Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. The rapper took home five Grammy Awards last Sunday, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, for “Not Like Us,” which gained attention amid his feud with Canadian rapper Drake. Lamar previously performed at Super Bowl 56 in 2022, alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak.
