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.

Fans know Abhi from his debut LP Marbled released via the legendary Tommy Boy Entertainment (Ghostface Killah, Method Man) where he showcased various talents like playing different instruments, singing and rapping. But on ‘RUN’, his energy is that of a spitter trying to prove a point. The song was released in celebration of him finally securing a “Alien of Extraordinary Ability” visa from the U.S. Government, marking an end to a long struggle to gain residence on not just student visas.

I just made some nice crispy salmon, and I'm also going on tour soon.

The song and music video, which you can watch below, is dedicated to his hometown of Chennai (Madras), India and has the talented artist performing on backdrop of convenience stores, cricket fields & more. “I wanted to shed a light on my heritage and its place in hip-hop by attaching myself to classically Indian stereotypes and juxtaposing it with me rapping. By placing me in a 7/11 and cricket gear (of my hometown team, the Chennai Super Kings), the skewed opposite off me rapping would call attention to the disparity of Indians in hip hop,” said Abhi.
