The post Super Bowl LIX: 3 Epic Moments That Stole the Show appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The Philadelphia Eagles secured their second Super Bowl championship, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 and preventing them from achieving the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat. Their quarterback Jalen Hurts was the star of the night, and he won the Super Bowl MVP title after passing for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
Super Bowl halftime show is always worth the wait, and Kendrick Lamar’s performance lived up to the hype. He performed a mix of recent releases and his biggest hits, brought out several surprise guests, and had the entire stadium singing along while he took shots at Drake with the triumphant rendition of “Not Like Us”.
Super Bowl LIX was one star-studded affair, and everyone from Hollywood’s biggest stars to the president of the United States was in attendance. Taylor Swift’s appearance stirred a lot of commotion, especially after she was booed by a heavily pro-Eagles crowd while supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end.

]]>Beyoncé came into this year’s Grammy Awards with 11 nods and managed to take three trophies home, including her very first album of the year prize. Cowboy Carter also helped her make history as the first Black female artist to walk away with the best country album award at the Grammys.
Kendrick Lamar added five more Grammys to his collection after winning the coveted song and record of the year awards for “Not Like Us”. This viral hit also helped him dominate rap categories, winning best rap song and rap performance, in addition to being honored with the best music video trophy.
It was also a night to remember for Sierra Ferrell, who picked up four awards in the Americana categories. She was closely followed by Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and St. Vincent, who managed to collect three trophies each.
The 2025 Grammy Awards were held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, with Trevor Noah serving as a host for the fifth consecutive year.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Soars to the Top of the Charts With “GNX” appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>Lamar dropped GNX on November 22 with no prior notice, and a surprise factor helped him build a lot of hype for this record and top the Billboard 200 chart with 319,000 equivalent album units. This marks Lamar’s fifth album to hit No. 1 after Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022), DAMN. (2017), Untitled Unmastered (2016), and To Pimp a Butterfly (2015).
Lamar also found huge success on the Billboard Hot 100, charting all 12 songs from GNX and occupying the top five with “Squabble Up”, “TV Off” ft. Lefty Gunplay, “Luther” ft. SZA, “Wacced Out Murals”, and “Hey Now” ft. Dody6. He’s the fourth artist to achieve this feat, joining the exclusive company of Taylor Swift, Drake, and The Beatles.
“Squabble Up” is Lamar’s third song to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year, after “Like That” ft. Future and Metro Boomin and “Not Like Us”. He’s the only artist with three No. 1 hits in 2024, and the third alongside Ariana Grande and BTS to achieve three No. 1 debuts in a single year.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Announced as 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show Headliner appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>This won’t be the first time Lamar hit the Super Bowl stage. He was a part of the hip-hop celebration in 2022 with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem, and he’s planning to remind the world why “rap music is still the most impactful genre to date” at the Super Bowl LIX.
Seth Dudowsky, head of music at the NFL, announced Lamar as the next headliner and said they’re excited to join forces with Roc Nation and Apple Music to deliver another unforgettable halftime show.
“Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar. Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop,” Dudowsky said in a statement.
Kendrick Lamar kicked off 2024 with a chart-topping Future and Metro Boomin collaboration “Like That”. This song sparked his feud with Drake, which produced several hit songs, including Lamar’s latest No. 1 single “Not Like Us”.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Scores His Fourth No. 1 Hit With Diss Track “Not Like Us” appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The two rappers go back a long way, but their recent feud can be traced to Future and Metro Boomin’s single “Like That”, which featured Lamar. He made several jabs at Drake in this song, and the Canadian rapper didn’t stay silent for too long, dropping his own diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle”.
They’ve been going back and forth for quite some time, giving us several more diss tracks along the way, but none of them made a bigger splash than “Not Like Us”. It’s Lamar’s fourth single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, after earning 70.9 million official streams, 5 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 15,000 copies sold in its debut week.
In addition to “Not Like Us”, this feud produced several more top-ten hits this week. Lamar’s “Euphoria” rose to No. 3 in its second week, while Drake’s “Family Matters” hit No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In addition to making sure to give us a little bit of everything, Lollapalooza organizers managed to make history with several of their headliner picks.
To the delight of K-pop fans everywhere, Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is the first K-pop group to headline Lollapalooza. Karol G’s inclusion is also quite historic, and she’s the first female Latin artist to land a headlining spot at the iconic festival.
The full lineup features around 170 artists, including the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Rina Sawayama, Pusha T, Lil Yachty, 30 Seconds To Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, Diplo, and Maggie Rogers, Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Fred Again among others.

]]>The post Super Bowl LVI’s Halftime Show Will Be a True Celebration of Hip Hop appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>Pepsi is returning as the general sponsor of the event for the 11th time, and their VP of marketing, Todd Kaplan said they’re thrilled to bring together such an incredible array of talented, record-breaking musicians.
“Artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were at the forefront of the West Coast hip hop revolution, so to be able to bring them back to LA, where it all began alongside Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today,” said Kaplan in a statement.
Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation helped assemble this A-list line-up, and it will be serving as the strategic entertainment advisors of the live performance. Super Bowl LVI is set to take place on February 13th, 2022, at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, marking this the first time in almost three decades that the show returns to the Los Angeles area.

