Cancel Culture Hits The 2025 Super Bowl After The Rap Star Halftime Entertainment Was Announced.
It’s hard to believe Super Bowl LIX is just around the corner, set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. As always, one of the most anticipated aspects of the event is the halftime show, and this year, Kendrick Lamar will be taking center stage. Widely regarded as one of the greatest rap artists of all time, Lamar’s headline performance has sparked a mix of excitement and debate among fans.
If you feel like you’ve seen Lamar on the Super Bowl stage before, you’re not mistaken. He made a guest appearance during the 2022 halftime show, which was headlined by Snoop Dogg. This time, however, he’ll be the main act, and the announcement of his performance came in a September 2024 teaser trailer from Apple Music, the halftime show’s sponsor.
While many fans are thrilled to see Lamar in the spotlight, not everyone is equally enthusiastic. Some are calling him the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) and believe he’s more than deserving of the honor. Others, particularly those who aren’t football fans, are indifferent, viewing the halftime show as just another part of the spectacle.
However, there are critics who argue that Lamar isn’t the strongest live performer. They feel his stage presence lacks the passion and energy that other artists bring to such a high-profile event. This has led to mixed reactions, with some fans eagerly anticipating his performance and others expressing disappointment.
One notable figure who seemed to have hoped for the halftime spotlight himself is Lil Wayne. The New Orleans native took to Instagram to share his feelings about being passed over for the role. He wrote, "I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position.” He added, "But I thought there was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt.”
Despite the differing opinions, one thing is certain: all eyes will be on Kendrick Lamar as he takes the stage during one of the most-watched events of the year. Congratulations are in order, and we can’t wait to see how the game—and the halftime show—unfold!
