If you haven’t heard, Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. The superstar rapper hits a new level and will have something more to add over his recent nemesis, Drake. Of course, we have novelty odds you can bet online regarding Lamar’s upcoming performance. While some of these should already be played now, we’d recommend waiting for more news before betting the others.
3 Ways to Bet on Kendrick Lamar and the Super Bowl Halftime Show
1. The Most Obvious Song Choices
If you don’t know who Kendrick Lamar is, he’s a 17-time Grammy Award winner and is considered the greatest rapper of his generation.Time listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world while Rolling Stone listed three of his albums in its revised 500 greatest albums of all time. He is a big deal and has a plethora of song choices to pick from.
But the most obvious ones are listed as follows:
- N95
- Not Like Us
- Humble
- All the Stars (feat. SZA)
- Family Ties (feat. Baby Keem)
- Alright
- Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe
- Euphoria
- Bad Blood (feat. Taylor Swift)
Of these song choices, “N95”, “Not Like Us”, “Humble”, “All the Stars”, and “Family Ties” are listed as “locks” to be performed per our novelty betting lines.
“N95” is the favorite to be his opening song at -200. “Not Like Us” is heavily favored to be performed at a whopping -5000, which is his infamous diss track against Drake. “Humble” (-900), “All the Stars” (-300), and “Family Ties” (-175) should also be on his playlist. The latter two feature guest stars SZA and Baby Keem, who you can also bet on to perform with him.
It’s tough to bet on songs this early, especially with Lamar featuring dozens of hit singles. But “N95” is his top single from his latest album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. We won’t be surprised if he opens with “Not Like Us” at +500 just to get everyone pumped.
But let’s address a long shot here: “Bad Blood”, which Lamar features with Taylor Swift.

2. Lamar Leaves Swift Out?
This is the burning question: will Taylor Swift make a guest appearance and perform “Bad Blood” with Lamar? Unsurprisingly, the answer is “no” at -4000. This is Swift’s song and Lamar is the guest artist. But the online sports betting odds may change closer to the Super Bowl. For one, the Kansas City Chiefs may be back in the big game. You know what that means?
Swift will most likely be in Super Bowl LIX to support her beau, tight end Travis Kelce. He just re-upped in Kansas City and should be motivated to extend his team’s dynasty. If Swift is in the stands and Lamar is performing, the logistics seem easier to have her “show up”.
Optimistic online betting fans can also bet on Swift to perform with Lamar at +7000. This is a long shot at best and the 0-2 Jacksonville Jaguars have better odds to win Super Bow LIX (+6500).
There’s also a matter of ego here. Swift is the bigger star and it’s unlikely she’ll minimize herself to a cameo appearance. If anything, Lamar should guest star when it’s Swift’s turn to perform at the Super Bowl (if she ever does). So despite the whale-like odds, this is “chalk or pass”.

3. What About Other Stars?
While Swift is highly unlikely to perform with Lamar, plenty could still feature. The most obvious is Baby Keem, who could co-perform with him in “Family Ties”. Our Super Bowl halftime show props have Baby Keem with the shortest odds at +125 to perform with Lamar. Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q are also strong contenders at +150 while Lil Wayne is set at +200.
With the female artists, it’s more of a challenge. Cardi B and Rihanna have the shortest odds at +500 and +600, respectively. That’s not ideal. However, we also like a dark horse in SZA at +5000. Unlike Cardi B and Rihanna, SZA has ties with Kendrick Lamar through the song “All the Stars”, which has also gained massive popularity due to being a theme song to the hit Marvel film Black Panther. It’s worth a small bet given the long odds.
