A Pro-Palestine Protest, A Subliminal MAGA Diss, And 11 More Things I Noticed Watching Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show In Person

Good people of the internet, I am back once again to give you my full breakdown of the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. Always a blessing being able to cover these games! #SuperBowlLIX — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal For the past few years, I've been blessed with the opportunity to attend the Super Bowl. This year, Kendrick Lamar graced the world with the most political and revolutionary show the Super Bowl has ever witnessed (all during Black History Month). Before the show took place, there was a lot of talk online about how Kendrick would handle the biggest stage in America. Fans wondered if he would perform "Not Like Us." Would he include his older hits or stick with deeper, more cerebral tracks? There was also chatter about if there would be any surprise guests. I'm glad to say Kenny did not disappoint. The Compton rapper masterfully balanced his catalog, giving fans a taste of hit records while also diving into his more intellectual musings. Plus, the entire thing felt like a protest and signal for revolution, all while President Donald Trump was in attendance. Here are 13 thoughts I had while watching Kendrick perform live! Here's #KendrickLamar getting ready before killing the #HalfTimeShow at #SuperBowlLIX — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal 1. As always, the crew putting together the stage was ON POINT. They built everything in about 5 minutes. I'm always so impressed with how fast the crew sets up the stages for the #HalfTimeShow. #SuperBowlLIX #KendrickLamar — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal Every year, I am amazed at the crew's efficiency in building the Halftime Show stage. It was up and ready to go in about five minutes. These guys are the real MVPs! 2. Samuel L. Jackson as an "Uncle Tom" with Donald Trump in attendance. The President of the United States attended Super Bowl LIX, making him the first sitting president to do so. Our tax dollars at work ya'll! While Trump did announce his intention to attend the event way after Kendrick had already arranged his setlist, it still felt as if certain pieces of the show were a subliminal message to MAGA as a whole. The most prominent of these messages was legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson playing Uncle Tom. For those who may not know, the term "Uncle Tom" originated in 1852. Uncle Tom was a character in Uncle Tom's Cabin, a novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe. He is an enslaved Black man who is beaten to death for not betraying the whereabouts of other enslaved people. Although in this origin story, he was loyal to his fellow Black people, his character was also seen as subservient and happy with being enslaved in updated versions of the story. Samuel L. Jackson, as Uncle Tom, chided and goaded Kendrick with lines like "Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto. Mr. Lamar, do you really know how to play the game?" During the 2024 election season, Donald Trump found support among many Black men, and gained more of their votes than any Republican candidate in nearly a quarter century. I couldn't help but feel like Samuel L. Jackson's Uncle Tom was a direct reference to this fact. 3. A PlayStation controller or Squid Game reference? Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Kendrick's stage featured the popular shapes seen on a PlayStation controller, and it also reminded me of Squid Game. This all tied in deeply to the ongoing message throughout his performance of revolution. The double entendre was flawless, highlighting "the game" Samuel L. Jackson referred to earlier in the set. Also, the idea of the rich watching the poor suffer for their own entertainment (like in Squid Game) is a message that really hits home as the richest man in the world assumes a position of power in the current administration. Here's Kendrick performing inside the X-shaped stage, from my point of view. #KendrickLamar was in his bag performing #PEEKABOO during the #HalfTimeShow at #SuperBowlLIX — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal 4. A pro-Palestine protester raised a flag to support Gaza and Sudan, and was promptly tackled by security. A pro-Palestine protester waving a flag during the #SuperBowlLIX #HalfTimeShow — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal One of Kendrick's dancers pulled out a joint Palestine and Sudan flag in protest, another major move with President Donald Trump in the building (Trump recently stated that he would like to remove all the Palestinians from Gaza, and make it into an American property). The ongoing occupation of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government has been a polarizing topic for several decades. Kendrick's dancer pulled out the flag during the performance of "tv off." He stood on top of the GNX, waved the flag, but then hopped down and was promptly chased and tackled by security. Watching this all unfold live was astonishing. The dancer was arrested, but will not face any charges. 