Ben Stiller, the actor and director, has shown his support for Kendrick Lamar after the rapper was announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in 2025.
In response to the news, Stiller shared a simple “Yes” on his official X account, expressing his excitement about the announcement.
When a fan asked him about his favorite Kendrick Lamar song, Stiller gave a straightforward reply, naming "Euphoria."

The track was Lamar’s first response to Drake’s diss tracks, "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made," released in April earlier this year. This acknowledgment marks the first time Stiller has publicly expressed his admiration for Lamar’s music.
Stiller's affinity for rap is not new, as he has previously demonstrated his love for the Beastie Boys during a trivia game on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2015.
Although the actor has not openly declared a side in the ongoing rap feud between Lamar and Drake, it’s worth noting that Stiller and Drake were seen together at a 2013 New York Knicks game.
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime performance is set for February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
However, the announcement has sparked some debate, with several hip-hop figures, including Nicki Minaj, Birdman, and Master P, voicing their opinions that Lil Wayne, a New Orleans native, should have been chosen to perform.
