8 hilarious memes mocking Drake as Kendrick Lamar set to headline Super Bowl LIX Halftime show
Kendrick Lamar has officially been announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime show, and the internet wasted no time imagining how Drake, his long-time rival, might have responded. The highly anticipated performance is set to take place in February 2025 in New Orleans, an event that has already started generating buzz across social media. Fans of Lamar are now filling X with hilarious memes, many of which speculate how Drake might have felt when he heard the news. Kendrick confirmed the news, posting on his social media: "Super Bowl LIX. New Orleans. February 2025." The announcement follows a summer dominated by his song 'Not Like Us,' which shot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2024.
