Who are Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show confirmed special guests?

Kendrick Lamar has confirmed that his long-time collaborator and huge artist SZA will be joining him on stage at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The pair announced that they are going on tour later in 2025, so this comes as no surprise. As for songs, fans predict they will sing 'All The Stars' and 'luther'.

Just before kick-off, musician and composer Jon Batiste will take the field to perform the National Anthem, but won't be performing alongside Lamar.

Who is rumoured to join Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl halftime show?

There are no other confirmed artists just yet, but fans can't help and theorise who might be joining Kendrick on stage at the Super Bowl.

Lil Wayne is a name that has been floating around, especially as he is from New Orleans himself.

Wayne hasn’t been shy about his frustration over being snubbed for the Super Bowl in his own hometown, so could he be a special guest?

Other names that have been floating about is rising star Doechii, Future & Metro Boomin and Baby Keem.

Kendrick has been vocal about his admiration towards rapper Doechii, and following her viral Grammy performance, what better way to propel her to a worldwide audience!

Future & Metro Boomin were partly the catalyst of the immense Drake beef, after K. Dot jumped on the track 'Like That' from their joint album.