5. Kendrick avoided calling Drake a "pedophile" during the performance of "Not Like Us," but the crowd screamed it for him. I got to see #KendrickLamar perform #TheyNotLikeUs live at #SuperBowlLIX It was absolutely electric in the stadium, and the whole place sang "A minnooorrr" — Karlton Jahmal 🇱🇨 (@KarltonJahmal) February 10, 2025 Karlton Jahmal for BuzzFeed / Via Twitter: @KarltonJahmal As I'm sure you're all aware, Drake is currently suing his record label, UMG, for distributing and promoting "Not Like Us," claiming the lyrics are defamatory. In my humble opinion, rap beef should stay on the mic, and taking things to the courtroom only makes Drake look like a sore loser. How a man acts in defeat speaks volumes about his character, and right now, Drizzy is doing more damage to his legacy than Kendrick ever could by taking things to court. Regardless, Kendrick avoided saying "pedophile" while performing. However, you can hear the crowd scream it loud and clear as he edits himself out. Listen to the audio above! 6. Kendrick trolled Drake with a lawsuit joke before performing "Not Like Us." "I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue" - Kendrick Lamar — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) February 10, 2025 Philip Lewis / Via Twitter: @Phil_Lewis_ While we're speaking about Drake's lawsuit, Kendrick made a slick joke about the situation while teasing the performance of "Not Like Us." "I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue," he quipped. In unrelated news, Drake is on the entire other side of the world touring right now. 7. He also performed a second Drake diss song. KENDRICK LAMAR EUPHORIA 🚨LIVE AT THE #SUPERBOWL 🚨 — NFR Podcast (@nfr_podcast) February 10, 2025 NFR Podcast / Via Twitter: @nfr_podcast While "Not Like Us" is getting all the love online, Kendrick also did a portion of "euphoria," another one of his diss songs aimed at Drake. I'll say this once again... Drake flew to the other side of the entire planet to go on tour while this was airing. 8. Serena Williams, Drake's alleged ex-fling, was on stage Crip walking. LEGEND. ⭐️ @serenawilliams — On Her Turf (@OnHerTurf) February 10, 2025 Twitter: @OnHerTurf While it was never officially confirmed that Serena Williams dated Drake, it's one of those widely speculated rumors that society has accepted as fact due to lyrics and sightings. Williams, who is a Compton native and one of the greatest athletes of all time, hopped on stage to hit the C-walk during Kendrick's performance. Not only is it wild that a gang-related dance was broadcast during the biggest show on American television (another nod to Kendrick's ever-disseminated love for California culture), but it was also yet another shot at Drake. 9. Kendrick's custom fit. Kansas City Star / TNS Kendrick wore a custom red, white, and blue leather Martine Rose varsity jacket that spelled out 'Gloria,' the title of his hit song with SZA. He also rocked bootcut Celine jeans, a retro style we've seen making a comeback in the past year. Lastly, his custom "a" chain was on display. Some speculate this chain is a reference to the "a minor" line in "Not Like Us"; however, I believe it's actually a nod to his label, which stylizes a crooked lowercase "a" in the logo. But, like everything Kendrick related, it could mean more than one thing. 10. A divided America. Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Kendrick's dancers wore a mix of red, white, and blue and were arranged to represent the American flag. But this was not a sign of patriotism. Kendrick very noticeably stood in the center of the flag, causing a split down the center. This was a clear nod to the divided and polarized nature of politics in America today. 11. SZA's voice was immaculate live, but I wish she had a solo moment. Cindy Ord / Getty Images SZA joined Kendrick on stage to perform their duos "Gloria" and "All The Stars." Her vocals rocked the house, and her all-red fit perfectly coordinated and contrasted with Kendrick's outfit. Her voice sounded crisp, per usual, but I do wish he gave her a moment to perform one of her own singles like "Kill Bill." I guess I'll need tickets to their upcoming tour to see that one. THE ENTIRE STADIUM SCREAMING AS SZA STARTED SINGING ALL THE STARS. SOLANA YOU'RE UNIVERSALLY LOVED — ໊ (@dieforyous) February 10, 2025 Twitter: @dieforyous 12. The setlist was a perfect balance of hits and cerebral records. Cindy Ord / Getty Images Kendrick has walked the fine line between commercial success and street prowess for over a decade now, and this performance was a testament to his balancing act. It's hard to reach commercial fame in rap while staying true to the art of hip-hop, and he just showcased to the world why he's one of the best rappers to ever master this skill. Kendrick performed his commercial hits like "DNA," "Humble," "All The Stars," "tv off," and "Not Like Us," while also diving into deeper tracks like "man at the garden" and "luther." 13. And finally, the "Game Over" message at the end of the show was both a nod to the Drake beef and a message of revolution. The lights in the crowd during Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show read "Game Over" — The Sporting News (@sportingnews) February 10, 2025 Twitter: @sportingnews I think Kendrick is finally ready to put the nail in the coffin when it comes to the Drake beef. This performance was the knockout blow. The "Game Over" lights in the crowd symbolized as much, and I'm sure Kendrick himself is ready to move on from this battle. However, it also ties together his theme of revolution perfectly. The "game" that Samuel L. Jackson referenced earlier on, plus the PlayStation/ Squid Game reference, all point to the struggles and politics at play in America. With his closing message, Kendrick signaled that it was time for the games to end and for the people to rise up. As he said at the beginning of the performance, 'The revolution is about to be televised; You picked the right time but the wrong guy.'

