Every surprise celebrity guest in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show
Kendrick Lamar gave a showstopping halftime performance at the 2025 Super Bowl that celebrated hits old and new while featuring a slew of famous faces.
Dressed in a leather sports jacket, jeans and a backward cap, the 37-year-old Grammy-winning rapper took the field on Sunday to deliver a high-energy concert.
Before he took the stage, though, he was introduced by Oscar-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam. The Pulp Fiction actor stayed throughout the show to introduce each segment.
Lamar was later joined by his longtime collaborator and R&B singer SZA to deliver renditions of their songs ' luther ' and 'All the Stars.'
Toward the end of the rapper's performance, the cameras panned to his backup dancers, which featured an unexpected cameo from tennis superstar Serena Williams. Williams and Lamar's rap nemesis Drake were rumored to have been romantically linked after they were seen kissing in 2015.
His setlist included a number of the newest hits from his latest GNX album, as well as a couple of his past bops, such as his 2017 track 'HUMBLE.'
Still, he couldn't close out his set without finally giving fans what they wanted: a taste of his chart-topping Drake diss track, 'Not Like Us.'
After teasing it a few times, saying: 'I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue,' Lamar finally gave in and performed it as his penultimate song; but not without a few changes.
In the original recording, Lamar references Drake's 2021 album, rapping: ' Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile.' But during the halftime performance, Lamar omitted the word pedophile as well as the n-word throughout.
Lamar was also joined onstage by his "Not Like Us" producer, DJ Mustard. Fans of the performance included Ben Stiller who shared on X: 'Best Halftime show ever..'
You can find Lamar's set list in full below:
- 'wacced out morals'
- 'Bodies (GNX snippet)'
- 'Squabble Up'
- 'HUMBLE.'
- 'DNA.'
- 'Euphoria'
- 'Man at the Garden'
- 'peekaboo (feat. azchike)'
- 'luther (with SZA)'
- 'All the Stars (with SZA)'
- 'Not Like Us'
- 'tv off (feat. lefty gunplay)'

Can you guess the location of each album cover?
David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust cover was shot as monochrome and vividly coloured afterwards but it's of a real location can you guess the place and for the locations for seven other iconic album covers Fans were stunned when American pop-rock band Haim featured a photo of themselves on Portland Street near Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens on the front of their new single, Take Me Back. They are far from the only band to put a UK street firmly on the uber-cool place map by using it on a record cover. The Beatles did it, as did Oasis, The Clash, The Jam, The Streets and Madness - to name but a few - as this great gallery of album covers shows. Now it's time to put your musical and geographical knowledge to the test. Take a look at the album covers and the photographs and see if you can name that street! 1. Manchester's Oasis went down south to film the cover of this iconic album, which celebrates its 20th anniversary. The setting was a popular location for record shops in the 1990s. 2. The Jam's 1977 masterpiece This Is the Modern World shows Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler, lurking under an overpass. That same year The Clash refers to the same road in their song about a certain city burning. 3. And pigs might fly … according to Pink Floyd's 1977 Animals album cover. But where is the landmark, that has recently had a very impressive facelift? 4. David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust cover was shot as monochrome and vividly coloured afterwards. The K West sign that hung above a furrier in 1982 has now been removed, but it remains an iconic street for Bowie fans 5. In 1977, The Clash released their debut studio album with a cove true to the spirit of punk rock—in a bohemian area popular with rebels young and old and home to iconic music venues like The Roundhouse. 6. The Beatles made this zebra crossing famous worldwide when it was used on the cover of their1969 studio album. Fans still flock here to recreate the image, outside the recording home of the Merseyside beat. But where is it? Lamar's 2015 Pimp A Butterfly album cover was shot in atmospheric monochrome and features a large group of black men and children, plus a baby cradled by Lamar himself on this US lawn, belonging to possibly the world 's most famous house. 8. English rapper Mike Skinner from The Streets chose this building in East Anglia for his 2011 Computer and Blues album after playing a student gig here. Answers: What's The Story Morning Glory, Berwick Street. Soho, London. The Westway, West London Battersea Power Station 23 Heddon Street, Soho, London, Alleyway directly opposite the band's 'Rehearsal Rehearsals' HQ in Camden Market, North London Abbey Road, near Abbey Road Studios, North West London The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.

