Headlining the Superbowl halftime show


Kendrick Lamar is set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025 on FOX. Not my first choice, but not a bad pick.

Bad choice

Will the NFL and Fox censor Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show out of fear of a Drake lawsuit?

According to TMZ, "this year there's extra attention on Kendrick's plans, because of 'Not Like Us,' and the defamation lawsuit Drake filed against Universal Music Group over the diss track ... which, as we all know, flat-out calls Drake a 'certified pedophile.' So, here's what usually goes down ... once the execs get the set list, they call in the lawyers, who pore over the lyrics to make sure there's nothing that'll get the league or the network in trouble with the FCC. Now, there's no doubt Kendrick is doing the song -- our sources connected to him, the network and the league all confirm that. What the lawyers have to decide is whether to broadcast the lyrics that allegedly defame Drake, and risk a potential lawsuit."
