Kendrick Lamar is set to sit down for a rare interview ahead of his performance at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.
On Thursday (February 6), K.Dot will join Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis for the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show press conference beginning at 10 AM CT on Apple Music.

Then on Sunday (February 9), Kendrick will hit the stage for the big show at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome while the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ab-Soul recently teased that something big is going down during the show, but didn’t specify what.

In a cryptic post on X last week, the TDE rapper wrote: “LISTEN… I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A FT FROM FREE,” referencing Kendrick Lamar’s longtime manager Dave Free.
“SMFH. I JUST SHED A TEAR. DEAD HOMIES. SUPER BOWL LIX. HISTORY!!! @pgLang x @TopDawgEnt.”

Many fans interpreted the post as a hint that Ab-Soul — and possibly also his Black Hippy brethren ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock — would be making an appearance during Kendrick’s highly-anticipated performance.
SZA has so far been confirmed to join Kendrick on stage, and while there were rumors swirling of Tyler, The Creator also possibly joining, he’s since set the record straight.
Responding to the chatter in an Instagram comment on Friday (January 31), Tyler wrote: “n-gga im on tour i will not be at [a] football game yall better watch kenny.”
He was referencing his Chromakopia World Tour, which begins on Tuesday (February 4) in St. Paul, MN and will keep him on the road until September.

Tyler has a day off when Super Bowl LIX takes place, but the big game is sandwiched in between performances in Kansas City, MO on February 8 and Denver, CO on February 11.
Kendrick himself has yet to comment on the Super Bowl and has remained largely silent since last year, despite his rap beef victory over Drake, the record-breaking success of “Not Like Us,” the release of his chart-topping album GNX, and his historic 2025 Grammy Awards wins – creating all the more anticipation for his sit down with Apple Music.