Hailey Bieber poses with one of Hollywood's biggest lotharios... after Justin Bieber got close to SZA onstage
Justin Bieber may have recently hit headlines for his affectionate display with singer SZA, but his wife Hailey Bieber doesn't seem worried. In fact, the billion-dollar beauty mogul had some fun of her own on Thursday evening, as she posed up with one of Hollywood's biggest Lotharios: John Mayer. Mayer is a notorious ladies man who has dated a who's who of pinup women including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Katy Perry, to name a few. He has also been rumored to be dating Kiernan Shipka, although neither has confirmed a relationship. John and Hailey could have been mistaken for a power couple as he smiled while ruggedly handsome in grunge rock wear and she was sexy in a strapless black mini dress with pumps and sunglasses. The event was the Audemars Piguet's special evening with Vogue to celebrate 150th Anniversary in Los Angeles. Earlier she was seen dining at Alba. Meanwhile, there have been rampant rumors that Hailey and Justin have been experiencing marital challenges, even though both have denied it. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Mayer is a notorious ladies man who has dated a who's who of pinup women The event was the Audemars Piguet's special evening with Vogue to celebrate 150th Anniversary in Los Angeles This sighting comes after Bieber was frisky with two hot rappers: Sza and Sexyy Red. While Hailey told Vogue that she is doing well with Justin, there are still red flags everywhere as the Sorry singer continues to make questionable moves. He also admitted that during a fight with Hailey, he told her she would never land the cover of Vogue - which she just did. That made Hailey fans turn against Justin. Meanwhile, Hailey just earned boss status on Wednesday when she announced she is selling her skincare line Rhode in a massive $1 billion deal. The model, 28 - who launched the company nearly three years earlier in June 2022 - shared her brand is being acquired by E.l.f. Cosmetics. But the mom-of-one will still serve as founder of the brand as well as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation. Hailey stepped out solo for the evening as her husband Justin did not appear to be in attendance, though he acknowledged her achievement in an Instagram post, which he did not caption after coming under fire for his post following her Vogue shoot. Hailey put on a leggy display in a strapless, black minidress that clung to her frame and contained a hem that stopped inches above her knees. She stepped out of a sleek, black van upon arriving to the eatery while also sporting a pair of black heels and fashionable shades. Her locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Before her big night out, the media personality also had a more laid-back approach to the big news. In a short video shared to TikTok, Hailey showed herself rocking a face mask, eating sushi and listening to Britney Spears ' 2001 hit I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman in her bedroom. 'And I'm just in my room like this..,' captioned Hailey, who boasts 15.4million followers on the social media outlet. Though Hailey stepped out solo, her husband Justin helped celebrate his wife's business deal by reposting the announcement to his main Instagram page. The Peaches hitmaker - who recently came under fire for his comments about her Vogue achievement - additionally uploaded a separate carousel of images which showed the couple cozying up together. Hailey was pictured flashing a big smile on her face as she leaned into her husband who placed his hands on her chest and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek. The performer opted to not add a caption to the posts shortly after garnering backlash for his comments over Hailey's recent Vogue cover in a shocking tirade. He was on the receiving end of substantial backlash after revealing he cruelly told Hailey that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. On the same day his wife achieved her dream, the pop star divided the internet over his Instagram post congratulating her on the feat. The Sorry hitmaker's sense of humor did not land with his or Hailey's fans as he divulged why her Vogue cover was a full circle moment for them as couple. 'Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean, For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even,' he explained. Justin continued: 'Think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.' He concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: 'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.' Many saw his caption as a backhanded compliment and something 'so unnecessary' to share with his more than 294 million Instagram followers. Justin has since taken down the original caption and instead replaced it with a shrugging emoji. In April, it was revealed that Hailey was contemplating the sale of Rhode after hiring both J.P. Morgan and global investment bank Moelis to aid her in finding potential deal options. She previously opened up about her company and told PopSugar last year, 'I still have some fears and hesitations of "I hope this or that doesn't happen." I'm opening up this part of my world to everybody. Rhode is coming straight from my mind to their hands.' The beauty added: 'I'm the majority owner of this brand, I'm the one who put the most money into this brand, so my biggest hope is that people love it for what it is and for the quality of the product.' Another milestone that Rhode has reached is that products will soon hit shelves at Sephora stores beginning in Fall 2025. Fans have since told Hailey to leave her husband Justin following the $1billion deal on social media. One commented, 'Just a casual Hailey Bieber observer but she needs to take that $1B money and run from that man,' and another typed, 'HAILEY GET THAT DIVORCE NOW BEFORE JUSTIN STEALS THAT MONEY.' Following her Vogue interview, reporter Alessandra Codinha shared that Justin emailed her a sweet note about his wife of seven years. 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life,' he wrote to the journalist by email, 'but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey'. The Canadian artist also shared he loves family life with the beauty, adding: 'I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' The Vogue writer also revealed that they both want more children, with Hailey planning to have at least one more, though she will take it 'a kid at a time'. Hailey also noted that Justin sees her as a 'superhero' after welcoming their child, adding: 'At least that was the case for me.' Hailey gushed that welcoming their first child together their baby made their marriage even stronger. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said, 'the biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' Praising Justin as an 'amazing dad,' she added: 'I think you empathize with your parents a lot more. There's so much perspective that comes with it.' Justin also emailed the writer this note in support of his wife: 'She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.'
