The NFL chose Lamar as the next halftime performer even before his album was released, partially due to the massive success Lamar had with a feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” released on May 4 as part of his rap battle feud with Canadian rapper Drake, also spent two weeks at No. 1.
Lamar has won 17 Grammys and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album “DAMN.” SZA has won four Grammys in her career, and has been nominated an additional 22 times.
