\n\tKendrick Lamar<\/a> rarely does interviews these days, but he sat down with Apple Music\u2019s Nadeska and Ebro Darden on Thursday morning (Feb. 6) in New Orleans prior to taking the stage this weekend for the Super Bowl LIX<\/a> halftime show.<\/p>\n

\n\tLamar answered questions for about a half-hour, and while Drake wasn\u2019t brought up directly, K. Dot put his banner 2024 in review on multiple occasions. The Compton, California, native carried last year\u2019s momentum into 2025 as he took home five Grammy wins on Sunday, including song of the year and record of the year for \u201cNot Like Us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter joining him at the Super Bowl, SZA<\/a> and Lamar will head out on the Grand National Tour, which will invade stadiums across North America.<\/p>\n

\n\tEven with all the success, battle victories and accolades pouring in, Lamar remains steady. \u201cIt\u2019s just a continuum of who I am, really. I\u2019ve always stayed to myself and been in my own bubble whether it\u2019s with the fam or my training,\u201d he said. \u201cI continue to do what I was doing 10 years ago and that\u2019s bettering myself, bettering the craft and not looking at it as bright lights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLamar made his Super Bowl debut<\/a> in Los Angeles with the West Coast halftime showcase in 2022, co-headlined by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary J. Blige.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe follows Rihanna<\/a> (2023) and Usher<\/a> (2024) as Super Bowl headliners and he\u2019s promising some profound \u201cstorytelling\u201d with his performance in New Orleans on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere are five things we learned from his interview with Apple Music below.<\/p>\n
