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.

A new civil lawsuit filed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges that the rapper raped her at a party in Encino at DJ Durel’s house. Durel, born Daryl McPherson, is a regular producer and DJ for the group who has contributed to several of their songs.

In the suit, the woman, identified in the court papers only as Jane Doe, claims that after Takeoff offered her marijuana and began a conversation, he showed interest in her which made her uncomfortable. After later running into her and Durel in a stairwell, Takeoff followed the lady into an upstairs bedroom, where he allegedly raped her, the lawsuit says. She claims that she attended the party with the impression that she was meeting Durel for a date, reports LA Times.

A friend drove her to the hospital on same day and the staff observed “physical evidence of forceful rape.” They alerted the Los Angeles Police Department and the woman even filed a complaint about the alleged assault, but reportedly, no charges have been filed in the case. The suit alleges sexual battery, assault and gender violence, among other claims.

“She’s terrified,” said Neama Rahmani, the woman’s attorney. “There’s a significant disparity in wealth and power. He’s a famous artist, he had security, there were weapons on the premises. She is someone who doesn’t have those resources and is also concerned about safety and retaliation. That adds an extra element in a case like this when he’s rich and powerful.”

“I don’t want to disparage law enforcement, but I’ve never seen a case handled like this,” Rahmani said. “It’s been a very drawn-out investigation and not much has been done. I’m hoping that after beginning discovery in this suit, other witnesses will come forward. We’re committed to supporting the criminal investigation, but the time for waiting for LAPD has passed.”

Representatives for Takeoff have not commented on the case yet.
