Kendrick Lamar's Unstoppable 2025: AMAs, Super Bowl, New Music, and Drake Feud

Kendrick Lamar BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Kendrick Lamar has been everywhere these past few days lighting up headlines and social media feeds with a series of heavyweight moves that could define his year, and maybe his career. According to Variety, Kendrick was just announced as the leading contender at the 2025 American Music Awards with a staggering 10 nominations, topping even chart juggernauts like Post Malone and Billie Eilish. His nominations span the biggest categories including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for GNX, Song of the Year for Not Like Us, and multiple nods for his collaborations with SZA. If he sweeps, he’ll tie the all-time single-night AMA win record held by Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, so expect a lot of industry eyes on him when the awards air live on May 26. Fresh off that news, the NFL confirmed that Kendrick will headline the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, with SZA officially joining him onstage. The announcement was teased with a video splash and quickly went viral, with the New York Post and Instagram memes calling Kendrick and SZA a “dream team” for the Super Bowl. This will be Kendrick’s second Super Bowl appearance, and with his comment that “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I'll be there to remind the world why,” the hype for this halftime show is already record-breaking. As if that weren’t enough, Kendrick dropped a surprise new track on his social channels, his first since Not Like Us, just as the MTV Video Music Awards kicked off, according to Rolling Stone. The song, as yet unnamed, has fans speculating about whether the party’s over for his rivals, with lyrics like “I think it’s time to watch the party die,” sparking even more drama. Speaking of drama, ABC News reports the legal feud with Drake is heating up again. Drake has upped his lawsuit against Universal Music Group, claiming the label rigged things in Kendrick’s favor with Not Like Us. UMG’s CEO is calling the accusations ridiculous, but Drake now demands to see Kendrick’s unredacted contract and any records that might show UMG’s hand in the epic track’s rise. Meanwhile, Kendrick and SZA are prepping for a massive 2025 Grand National Tour, with Allegiant Stadium hyping their May 31st Las Vegas date and other global stops already generating ticket frenzy. On social, Kendrick was pictured with Playboi Carti after a packed Atlanta show, fueling even more buzz about potential onstage collaborations and tour surprises. If all this isn’t enough to cement his place as hip-hop’s defining voice right now, I don’t know what is.
