Death, taxes & Pusha T trolling Drake are three things you can always count on.

Folks are still reacting to Kendrick Lamar announcing that he’s headlining the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans in February. However, Pusha T reacted to something else after Sunday’s big news.
While telling the world that he’ll be performing in the NFL’s “Big Game,” Lamar said something that resonated with the Virginia rapper. “You know there’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round twos,” Kendrick said while using a football throwing machine. An obvious dig at Drake suggesting a few weeks back that another round in their battle was on the horizon, Push agreed by reposting the quote on his Instagram Story and adding, “This is true” with a shrug emoji.

Like Kendrick, Pusha T had a long history of trading subliminals with Drake until things boiled over with “The Story of Adidon” in 2018, and like Kendrick, Push was declared the victor in that battle by the fans.
As fans and artists argue about whether Lamar was the right choice to headline the halftime show, he and Jay-Z are looking forward to the February performance. “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one,” with Jay adding, “Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer. His deep love for Hip Hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”
