Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

You’re back on the road. What do you have in store this time around?
I’m excited about it. I went through my material. Of course, I want to perform some of the new stuff, but I want to make sure I also hit music that they’re already familiar with at the same time. It’s creating a balance for me. I gotta absolutely change my setlist for the U.S. because they’re so current that I can perform things that they haven’t heard before and they’ll understand the vibe of the music and follow me with no problem. Meanwhile, when I’m touring [outside the U.S.] where the music is breaking a language barrier in different territories, it’s difficult for people to follow what my choices are.
Are you planning to do any material from the next album?
I may. I still have a few songs that I wanted to finish up before I start introducing music. I don’t mind using some of my newest material ’cause I feel like it’s the hottest thing that I’ve done. I actually don’t release music if I don’t feel like it means something. I have music at home that I feel is personal that will only stay on my iPod and in my headphones. I don’t feel like everyone else would understand artistically why I chose to write those things. I just keep it to myself.

Let’s hope he debuts at least a couple so we get a taste of what to expect. Get the full tour dates here.
