Kendrick Lamar Shuts Down Super Bowl Halftime Show With Electrifying Set — And A Final Blow To Drake

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Fans waited for months with bated breath for Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show — and the Compton MC surely did not disappoint. Lamar’s tune “Not Like Us” gave him the win last year in his long standing rift with Drake. “Kendrick Lamar smiling directly into the camera while mentioning Drake maybe the most diabolical thing I’ve seen maybe ever GAME OVER,” one person wrote. Another tweeted, “Kendrick Lamar performing “Not Like Us” and calling Drake a p*do in front of 100M viewers live at the Super Bowl is going down in history.” “The Superdome crowd yelling ‘A-MINORRRRR.’ Kendrick Lamar is unreal,” someone else added. While Lamar and Drake have been in a long-brewing rivalry, their quarrel gained worldwide attention last spring after the pair exchanged blows through several diss tracks, including Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and Drake’s “Family Matters.” In January, Drake filed a lawsuit claiming the label allowed Lamar to make “inflammatory and shocking allegations” against him, specifically pointing to lyrics calling Drake a “certified pedophile.” “The recording was intended to convey the specific, unmistakable, and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal pedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response,” Drake’s attorneys said.
