Kendrick Lamar: successes in 2025, new album, and performance at Super Bowl LIX
10 february 2025 в 19:50
Kendrick Lamar really had an incredible year — and even more.
Because of his ongoing feud with Drake, Lamar seemed to bury the rivalry with his undeniable hit «Not Like Us». Then he released his album GNX right before the end of 2024, which continues to top the charts and garnered attention when he appeared at the Grammys.
But that wasn’t his biggest achievement — Super Bowl LIX was set to shake everything up, featuring Lamar along with his special guest, SZA, who will join him on his Grand National tour starting in April. The performance marked the first time a rap star was the sole headliner of the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Lamar had previously performed at the Super Bowl in 2022 as part of a star-studded lineup with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige.
With all the success he’s experiencing, you can learn more about the rap legend’s net worth and much more below.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lamar’s net worth is $ 140 million.
In 2025, KDOT received seven Grammy nominations in five different categories. He walked away with several prestigious awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance for his hit «Not Like Us».
Throughout his career, Lamar has become one of the most awarded rap artists in Grammy history, with 57 nominations and 22 wins to date.
It may be surprising, but artists do not get paid for performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL has never paid artists for their performances, although they cover production costs.
Joanna Hunter, a representative for the NFL, explained to Forbes in 2016: «We do not pay the artists. We cover the expenses and production costs»
