Kendrick Lamar put on a Super Bowl halftime show for the ages as he became the first solo rapper to headline the event — and he aimed a few more jabs at Drake throughout.
During his breathtaking 15-minute performance at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday night (February 9), Kendrick repeatedly referenced his bitter feud with the 6 God before eventually performing his chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us.”
Roughly halfway through his set, the Compton rap star taunted his archrival by saying in a back-and-forth with female backup dancers: “I want to perform their favorite song… but you know they love to sue,” a clear nod to Drake’s controversial defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over “Not Like Us.”
During the actual performance of the track — the penultimate song in his set — Kendrick self-censored the “certified pedophile” line but smirked to the camera as he said: “Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any [bitch] that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him.”
He also performed the lyrics: “Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor,” with enthusiastic help from the capacity crowd.
The halftime show also included a surprise cameo from Drake’s ex-girlfriend and Compton native Serena Williams, who could be seen Crip Walking on an elevated stage as “Not Like Us” transitioned into the closing track, “TV Off.”
Another apparent dig at Drake came at the very end when the crowd lit up to display the words “Game Over,” which continued the video game theme of the performance.
Some fans also speculated that Kendrick’s chain, which featued a lower case “a” pendant, was a nod to his “A minor” line from “Not Like Us,” but it’s also the logo of his creative company pgLang.
The TV audience for the game likely exceeded 120 million viewers, who tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs get demolished by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in an upset result.
In addition to Serena Williams, Kendrick Lamar was joined during his Super Bowl halftime show by SZA, who helped him perform “All the Stars” and “Luther,” as well as Samuel L. Jackson who narrated the theatrical performance wearing an Uncle Sam outfit.
Mustard also popped up during the climactic performance of “TV Off.”
Drake, who is currently on tour several thousand miles away in Australia, has yet to comment on the performance.
Only thing that pussy ass performance is electrifying is Kendicks gay ass Stan’s asses😂😂😂…and Drake is a f@GG!T💯
They’re on full cope right now show was trash he doesn’t connect with people outside his little bubble of wannabe fake hood people with his theater kid antics.
Complaining and commenting to yourself again. What a loser
@great Grey Iis gayest of all time: nah dude, you’re the gayest of all time. You bring up Greg 24/7, dozens of times a day. You’re not only gay, but mentally ill and obsessed with a man in an online comment section. You comment under like 10 different names.
Why are you so defensive of gay greg? Also why are you liking your own comments. Sounds more like you’re so gay that you’re riding your own dick.⏸️
Greg’s Boyfriend Gay Jay with a slippy fist to help Gay Greg out 🤣
that fucking buick…………………..
That was the WOAT halftime show I’ve ever seen aside from the old white rockers who were like 90. Seriously, what the fuck was that?
STFU. Who would you like to see perform at half time then.
“Stfu”, I’ll never understand why people get upset that someone doesn’t like a show that you like. Who cares? It did suck.
Again, STFU. The only people who hated the show are either simp, gays, bitches, and people who don’t understand the culture.
You think that was good? I didn’t care who performed. But objectively, that was the worst performance put on since the days when they did marching bands and shit. But I forgot, you dickheads in this generation lead with who would you like to see instead of damn, they rocked that shit, and I was entertained. Case in point, I’ve never fucked with shit Bruno Mars ever did, but he did the damn thing when he performed. The one with Janet’s titty coming out. Prince goes without saying, the GOAT. J-Lo and Shakira got up there and shook their ass when they did theirs. Usher rocked the shit out of Vegas last year. Name one halftime show not named some old white rockers this was better than, and don’t bring me this is who I wanted to see like a groupie bitch.
The culture I’ve been involved in since 1982. You might want to sit this one out champ. I smell Mayonaise sandwiches. That shit was fucking terrible.
This was bad the crowd was mostly quiet then mixed for not like us. His career might be done. I know Kendrick has numerous songs the people who watch this stuff are calling him a one hit wonder. It should have been Lil Wayne not him but his bandwagon online meme fandom won’t realize that. He’s going to have a Diddy downfall yall think Ye is talking crazy watch it happen they build him up with this to tear him down they treated Diddy great for years then thre him under the bus. JayZ guilty too and Drake I don’t like but he’s part of that tribe they don’t sue empty he has cases.
Lil wayne i agree he got to build tha carter v
VI but it would make no sense for him to do it any other year he was robbed. Next 2 years are California then Atlanta. The NFL needs to end the relationship with Roc Nation then again Jay-Z is next to go down with Diddy. This was Wayne’s year but the Kendrick stans and suburban blacks don’t want to see it. NOLA is Wheezy knowing him he would have had all of NOLA on stage maybe even marching bands instead we got Erykah Badu’s show.
