How to watch Kendrick Lamars Super Bowl halftime show

77Mashable / Feb 10, 2025 at 3:06 AM//





Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and packed full of Drake disses, Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show predictably broke the internet.

Sporting an "A Minor" chain, the rapper was joined on stage by the likes of Serena Williams and SZA as he worked through a set list of 11 songs. If you missed the show itself, though, the NFL has now uploaded the 13-minute clip on its official YouTube channel (we've embedded the video above, but you can click through here if it doesn't load).

Oh, and if you were wondering, yes — Kendrick did play his Grammy-winning Drake diss, "Not Like Us".