Drake trends on X after Kendrick Lamar trolls him again during Super Bowl Halftime Show

While Kendrick Lamar delivered a high-energy performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, his longtime rival, Drake, was notably absent from the event, instead performing across the globe in Melbourne, Australia as part of his Anita Max Win Tour. Drake, currently on a four-show run at Rod Laver Arena, was nowhere near the Super Bowl LIX stage as Lamar commanded one of the biggest sporting events of the year. The timing of his tour, which runs in Australia until March 16, has led to speculation that the God's Plan rapper was steering clear of the ongoing media frenzy surrounding Lamar's Super Bowl performance. Fresh off his five Grammy wins, including one for his fiery diss track 'Not Like Us', Lamar kept the heat on during his Super Bowl LIX performance in New Orleans. As anticipation built throughout his set, Lamar briefly performed a snippet of 'Not Like Us', only to abruptly cut it short—leading many to believe he was hinting at potential legal consequences tied to the track's scathing lyrics about Drake. Adding to the moment, Lamar's performance included special guest appearances from SZA and tennis icon Serena Williams, making it one of the most discussed halftime shows in recent memory. Samuel L. Jackson kicked off the spectacle as the night's M.C., setting the stage for a lineup of Lamar's biggest hits, including 'Squabble Up,' 'HUMBLE.,' and 'DNA.' But it was when Lamar subtly mentioned Drake's name with a knowing smirk that the crowd erupted, sending social media into a frenzy. To close out the show, he brought out Serena Williams, a Compton native, as one of his backup dancers, further fueling speculation that his entire set contained hidden digs at Drake. While Lamar was sending subtle shots at the Super Bowl, Drake took the stage in Melbourne and left fans with a cryptic message at the end of his performance. 'My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.' The statement immediately sparked discussion, with many interpreting it as a response to Lamar's ongoing attacks. Reports also noted that Drake wore a black hoodie featuring a bullet hole pattern, possibly adding another layer to his message. As Lamar's halftime show unfolded, fans flooded X with reactions, trolling Drake over his absence and the continued dominance of 'Not Like Us' in their feud. Someone said that Drake might pop out at the Super Bowl to perform poetic justice with Kendrick and someone commented 'Yall think this is Marvel' — ☀️ (@freauxmama) 'Everybody finally realizing that Drake's career is actually over and he's not coming back from the Kendrick Lamar loss.' 'Kendrick actually said Drake's name. I'm on the floor. #SuperBowlLIX' 'Time for Drake's funeral…' Everybody finally realizing that Drakes career is actually over and he's not coming back from the Kendrick Lamar Loss — MASTER STUDENT🤲🏾 (@MUSICANDBUILDS) the fact that kdot had TWO of Drake exes perform during the Super Bowl halftime has to be one of the devilish acts done in a rap beef…ever. — Sydney Sims-Walker (@SydneyRSims) One viral post took it even further: 'THIS WAS THE CRAZIEST MOMENT I'VE EVER SEEN—SERENA DANCING ON DRAKE'S GRAVE.' THIS WAS THE CRAZIEST MOMENT IVE EVER SEEN SERENA DANCING ON DRAKES GRAVE — SiinWop (@siinwop) Drake when he saw Serena Williams dancing to Not Like Us at the Super Bowl — BB (@BBLottos) Lamar's Grammy win for 'Not Like Us' has only intensified the narrative surrounding the feud. While accepting his award, Lamar delivered an emotional speech, dedicating his success to Los Angeles and the communities that shaped him. 'This is my neck of the woods that held me down since a young pup … since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps … I can't give enough thanks to these places I rolled around since high school. Most importantly, the people and families out in the Palisades and Altadena. This is a true test that we are going to continue to restore this city.' Drake and Lamar's rivalry dates back to 2013, when Lamar first took shots at the Toronto rapper on Big Sean's 'Control'. The feud reignited in 2024, culminating in a string of diss tracks, including Lamar's Grammy-winning 'Not Like Us', which featured aggressive accusations and bold claims aimed directly at Drake.
