Kendrick Lamar was NOT paid for his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance


Los Angeles rapper Kendrick Lamar will highlight the Super Bowl LIX on Sunday in what will be one of the most highly-anticipated performances of the year .

A Reuters report from 2020 revealed that the PepsiCo-sponsored halftime show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira costs a whopping $13 million to produce. The Super Bowl halftime show opened with none other than actor Samuel L. Jackson, who was playing 'Uncle Sam,' dressed in a red white and blue tuxedo. He ultimately performed an abridged and censored version of Not Like Us, though he did still call out Drake by name and use his controversial 'A minor' line... which the packed crowd at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans was heard singing along with.
