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, real name Daniel Hernandez, is set to be sentenced next Wednesday in New York for drugs and racketeering charges where he is facing up to 47 years. He told Judge Paul Engelmayer that he was ‘becoming more and more overwhelmed’ as the date approached. “I find it difficult to find the right words to express what my life has been like for the last year,” the rapper said in his letter to the court, a copy of which can be found below courtesy TMZ. “It honestly feels like my world is crashing down.”

Tekashi and his lawyers are arguing in the case that the “FEFE” hitmaker should be given a light sentence since he cooperated with the authorities against his former Nine Trey Bloods associates. The Hip-Hop community has since ridiculed the rapper as a “snitch.”

“I’m sorry to the victims who were affected by my actions, to my fans who look up to me and were misled, to my family who depends on me and to this courtroom for this mess that I contributed to.. I’m truly sorry for the harm that I’ve caused. If given a second chance, I will not let this Court down and I will dedicate a portion of my life to helping others not make the same mistakes that I’ve made,” he further states in the letter.

Tekashi says that while in jail, he has been reflecting on his actions which led to this mess. ““There is no excuse, no justification and no apology good enough in this world to explain my crimes,” Hernandez also wrote. “While I have been incarcerated, I have had time to reflect on the recklessness and foolishness of my decisions. I wake up every morning asking myself was it worth it?”

Previously, Tekashi told the court that he will not accept witness protection as he plans to hire personal security to protect him instead.
