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.

Performing the track often at live performances with a call and response hook inciting crowds to yell ‘Shut Up’, Jessie has been checking fans’ energy (and patience) for a while now. Written with the idea of looking back on all the time wasted crying for men that have been beneath her (as she mentions in an Instagram post), the track is about Jessie feeling herself as a music icon — one who has her phone full of options, and bank full of bills.

Big Sean too, comes in guns blazing, slick talking with a persona we’re all too familiar with. After all, who better to go bar for bar on a track with other than the man who gave us ‘I Don’t Fuck with You’? Having his earlier single this year overcast by Kendrick-Drake controversy (the latter being a rapper often accused of stealing Sean’s flow), ‘Shut Up’ has finally given Sean the time to shine bright before the release of his album this year.

With him taking a seemingly more introspective approach on the upcoming album, ‘Shut Up’ has given us the chance to embrace the rapper’s suave persona once more.
