Kendrick Lamar Wore a Diamond ‘A’ Minor Necklace to the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show
Kendrick Lamar wore diamonds with a deeper meaning for his Halftime performance at the 2025 Super Bowl LIX.
Kendrick Lamar stormed the stage at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans, covered in diamonds with a deep meaning. Joined by the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams, Mustard, and SZA, the rapper was surrounded by background dancers dressed in red, white, and blue, representing the American flag.
Known to embed symbolism throughout his jewelry choices, the Pulitzer Prize winner wore a substantial diamond lowercase “a” chain necklace, rendered in the same font as the logo for his production company, “pgLang.”
The “a” pendant is suspected to stand for “A-minor,” in homage to his lyrics from the chart-topping Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” The piece has likely been designed by one of Lamar’s go-to jewelers Eliantte, responsible for the custom Jesus piece he recently wore to the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Styled by Taylor McNeill, Lamar’s ensemble was filled to the brim with Easter eggs. Lamar wore bootcut jeans and a black tee, with a bespoke leather Martine Rose varsity jacket, emblazoned with “Gloria” across the front (a nod to the song on his latest album, GNX.) The performer topped off his look with a black cap, worn backwards and embellished with diamond brooches.
Lamar wore two pins from Rahaminov Diamonds, including the Marquise-Cut Diamond Angel Wing brooch clipped to the side and the Half Moon Sunset Diamond Pin on the back of his head. Not the first time the musician has sported this look, Lamar wore diamond brooches pinned to his cap to accept the the Best Rap Album award for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers at the Grammys back in 2023.
