SZA was "relieved" when her appearance during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show was reduced because it gave her less opportunity to mess up. During the sports extravaganza in February, the Kill Bill hitmaker took to the stage at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana to perform with her frequent collaborator Kendrick.

On the actual day of the 2025 Super Bowl, Wayne says he didn’t watch Lamar’s performance. Instead, he played pool during the set with Lil Twist, then went outside to smoke. He reflected on how the moment made him feel, coming to a conclusion that the desire to do it one day is now gone because “that feeling” was taken away from him.
