50 Cent has publicly supported Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, asserting that Lamar is currently the standout artist in hip-hop. During an interview on The Talk, 50 Cent acknowledged the debate over Lamar's selection, particularly in New Orleans, where some believe Lil Wayne should have been the performer. He emphasized Lamar's talent and influence, suggesting that he should invite artists he has collaborated with to join him on stage. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Roc Nation's Shawn 'JAY-Z' Carter also praised Lamar's selection, highlighting his significant impact on music and culture. The Super Bowl halftime show will take place on February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome, with anticipation building for Lamar's performance. The discussions around artist inclusivity and representation continue, particularly with regards to Lil Wayne's absence from the lineup.
