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.

This past New Music Friday was a pretty busy one with French Montana and Megan Thee Stallion returning with new ingles amongst other artists releasing new singles.

The biggest projects that dropped were of course Polo G’s new album Hall Of Fame and Migos’ CULTURE 3. Today we have some idea of what numbers they could do first week. Polo’s album, which features Nicki Minaj, Pop Smoke, DaBaby, Roddy Ricch and more, is projected to move 165-175k copies in the first week with about 4-7k out of those coming from pure sales. This will give the Chicago rapper his first number 1 on the chart.

Polo G was arrested on Saturday morning on multiple charges in Miami.

Migos’ third in the CULTURE trilogy is currently on pace to move 125-135k copies in the first week with about 5-8k coming from pure sales. They are expected to debut at #2 behind Polo G at the moment. Both CULTURE 1 and 2 debuted at the number 1 spot in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Maroon 5’s new album JORDI, which features posthumous features from Nipsey Hussle and Juice WRLD, is on track to move 29-33k copies in the first 7 days.
