Is Tyler marching to the stage for a special performance with Kendrick?
Fans are buzzing about a potential surprise guest during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, and many believe it could be none other than Tyler, The Creator. A promo video released on January 23 has sparked speculation, with eagle-eyed viewers picking up on several clues that suggest a possible collaboration between the two artists.
The 30-second trailer features a group of marchers in a military-style formation, which some believe references Tyler’s recent album Chromakopia. Tyler further fueled the rumors by commenting a cryptic zombie emoji on Kendrick’s Instagram post, which some fans linked to the marchers in the clip.
Adding to the mystery, the promo includes a brief snippet of Kendrick’s track “Hey Now,” which was recently remixed by Tyler. Given Tyler’s history of unexpected appearances, like his surprise performance at Kendrick’s Pop Out concert last summer, the possibility of a Super Bowl cameo is stirring excitement.
While Kendrick has yet to address the rumors, fans are hopeful, with one noting, “I’m 98% sure Tyler will be there.” Kendrick has confirmed one guest—SZA—will join him, but could Tyler join the lineup too? Fans will have to wait until February 9 to find out.
