It’s Kendrick Lamar’s world, and we’re just living in it! Just a week after winning five Grammys for “Not Like Us”, the acclaimed rapper delivered a triumphant performance at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, bringing several surprise guests on stage.
Most halftime show performances consist of a medley of the artist’s biggest hits, but Lamar opted to go down a different route. His tracklist mostly featured recent hits, including songs from his freshly released album GNX.
Lamar didn’t rely on supporting acts to make his performance pop, but he brought a few guests along. His frequent collaborator SZA joined him for “Luther” and “All the Stars”, Hollywood superstar Samuel L. Jackson made a cameo as Uncle Sam, while tennis legend Serena Williams danced in the background during “Not Like Us”.
“Not Like Us” was definitely the highlight of the night, and solidified Lamar’s victory in his beef with Drake. The entire stadium sang along, while Williams did a crip walk in the background as Lamar performed this diss track, before wrapping up the halftime show with “TV Off”.
As for the Big Game itself, it was a night to remember for the Philadelphia Eagles. They scored an epic 40-22 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 9, while Jalen Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP.
