In the video clip shared on YouTube, Lamar can be seen shooting footballs out of an automatic passing machine. "My name's Kendrick Lamar, and I'll be performing at Super Bowl LIX," the Like That rapper announces. "Will you be pulling up? I hope so. You know it's only one opportunity to win a championship. No round twos," he adds.
"I won't want you to miss it. Meet me in New Orleans. Feb. 9, 2025," the Swimming Pools rapper continued, adding, "Wear your best dress, too, even if you watch it from home." Next year's performance marks Lamar's second at the Super Bowl. In 2022, he secured a spot in Dr Dre's star-studded halftime show performance alongside Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent.
