In 2022, Lamar was a supporting performer during the Super Bowl 56 halftime show. The “legends of hip hop” lineup also featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. However, three years later, Lamar will headline the show with SZA.

Apple Music's Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis will interview Lamar and pre-game performers beginning at 10 a.m. Central time. The rap megastar takes the Super Bowl stage fresh off a Grammy triumph, where he claimed two of the night's biggest awards — song and record of the year — for his diss track “Not Like Us.”
