In his quest to snag the crown as the GOAT rapper, Kendrick Lamar has unknowingly taken his star power on an all-inclusive ride to the top. He now has the critics bowing down and even the haters doing double-takes. But the cherry on top? His Super Bowl halftime show had those same haters raising their eyebrows. However, eyebrows do not measure talent; skills do. And just when fans thought the Super Bowl was the big headline, K-Dot stirred up the rumor mill with whispers of a major stadium tour coming soon.

Word on the street is that Lamar actually skipped out on another gig just to make it happen.

According to a fresh report from Bloomberg, Coachella mastermind Paul Tollett, who launched the iconic festival in 1999, has been on the hunt for A-list headliners to lock in for next year. Tollett had his sights set on none other than Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna to bring the star power and guarantee a sold-out crowd, especially after the post-pandemic dip. However, sources say both superstars took a pass because K-Dot plans “a tour of major stadiums” after the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, Rihanna apparently waved off the offer, saying she did not need the cash or the spotlight, especially while thriving in her booming business empire. As for Lamar, he is no stranger to Coachella, having rocked the main stage in 2012 and headlined in 2017. But this time, Tollett had more than just nostalgia in mind. K-Dot’s high-profile rap showdown with Drake has kept him front and center in the music world, making him the most buzzed-about rapper in town.

Aside from skipping Coachella to focus on the tour, though, the details are hush-hush. But these are not the only arenas K-Dot has been dipping his toes since he is also flexing his acting muscles like a one-man army, showing he has the range for days.

According to last week's scoop from Culture Crave, Kendrick Lamar and the South Park masterminds, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are knee-deep in filming their upcoming comedy. The post teased a sneak peek of a swanky set in Pomona, California, where filming's been rolling. The plot follows a Black guy working as a slave reenactor at a history museum, only to discover that his white girlfriend's ancestors owned his family. 

As per earlier reports, the new live-action comedy will drop on July 4, 2025. Paramount Pictures is handling distribution, with the big announcement made at CinemaCon during Paramount's flashy presentation of upcoming projects. The story, written by Vernon Chatman, has some serious star power behind it with Parker, Stone, Lamar, and his PGLang partner Dave Free stepping up as producers.
