Here’s What K.Dot Previously Said About Headlining The SB Halftime Show
This might be Kendrick’s first time headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, but it’s not his first time taking over the big stage. Back in 2022, he tore it up in LA with Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Eminem, and Dr. Dre.
Kendrick opened up to Billboard about headlining and he admitted that he thinks he’s the perfect person for the job.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one,” Lamar explained.
