SZA
Surprise, I’m Joining K. Dot!!!
… For SB Halftime Show
Published
Kendrick Lamar‘s highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show just got even more exciting … ’cause SZA is joining in on the party!
Apple Music — which sponsors the gig — dropped the news out of nowhere on Thursday, announcing the 4x Grammy Award winner would be joining K. Dot in NOLA on February 9.
The platform also shared a new teaser for the show, featuring Kendrick on the phone discussing the possibility of adding someone to his set list … when SZA creeps up behind him and dumps a jug full of blue liquid all over the “Not Like Us” MC.
The partnership makes sense … not only are they both Top Dawg artists, they also have several songs together — most recently “luther” and “gloria” on Lamar’s “GNX” album.
Performing the SB is a huge deal … considering the game, year in and year out, draws a massive audience across the world.
Other artists who have gotten the nod in recent years include Usher, The Weeknd, and Lady Gaga … as well as icons like Michael Jackson and Prince back in the day.
Of course, the choice to go with Lamar was somewhat polarizing, as Lil Wayne — who’s from New Orleans — thought he deserved the slot.
The whole thing goes down in just 17 days … get your popcorn ready!
