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.

‘Lose Yourself’ was released in October of 2002 as the lead single from the soundtrack to his semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile. The song was produced by the rapper himself alongside Jeff Bass, one half of the production duo Bass Brothers, and Luis Resto. The song spent a massive 12 weeks on the number 1 spot of Billboard Hot 100 beginning Nov. 9, 2002.

The motivational ‘Lose Yourself’ which encouraged listeners to “not miss your chance,” became Hip-Hop genre’s first nomination for song of the year at the 46th Grammy Awards and also the first rap song ever to win best original song award at the 75th annual Academy Awards.

‘Love The Way You Lie’ serves as a single from Eminem’s seventh studio album Recovery released in 2010. The heartfelt song documenting a complicated love–hate relationship, was written by Skylar Grey and produced by Alex Da Kid. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and quickly became one of Eminem’s best selling singles. It was nominated for 5 GRAMMY awards but failed to win any.

With this, the Detroit superstar now has three Diamond certified singles, the third one being ‘Not Afraid’ which was already recognized since 2014.

With the new certifications, Eminem is now the second highest selling singles artist in the U.S. at 107.5 million, only behind Rihanna. The next Hip-Hop artist in the list is Drake who is almost at half (55 million). See the chart below.
