Kendrick Lamar will pop out and headline the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The hip-hop superstar will lead the halftime festivities of the NFL's must-watch television event. Lamar follows Usher's Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance, which became the most-watched halftime show of all time and earned three Emmy nominations.
Rihanna's 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance spawned five Emmy nominations, including two wins -- one for directing for a variety special, a first for the show.
Super Bowl LIX will mark the second Super Bowl halftime performance of Lamar's career. Lamar, 37, joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak on stage for the 2022 halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
