Lil Wayne Rumors Hit As Kendrick Becomes Halftime Show Lead

  • Kendrick Lamar is the Super Bowl 59 halftime performer, with rumors of Lil Wayne as a potential co-performer starting up thanks to Master P.

NEW ORLEANS – The announcement of Kendrick Lamar as the main performer at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show came on Sunday. Marking a major return to the NFL’s biggest stage, the Grammy-winning rapper will be the headliner in New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on February 9, 2025.

This will be Lamar’s second Super Bowl appearance, having previously performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige at the 2022 show.

Lamar is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of his generation having won 17 Grammy Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Music (for his critically acclaimed album DAMN). His latest release, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, dropped in 2022, further solidifying his place in the upper echelons of hip-hop.

Who Is Performing With Kendrick At The Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl 59 halftime show is produced by Roc Nation and Jesse Collins, with creative direction by pgLang, a company co-founded by Lamar. Jay-Z, founder of Roc Nation, praised Lamar as a “once-in-a-generation” artist whose influence extends beyond music to global culture. Lamar’s performance is expected to blend his signature thoughtfulness with a show-stopping display of creativity.

Fans are already buzzing about the possibility of guest performers, with New Orleans native Lil Wayne’s name surfacing. Master P publicly called for Wayne to join Lamar on stage.

And even last year, Wayne himself expressed how he’d dominate the show when asked how he’d feel about performing.

What? “How would you feel?” I’d kill that shit. We wouldn’t even worry about the game after that. Everybody knew that one kid [who] was watching the halftime show, but that’d be one of the first Super Bowls that they’ll be like, “Both teams were out on the field watching the halftime show.”

The 2025 halftime show promises to deliver another unforgettable Super Bowl betting moment, as odds on how many songs he’ll perform, various artists to be on stage, and more will hit the sportsbooks soon.
