Before taking center stage for his headlining performance at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans on February 9, the hip-hop superstar announced that SZA will be performing alongside him during the event, as revealed in a promotional video for the upcoming extravaganza.
In a brief 30-second video, the artist known as “Squabble Up” rapper hinted at his upcoming performance, chatting on a football field, commenting that it’s larger than most people imagine. As their discussion unfolded, SZA sneaked up from behind, surprising him with a cooler and playfully dousing him with a blue energy drink. He mentioned during the call that he was pondering over a guest performer for his act.
The duo have collaborated on numerous ventures throughout the years, such as the song “All the Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack that gained them an Oscar nomination in 2019 for Best Original Song. They are now preparing to embark on a shared stadium tour starting April 19th. Moreover, the artist known for singing “Nobody Gets Me” has expressed enthusiasm about working with Kendrick Lamar on a complete collaborative album.
She expressed her enthusiasm to Sherri Shepherd during her Jan 8th interview on ‘Sherri’. She stated, ‘That would be fantastic! He’s truly brilliant. A significant aspect of his brilliance lies in his elusiveness and mystery, which I find intriguing.’
Furthermore, SZA, who just starred alongside Keke Palmer in the comedy “One of Them Days” and marked her film debut, was swift in acknowledging the Pulitzer Prize laureate’s efforts at pushing her artistically.
She went on to say about Kendrick, “He plays a significant role during my period of learning and stumbling, as I rely heavily on his knowledge and find myself in the limelight, saying ‘yes.’ He’s fantastic at saying yes while staying humble. So I just ask him, ‘Master, share your wisdom with me.’
