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.

Logic announced last year that he will be releasing the sequel to his Bobby Tarantino project soon and he kept the promise last week when he finally out it out. He only gave fans a day or so of notice but that was enough to set the charts on fire.

The first week sales projections for Bobby Tarantino II are now in. The Def Jam retail mixtape is expected to a massive 110-125k copies in the first week with 27-32k out of that coming from pure sales, according to HDD. This number will give the rapper a clear way to the top of the Billboard 200 chart next week.

Bobby Tarantino II features high profile guest appearances from Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa and serves as the prelude to his forthcoming fourth studio album.

Lil Yachty was the other artist having his debut week with the new album Lil Boat 2 which is on course to do a respectable 60-70k in the first week.
