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.

The rapper-producer still hasn’t dropped his Jesus is King album despite several hints from his camp (including Kim Kardashian) about possible release dates and album listening sessions in places like Detroit, Chicago and New York. The original release date was Sept. 27. His YANDHI album from last year is either scrapped for good or just put aside for now in favor of the Church-inspired LP.

However, it looks like ‘Ye is determined to continue working on new music. On Wednesday, he was seen taking producer friend Swizz Beatz on an adventure trip in Wyoming in an all terrain truck to head to the studio to record new tunes. In the clip below (originally posted by Abou “Bu” Thiam), you can see the duo go through uneven terrain and even a water body, making Swizz both surprised and anxious.

The studio session is muted so one can’t hear what they are working on but Bu mentioned “album” in his Instagram stories so it’s either Jesus is King or YANDHI that is being further constructed. Earlier this week, several songs from the YANDHI sessions were uploaded by a user on streaming services like Spotify and TIDAL.
