Many fans were hoping he’d add the diss track to his setlist, but some took it even further, convinced he’d go all out and bring Drake on stage as a surprise guest.

“Calling it one last time KENDRICK WILL BRING OUT DRAKE,” one person predicted.

Another shared the same thought: “Now all I need is Kendrick to bring out Drake and then I can be happy about this matchup lol.”

Like every Super Bowl performer, Lamar had a set of rules to follow.

For starters, songs have to be shortened to fit the fast-paced medley format. “You’re just running around for 13 minutes, trying to put like a two-hour set for 13 minutes,” 2023 headliner Rihanna explained at a press conference.

Artists also have to be mindful of their actions—explicit gestures are strictly prohibited, and profanity is a no-go during the halftime show. Rapper M.I.A. learned this lesson the hard way when she was slapped with a $16.6 million fine for flipping off the camera while performing alongside Madonna at Super Bowl XLVI.

On top of that, performers get just six minutes to set up before hitting the stage, and no matter the weather, the show must go on.
