Will SZA, Future, or Drake join Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show? Breaking down collabs, feuds, and surprise cameos.

Who’s joining Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime spectacle?
The rumor mill’s spinning faster than a DJ turntable! Kendrick’s 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show lineup is still under wraps, but leaks and feuds hint at fireworks.
SZA’s the only confirmed guest—so far—but with Kendrick’s catalog of collabs and rap beefs, expect surprises. Will Drake crash the party? Let’s break it down.
Why is SZA a lock for the setlist?
Fresh off their Grand National Tour, SZA’s a no-brainer. From Black Panther’s “All the Stars” to SOS’s “30 For 30,” their chemistry’s golden.
Kendrick’s already hyped her on IG—so grab popcorn for a soul-rap fusion that’ll break TikTok.
Could Future and Metro Boomin ignite the diss track?
“Like That” has to blaze live. The Drake-dissing banger’s still scorching charts—and Kendrick’s feud with Drizzy’s hotter than NOLA gumbo.
Plus, Future and Metro’s We Don’t Trust You hype? Prime Halftime drama fuel.
Will Black Hippy reunite for a Pop Out sequel?
Kendrick’s TDE fam—ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul—dropped jaws at The Pop Out in 2024. Another reunion in NOLA? Crowds would rave. Bonus: Black Hippy reunions always trend.
What about Taylor or Beyoncé? Long shots?
Taylor Swift belting “Bad Blood” mid-Travis Kelce cheers? Unlikely—she’s glued to that VIP suite.
Beyoncé’s? Her Renaissance collabs (“Freedom,” “AHAP”) could slay, but Queen Bey’s post-Grammys MIA. Our bet: don’t hold your breath.
Is Drake a ‘0% chance’ or wildcard cameo?
Feel free to express your disapproval. Kendrick and Drake’s beef’s nuclear, but the Super Bowl squashes feuds, right? Their three collabs (“Poetic Justice,” anyone?) could mend fences—or spark WAR.
Spoiler: Lamar’s more likely to roast Drizzy than hug him.
Why’s Lil Wayne ghosting the hometown stage?
Weezy’s salty he wasn’t tapped to headline. Kendrick’s GNX track “wacced out murals” rubbed salt: “My hard work let Lil Wayne down.”
Wayne clapped back: “I shall destroy if disturbed.” Oof—don’t expect a Carter III throwback.
