Kendrick Lamar will carry out the halftime present at Tremendous Bowl LIX in New Orleans, the NFL and hip hop famous person introduced Sunday morning … one of many highest profile gigs on the planet!

“What’s the deal everyone, my title is Kendrick Lamar and I’ll be acting at Tremendous Bowl 59,” Ok. Dot mentioned within the announcement video, as he stood on a soccer area, in entrance of a large American flag, and fired balls from a Jugs machine.
“Will you be pulling up? I hope so. You already know there’s just one alternative to win a championship. No spherical 2s. Let’s get it!”
Talking of Drizzy, the “spherical 2” reference within the halftime announcement is probably going a shot on the rapper … who has been teasing a second go-around with Lamar.
As for the timing of the halftime present headliner, the NFL wasted no time this 12 months. The league sometimes waits till just a few video games into the season, however this time round, spilled the beans on Sunday earlier than week 1 kickoff.
The NFL is not any stranger to locking down prime expertise for the SB halftime present. Final 12 months Usher had the distinction of performing, whereas Rihanna held down SB 57. 56 was Dre, Eminem, Snoop, Mary J., and 50 Cent … and it was epic.
The present has featured legends like Prince and Michael Jackson.
Performers typically convey out company … and Kendrick has labored with everybody from Em to Travis Scott … so anticipate some associates.
