Kendrick Lamar headlined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show in New Orleans, delivering a performance featuring hits, including his controversial diss track “Not Like Us” aimed at Drake. The performance opened with Samuel L. Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam, narrating the introduction. Tennis legend Serena Williams, Drake’s former partner, made a notable appearance, performing a dance tied to Compton culture.

The long-standing feud between Lamar and Drake, sparked by competing releases, was seen as a victory for Lamar, with “Not Like Us” dominating the Billboard charts and earning multiple Grammy Awards. Lamar subtly referenced the feud and teased the diss track throughout the halftime show.

The performance received mixed reviews, with fans praising the camerawork and creative elements, while others felt it lacked mass appeal. Lamar is set to begin his Grand National Tour with SZA in April, with two performances planned in Toronto. Meanwhile, Drake continues his Oceania tour and is set to release a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor titled Some Sexy Songs 4 U on February 14.
