Kendrick Lamar just made history. 

The 37-year-old rap icon’s electrifying 2025 Super Bowl halftime performance has officially become the most-watched in history, pulling in a record-breaking 133.5 million viewers, according to Roc Nation.

Not only did he surpass Michael Jackson’s legendary 1993 performance (which held strong at 133.4 million viewers for decades), but he also outperformed last year’s Usher-led halftime show by 3%.

Kendrick’s setlist was stacked, featuring hits like “Humble,” “Luther,” “DNA,” and “euphoria.” And, of course, his viral Drake diss track made waves all over again.

The performance wasn’t just about the music, though—it was a cultural moment. With surprise cameos from Samuel L. Jackson, SZA, and Serena Williams, the show delivered on spectacle and star power.

As the first solo rapper to ever headline the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick didn’t just set a new record—he cemented his legacy.

History made. Mic dropped.
