Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show was packed with action, but while he had his fair share of supporters, he also had just as many critics.
Three years ago, at the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, Kendrick made his Super Bowl debut on the halftime show hip-hop dream team of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and 50 Cent.
On Sunday, he had the stage for himself.

Despite how anybody feels about it, he is not done entertaining fans.
Following their triumphant Super Bowl halftime performance, Kendrick Lamar and SZA announced new dates for their “Grand National” tour.
The duo will visit 13 stadiums across Europe and the United Kingdom this summer, after the tour crosses North America in the spring.
“grand national tour,” he announced.
“UK/Europe Dates

Lamar is touring to support his new album GNX, and SZA is supporting SOS Deluxe: Lana.
Kendrick Lamar Speaks On Making History At The Super Bowl
Kendrick Lamar sent the internet into a frenzy following his Super Bowl LIX halftime show at Caesars Superdome, which featured special guests Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams.
Playing the biggest stage in the game at the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl.
“So for me, this [means] everything, because it puts the culture on the forefront where it needs to be, and not minimized to just a catchy song or verse. This is a true art form, so to represent it on this type of stage is, like, everything that I’ve worked for and everything that I believe in. As far as the culture, I live and die by it. This s—t done changed my whole family’s life, so I don’t take it for granted at all.”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
