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.
Better script those questions real well or he might say some stupid shit again like he did about Mike Brown ten years ago. Probably the best thing his team did was getting him to fall back from doing interviews to hide how fake deep he is.
Nah, I agree with him. All this thug/thot culture is a burden on decent hard working, open minded Black folks. The truth is people don’t respect those who don’t respect themselves. That doesn’t minimize racism. If anything it gives racism a pass, making it easier for racists to justify their hate. It’s time for ghetto culture to die right alongside the party. It is a poison to our community as a whole. Enough is enough.
Yeah, you agree that police should be able to shoot us down like a dog if they feel “threatened.” You sound stupid as he did. Go look up that case in Maryland I think it was where they choked a kid to death when people had repeatedly warned them about the fat white cop that he was going to kill somebody because he couldn’t handle himself on duty.
By the way, older black people tried that shit. It even has a name called respectability politics. I’m going to let you guess whether it worked out where they stopped doing it or not. Do you hear white people saying if you have tattoo sleeves and piercings in your face, police should be able to shoot you because they feel threatened? Nope. That if you look like a biker, they should be able to shoot you like a wild animal? Nope. As stupid as that we couldn’t get jobs because black men need to pull their pants up when white kids were sagging too at the same time back in the day from Cosby, then he got his own wake-up call where all his old white friends he used to shit on us with turned on him.
