Kendrick Lamar says his Super Bowl show will be about ‘storytelling’ Rapper Kendrick Lamar has said his Super Bowl half-time show on Sunday will be about “storytelling” and will “make people listen”.
“I get to finally see how certain individuals, see me come up in the process, because I seen her day one, coming in the studio and writing songs, throwing away songs, writing another song, throwing away songs, and songs is hard.
Sunday’s show will be Lamar’s second performance on the Super Bowl stage, having previously performed with Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige, 50 Cent and Anderson Paak, in 2022 as part of a tribute to hip hop.
Urged to give a hint at his performance, the 22-time Grammy winner said: “(People should expect) storytelling, I think I’ve always been very open about storytelling through all my catalogue and my history of music, and I’ve always had a passion about bringing that on whatever stage I’m on.
Lamar said: “I wasn’t thinking about no Super Bowl, we was thinking about the best verse and how we going to split this five dollars at Church’s Chicken or something like that.
