Kendrick Lamar performed the Super Bowl LIX halftime show featuring cameos from SZA, Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams.
The rap megastar Kendrick Lamar delivered a stunning performance during Super Bowl LIX's halftime show, infusing his Los Angeles hip-hop flavor into New Orleans while staying true to his storytelling roots.
And he wasn't alone; Lamar was joined by singer and songwriter SZA.
The two performed their slow-jam-style collaboration “Luther.”
Lamar didn’t disappoint, bringing “Not Like Us,” which won him Grammys for song of the year and record of the year.
His halftime show also featured another big name -- Samuel L. Jackson as the emcee.
“Salutations! It’s your uncle, Sam, and this is the great American game!” Jackson said done-up in red white and blue.
Lamar’s appeared crouched atop a Buick Grand National Experimental — the car his newest album, “GNX,” is named for. Dancers wearing red, white and blue came pouring out of the Buick like a clown car and moved in sync to songs including “Humble.”
