Kendrick's superbowl swipes
The superstar rapper, 37, wowed fans when he took to the stage at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for the game's famous halftime show - and he used it as an opportunity to slam his rival.
The rapper was chosen to perform on the world’s biggest stage, which was watched by 120 million fans at home.
He used the opportunity to let off some steam, with his rival Drake, 38, certainly feeling the heat.
The pair - who were originally friends - have been feuding since last year when the rappers started trading jabs in their songs.
What can you expect from the tour?
Although there is no information about the setlist yet, some fans have speculated which songs could make appearance on the tour.
Kendrick Lamar’s sixth studio album GNX was released November last year which means fans will be expecting to hear the new songs live for the first time.
SZA was featured on the album twice – on tracks named Gloria and Luther.
The artists have also collaborated on songs including All the Stars and Doves in the Wind.
SZA has also recently released a deluxe version of her commercially successful album SOS.
The reissued SOS Deluxe: LANA featured a guest appearance by Kendrick on track called 30 for 30.
