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.

Jetsiderell

Jetsiderell is singing the songs only the Philly streets can hear. On his single, “Drive You Crazy,” the 15-year-old rapper-singer’s voice is enriched in auto-tune. Running under 4 minutes, the Philly-native croons on the lifestyle difficulties of maneuvering the trenches. Jetsiderell draws inspiration from Travis Scott, Drake, and Lil Wayne. People change, and even with money, he won’t. His music is rooted in loyalty, a concept that’s longed for, yet such a reach away. Check out his latest track below:

Wolf Bvndit

Going into “Taino Cowboy,” the latest single from Wolf Bvndit, yields unexpected results. The Country-Esque guitar creeps in the opening seconds, and then it happens. His grizzly vocals that are a step away from becoming a growl dominate the following 2 minutes. His presence screams, “Attention!” as he carries himself as an impenetrable fortress, wishing enemies to take their shot. His voice sounds like the sound child of Future and Pop Smoke: baroque vocals that can be fine-tuned as an instrument in itself. Wolf has one of the most unique flows yet, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t hit that play button. Peep the single below:
