Kendrick Lamar is headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, but he wasn’t the only star to take the stage.
As Lamar ran through the hits, including the one song everyone was waiting to hear (except Drake), he was joined by several guest stars.
Samuel L. Jackson
He started the show with Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam, and Jackson stayed on to emcee the rest of the show.

Mustard
He played a medley of his most popular songs, many of which were produced by Mustard, who joined him on stage.
SZA
We knew Kendrick would bring out SZA, since it was announced earlier this week. But that didn’t stop fans from losing it when they got to hear All The Stars.
Serena Williams
One of the biggest surprises was Serena Williams, the tennis superstar, who was dancing at key parts during Kendricks performance.
He made many nods to his biggest Drake diss “Not Like Us,” including saying he wanted to play it but knew people “like to sue.” The song, and beef as a whole, resulted in multiple lawsuits — including Drake suing Universal Music Group and Spotify. Kendrick did eventually play the song at the show, which the audience sung along to, and alleges Drake’s pedophilia and sexual misconduct. Beyond solidifying his victory against Drake, also broke several Spotify records and won Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
