First, the bad news: Despite performing at Coachella festival multiple times in the past, Kendrick turned down the festival's organizers when they pitched him on headlining in 2025. That's understandable, as planning a Super Bowl show probably takes at least as much work as a Coachella one, and doing both would stretch anyone too thin. But, the silver lining is that he is also reportedly working on a "tour of major stadiums." If this turns out to be true, it'd make Kendrick the first rapper ever to headline a solo stadium tour in history.
Past rap-centric stadium tours have paired some of the top names in hip-hop with pop counterparts on co-headlining tours -- ex. Beyoncé with Jay-Z or Rihanna with Eminem -- but according to Billboard, no rapper has embarked on a major stadium tour on their own, aside from one-off concerts. This means, if Kendrick really does do so in 2025, he'll have made history yet again, after being the first rapper to win a Pulitzer Prize (he's also the first to solo headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show).
