Kendrick Lamar to Give Rare Interview Ahead of Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show
Kendrick Lamar is set to make waves both on and off the field as he gears up for his performance at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Ahead of the big event, K.Dot will sit down for a rare interview during the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show press conference on Thursday, February 6, at 10 AM CT. The conversation, hosted by Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis, will stream live on Apple Music.
Lamar’s highly anticipated halftime show will take place on Sunday, February 9, at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome during the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The performance has been shrouded in mystery, with fans eagerly speculating about potential surprises.
Top Dawg Entertainment artist Ab-Soul recently added fuel to the fire with a cryptic post on social media, hinting at a historic moment for the show. “LISTEN… I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A FT FROM FREE,” he wrote, referencing Kendrick’s longtime manager, Dave Free. “SMFH. I JUST SHED A TEAR. DEAD HOMIES. SUPER BOWL LIX. HISTORY!!! @pgLang x @TopDawgEnt.”
The post led many fans to believe that a Black Hippy reunion may be on the horizon, with fellow members ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock possibly joining Kendrick on stage. Adding to the excitement, SZA has already been confirmed as a guest performer, fueling speculation that other artists from pgLang and TDE may make appearances.
However, one rumored guest has shut down the speculation. Tyler, The Creator, whose name was circulating as a potential collaborator for the halftime show, clarified his absence in an Instagram comment: “n-gga im on tour i will not be at [a] football game yall better watch kenny.” Tyler is currently on his Chromakopia World Tour, which includes shows in Kansas City and Denver surrounding the Super Bowl date.
Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance marks his return to the spotlight after a monumental year. In 2025, he released his chart-topping album GNX, broke records with his hit single “Not Like Us,” and claimed major victories at the Grammy Awards. Despite his accomplishments, he has maintained a low profile, making Thursday’s press conference even more significant for fans eager to hear from the artist himself.
With his creative brilliance and the strong possibility of surprises, Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show is poised to be a cultural moment. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely as he takes the stage in what promises to be one of the most talked-about performances of the year.
