Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Show Declared ‘Worst Ever’ Amid Drake Feud!

BBG News

Fans heavily criticized Kendrick Lamar, claiming that his Super Bowl halftime performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday was the worst they had ever seen.

After his recent Grammy victories, it appeared that the 37-year-old rapper couldn’t maintain the energy from those wins during his performance at the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, this artist demonstrated his exceptional skill with words by beginning his performance atop a vehicle. He also made a subtle jab at his fellow rapper, Drake.

Regardless of Drake’s recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the questionable track “Not Like Us,” where he is labeled as a ‘certified pedophile,’ Kendrick Lamar opted to continue performing the song.

In the performance, the rapper initially took the stage accompanied by Samuel L. Jackson. He then showcased a blend of his most popular songs. Towards the latter part of the show, SZA, who is 35 years old, appeared on stage and joined him.

During half time, an individual brandishing a Palestinian flag attempted to disrupt the performance, but was prevented from doing so by security personnel. Although spectators within the stadium witnessed this incident, it was not broadcasted to the television audience.

Kendrick rocked a blue and white jacket and blue jeans and was joined by a crew of backup dancers. 

Lamar’s song Not Like Us became a viral sensation over the summer as the two artists sparred.

A Canadian rapper has taken legal action over a controversial song, claiming defamation against Universal Music Group, as the track has become the center of a court case.

In the track, Drake is referred to as a ‘certified pedophile.’

Following Lamar’s statements about blending the Los Angeles hip-hop vibe with New Orleans’ style, all the while remaining faithful to his narrative foundation, during his halftime show is what he intended to do.

He expressed on Thursday at an Apple Music press conference that living fully present and focusing solely on his feelings and current energy is what embodies the “L.A.” spirit for him.

I wanted to bring this with me to New Orleans and show it to the world. This is who I am – Kendrick Lamar, 37 years old – and I feel like I’m constantly growing, like I’m still on a path of self-discovery.

As an ardent admirer, let me tell you, when asked for a sneak peek, I proudly declared: ‘Tales unfolding is what you’ll find. Throughout my entire discography and music journey, I’ve been quite candid about storytelling. And wherever I perform, that’s the fire I always strive to fan.’

In the upcoming NFL Championship Game, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the show-stopping lineup, joining forces with musical legends such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Eminem. This electrifying collaboration in 2022 is set to reintroduce the essence of hip-hop into the heart of the game.

On Sunday, he becomes the first solo hip-hop artist to headline the halftime show.

He mentioned that it reminded him of the fundamental spirit and powerful impact of rap and hip-hop, and its limitless potential.

The cultural aspect should take center stage, rather than being reduced to mere lyrics or a popular tune. It’s a genuine artistic expression, and showcasing it on such a platform feels like the culmination of all my efforts and beliefs regarding our culture.

The prominent rap artist appeared onstage following his double Grammy win, where he was honored with both the song and record of the year accolades for his diss track titled Not Like Us.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me share my excitement about the unique Louisiana flair that graced this year’s Super Bowl pregame! The national anthem was powerfully sung by none other than Jon Batiste, while Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle brought their own magic to America the Beautiful.

Earlier reports from TMZ suggest that the details of Lamar’s upcoming halftime show could be up for discussion due to ongoing legal discussions.

‘He won’t back down,’ one of the sources told The US Sun of Lamar performing the track. 

Following the successful launch of his critically acclaimed album GNX, Lamar is preparing for a significant tour, joining forces with SZA, a fellow artist from his former label Top Dawg Entertainment. This tour, known as The Grand National Tour, commences on April 19 in Minneapolis and wraps up on June 18 in Washington, D.C.

‘I’m honored to be next to her talent,’ Lamar said of SZA.