Wayne was robbed this was his only chance he’ll never get it again New Orleans was robbed too instead of our own we get this california fruity trash only song that got attention was the meme song in the arena
The crowd was loud af, especially when he performed Not Like Us. It must suck to have to lie to yourself over your love of the Certified Loverboy
What show were you listening to? That was the first thing I noticed was how bad the audio sound was. It just was not good. I know some of you are lying to kick it because your sole existence is about shitting on Drake, but some of us don’t give a fuck about that corny shit and just wanted to see some tight shit up there. Like he was part of that G-Funk show just a couple of years ago, so he knew better and should have put on a better show. Seriously, what the fuck was that shit? It went about as bad for him as it went for the Chiefs last night, lol.
@Loud_Pack I was watching the Halftime Show without Drake’s nuts in my mouth, unlike you . And stop typing essays on here about your love of the Loverboy, nobody cares.
I’m a Drake fan? You sure about that, champ? You might want to check who you’re talking to before jumping out the window like a groupie bitch to defend this terrible shit because you look up to this dude.
He’s just a rapper. Somebody got somebody’s dick in their mouth, but it ain’t me. Name the halftime shows this was better than. Go.
@Loud_Pack Did you not hear the entire stadium sing along to the “probably a minor” line? If not, get your ears cleaned out by a professional. Millions of people clowned Drake last night. Carry on with your essays about the Loverboy
No, I didn’t. You barely could hear the shit, which is one of the reasons it was terrible, but you’re such a groupie, you can’t even be like damn, whoever did the sound fucked this show up.
Kendrick is a fraud he allowed a Pro-Palestine protestor to be removed from the stage and he’s signed to zionists he even went to this and the Grammys both their shows. He’s so fake and married a mix race girl promoting gentrification and that thing with SZA is weird like is she his other woman? Jay Z is a monster too but he sided with him and Beyonce. Rumors already she’s performing again next year.
There’s also rumors that you need to touch grass and get a life

Hi it’s me again. I’m going to continue to smear and put smut on Bendrick’s name cuz Drake isn’t a pedophile. He likes grown men like me.
Yeah give Drake more ammo for his lawsuits stupid you’re going to be living in that grand national. Whitney is going to come forward about him abusing her when it’s of use to her. Drake wasn’t wrong Kendrick was signed to Top and Dr. Dre two abusers and he made Drakes ex his side piece Kenny Drake paid for SZA’s current look those notes he made her hit that.
Call the cops when u see k dot
Lawsuits dropped when I hear K Dot
Next year it’s going to be Kendrick again, Beyonce, or Doechii.
All the male groupies in there fighting for their man is hilarious. Lol
Drake is gay and you OvHoes are emotional feral dick riding pedophiles who deserve the scorn that they’ve been receiving.
Kendrick got the entire audience to call drake a pedo 😂
Entire audience is a stretch. 25% of the people there at most knew that song.
Nah, they erupted at that part, no matter how much drake fans deny it. It’s ok, the entire world laughed at drake last night, not just in the stadium. 70 year old housewives who don’t listen to rap now know that drake likes them young 😂
2 of his exes were on stage. Serena is 5 years older than Drake, does she like them young too? Sza was also not young when he dated her. Kendrick failed to see this makes his claims look bad
This is officially the Glazing Drizzy Glizzy Lovers site now. Too many 🌈🏳️🌈👬👨❤️👨 on here. Site sucks now.
In fairness, it’s like three people who just use different usernames
All these OvHoes are certified homoboys and certified pedophiles. That’s why they’re so butt hurt and defending Drake so much. I’m not a fan of Kendrick Lamar either but you damn Drake groupies are just lame AF.
I couldn’t imagine being a fan of someone who calls himself a Certified Loverboy and who sues rappers that he can’t beat. His music is geared toward females yet I see grown men trying to defend him. Gay Greg’s life revolves around defending him. Soft ass fans
Drake fans are having a therapy session in the comment section
My fellow f8ggots. We must take a stand against the injustice of Drake being mistreated. He’s a musical God and deserves to be praised. Y’all better keep Drake and my dick out your mouth or I’ll put my dick in yours.
I’ve been a hip hop fan since 1965. Where’s all the real MC’s out there? Back in my day, me and the boys would rock out to real rappers. The only guys I have respect for today are real lyricist like Saucy Santana who stay true to themselves
Did Serena forget that she’s married and has kids with a white man? In her 40’s crip walking…. after the crips murdered her older sister!
You could feel the relief when Sza popped up. It was so boring. Doechii could have saved the day
A pro sports show, and he uses it to make fun of a grown man? So childish. And on top of that the music is pretty bad…
Forgot to mention right after the performance the lights went out and only the words “game over” were lit up
While kendrick is out there tearing another black man down to support trump’s anticanada policy, drake is uplifting the black Australian community by giving away money at concerts
Drake looks gay. Why hasn’t this man revealed his real sexuality yet?
Drake’s gay azz prolly wanted to give Kendrick a bj. That’s how the beef started.
