Joining a long list of past prominent performers — such as Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and countless more — the “Not Like Us” hitmaker got the highly coveted spot in the upcoming event. Both Kendrick and the NFL announced the news on September 8, 2024, five months ahead of the Super Bowl.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Kendrick said in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