]]>The Philadelphia Eagles secured their second Super Bowl championship, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 and preventing them from achieving the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat. Their quarterback Jalen Hurts was the star of the night, and he won the Super Bowl MVP title after passing for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
Super Bowl halftime show is always worth the wait, and Kendrick Lamar’s performance lived up to the hype. He performed a mix of recent releases and his biggest hits, brought out several surprise guests, and had the entire stadium singing along while he took shots at Drake with the triumphant rendition of “Not Like Us”.
Super Bowl LIX was one star-studded affair, and everyone from Hollywood’s biggest stars to the president of the United States was in attendance. Taylor Swift’s appearance stirred a lot of commotion, especially after she was booed by a heavily pro-Eagles crowd while supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end.

]]>Beyoncé came into this year’s Grammy Awards with 11 nods and managed to take three trophies home, including her very first album of the year prize. Cowboy Carter also helped her make history as the first Black female artist to walk away with the best country album award at the Grammys.
Kendrick Lamar added five more Grammys to his collection after winning the coveted song and record of the year awards for “Not Like Us”. This viral hit also helped him dominate rap categories, winning best rap song and rap performance, in addition to being honored with the best music video trophy.
It was also a night to remember for Sierra Ferrell, who picked up four awards in the Americana categories. She was closely followed by Beyoncé, Charli XCX, and St. Vincent, who managed to collect three trophies each.
The 2025 Grammy Awards were held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, with Trevor Noah serving as a host for the fifth consecutive year.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Soars to the Top of the Charts With “GNX” appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>Lamar dropped GNX on November 22 with no prior notice, and a surprise factor helped him build a lot of hype for this record and top the Billboard 200 chart with 319,000 equivalent album units. This marks Lamar’s fifth album to hit No. 1 after Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022), DAMN. (2017), Untitled Unmastered (2016), and To Pimp a Butterfly (2015).
Lamar also found huge success on the Billboard Hot 100, charting all 12 songs from GNX and occupying the top five with “Squabble Up”, “TV Off” ft. Lefty Gunplay, “Luther” ft. SZA, “Wacced Out Murals”, and “Hey Now” ft. Dody6. He’s the fourth artist to achieve this feat, joining the exclusive company of Taylor Swift, Drake, and The Beatles.
“Squabble Up” is Lamar’s third song to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year, after “Like That” ft. Future and Metro Boomin and “Not Like Us”. He’s the only artist with three No. 1 hits in 2024, and the third alongside Ariana Grande and BTS to achieve three No. 1 debuts in a single year.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Announced as 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show Headliner appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>This won’t be the first time Lamar hit the Super Bowl stage. He was a part of the hip-hop celebration in 2022 with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem, and he’s planning to remind the world why “rap music is still the most impactful genre to date” at the Super Bowl LIX.
Seth Dudowsky, head of music at the NFL, announced Lamar as the next headliner and said they’re excited to join forces with Roc Nation and Apple Music to deliver another unforgettable halftime show.
“Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar. Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop,” Dudowsky said in a statement.
Kendrick Lamar kicked off 2024 with a chart-topping Future and Metro Boomin collaboration “Like That”. This song sparked his feud with Drake, which produced several hit songs, including Lamar’s latest No. 1 single “Not Like Us”.

]]>The post Kendrick Lamar Scores His Fourth No. 1 Hit With Diss Track “Not Like Us” appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>The two rappers go back a long way, but their recent feud can be traced to Future and Metro Boomin’s single “Like That”, which featured Lamar. He made several jabs at Drake in this song, and the Canadian rapper didn’t stay silent for too long, dropping his own diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle”.
They’ve been going back and forth for quite some time, giving us several more diss tracks along the way, but none of them made a bigger splash than “Not Like Us”. It’s Lamar’s fourth single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, after earning 70.9 million official streams, 5 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 15,000 copies sold in its debut week.
In addition to “Not Like Us”, this feud produced several more top-ten hits this week. Lamar’s “Euphoria” rose to No. 3 in its second week, while Drake’s “Family Matters” hit No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In addition to making sure to give us a little bit of everything, Lollapalooza organizers managed to make history with several of their headliner picks.
To the delight of K-pop fans everywhere, Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is the first K-pop group to headline Lollapalooza. Karol G’s inclusion is also quite historic, and she’s the first female Latin artist to land a headlining spot at the iconic festival.
The full lineup features around 170 artists, including the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Rina Sawayama, Pusha T, Lil Yachty, 30 Seconds To Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, Diplo, and Maggie Rogers, Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Fred Again among others.

]]>Pepsi is returning as the general sponsor of the event for the 11th time, and their VP of marketing, Todd Kaplan said they’re thrilled to bring together such an incredible array of talented, record-breaking musicians.
“Artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were at the forefront of the West Coast hip hop revolution, so to be able to bring them back to LA, where it all began alongside Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar will prove to be an epic, unforgettable celebration of the impact hip hop has today,” said Kaplan in a statement.
Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation helped assemble this A-list line-up, and it will be serving as the strategic entertainment advisors of the live performance. Super Bowl LVI is set to take place on February 13th, 2022, at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, marking this the first time in almost three decades that the show returns to the Los Angeles area.
