Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl Half Time Show: All The Guest Appearances

Kendrick Lamar delivered a powerful and unforgettable performance at Super Bowl LIX, bringing out a lineup of special guests and sparking heated discussions across the internet.

While fans had their predictions, few could have guessed that Samuel L. Jackson would take the stage as “Uncle Sam,” kicking off the show in a dramatic fashion.

Halfway through the set, SZA joined Lamar, performing “Luther” and “All the Stars” from Black Panther.

The singer, who recently spoke about the collaboration, described it as an honor to work with Lamar on such a grand stage.

But it wasn’t just about the music—Lamar’s ongoing feud with Drake seemed to play a role in his performance.

He made a direct mention of Drake’s name while performing “Not Like Us,” a move that many saw as a deliberate jab.

Adding fuel to the fire, Serena Williams also appeared during the show. Given her rumored past relationship with Drake, fans speculated that her presence was another subtle dig.

While some hoped for a surprise appearance from Drake, it was always unlikely that the Canadian rapper would show up.

Another big name in question was Taylor Swift, who was spotted in the audience at Caesars Superdome but was there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

One artist who didn’t appear but made headlines regardless was Lil Wayne. Many expected the New Orleans-born rapper to join Lamar on stage, but after being left out, he expressed his disappointment on social media.

However, he later revealed that he and Lamar had spoken privately and that there was no bad blood between them.

Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance was more than just music—it was a statement. Whether it was addressing personal rivalries, bringing cultural symbolism, or delivering high-energy hits, he left the audience buzzing.

As always, Lamar proved why he remains one of the most influential artists of his generation.
