Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Half Time Show 2025

Kendrick Lamar surprised fans by performing a brand new verse during the opening night of his Grand National stadium tour. The show took place in Minneapolis on Saturday, April 19, and featured fellow artists SZA and DJ Mustard.

During the performance of “family ties,” Kendrick replaced Baby Keem’s original first verse with new lyrics. He rapped about fearing God and made references to his loyalty to the West Coast. Fans quickly noticed the fresh bars and praised Kendrick’s energy on stage.

This new verse adds more excitement to the tour, which will continue across North America through June before heading to Europe in July. The live crowd enjoyed every moment, especially since Kendrick’s verses often bring unexpected surprises.

Later in the night, Kendrick also performed his hit diss track “Not Like Us.” Before starting the song, he appeared to mock Drake by referencing the “drop, drop, drop” line from their recent battle.

The moment follows other recent shots at Drake, including DJ Mustard’s Coachella set where he also played “Not Like Us” and added his own comment: “Why you suing like a b***h, ain’t you tired?”

Kendrick’s new verse shows he is not slowing down. Even with drama in the background, his performances continue to grab attention. Fans now wait to see what surprises the rest of the tour will bring.
