Kendrick Lamar says expect some ‘storytelling’ in his Super Bowl halftime show

CNN  

CNN — Kendrick Lamar has been riding high lately, and now he is poised to reach one of his highest heights yet. Fresh off of winning five Grammy Awards, including song and record of the year for his hit “Not Like Us,” Lamar is the featured performer for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show on Sunday. At the same time, we will vigorously defend this litigation to protect our people and our reputation, as well as any artist who might directly or indirectly become a frivolous litigation target for having done nothing more that write a song.” Part of what Drake objects to - and strongly denies - are Lamar’s lyrics in which he raps, “Say Drake, I hear you like ‘em young/You better not ever go to cell block one,” as well as Lamar saying “Certified lover boy? “There could be a situation where we see Kendrick not being able to say those words, but that doesn’t mean that the entire crowd at the Super Bowl, as well as the millions of Americans that are at home at their their Super Bowl parties would not be singing those words.” CNN has reached out to the NFL to determine if any limitations have been put on Lamar regarding performing the song. “If I’m thinking of ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.” SZA is scheduled to be a guest at Lamar’s halftime show.
