From Drake Jabs to Lil Wayne Defenders, Fans Are Reacting to Kendrick Lamar Headlining the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show


Fans are reacting on social media to news that Kendrick Lamar will headline the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2024.

Naturally, fans lit up social media shortly after the announcement, with many commenting on Lamar’s high-profile rap beef with Drake and others expressing disappointment over New Orleans native Lil Wayne not being chosen to represent his hometown at the Super Bowl. Lil Wayne’s name became a trending topic on X following K. Dot’s Super Bowl Halftime Show announcement, as numerous Weezy fans found it disrespectful to overlook the veteran rapper, who hails from the Louisiana city. Other social media comments ranged from which other special guests Lamar might invite to join him on stage — including the possibility of Eminem and Beyonce — while others hope that K. Dot’s Super Bowl gig will also bring an announcement of a new album.
