Witness the Super Bowl crowd erupt as Kendrick Lamar delivers an unforgettable line from his track ‘Not Like Us.’
In a groundbreaking moment for Hip-Hop, Kendrick Lamar has officially put his rivalry with Aubrey “Drake” Graham to rest.
During his halftime performance at the Super Bowl, Lamar not only showcased his talent but also solidified his status as the victor in this long-standing feud. Having recently swept the Grammy awards, taking home five trophies, his performance further emphasized his dominance in the music scene.
Despite concerns about whether Lamar would perform his iconic hit due to Drake’s ongoing legal battles with his label UMG, Lamar and the NFL made it clear they were unfazed by any litigation.

Lamar’s performance of ‘Not Like Us’ was everything fans hoped for, excluding perhaps Drake and his most dedicated supporters. A surprise appearance by Samuel L. Jackson added an unexpected yet delightful twist, serving as the “special surprise guest” that had been hinted at. SZA’s contribution was equally impressive, leaving the audience wanting more of her enchanting vocals.
However, the main event was watching Kendrick assert his dominance on a global stage.

Viewers were not mistaken when they heard the stadium erupt with fans chanting “A MINORRRRRRR!” in unison. This came after Kendrick directly addressed the camera, playfully stating, “Say Drake, I hear you like em young,” to the global audience.
This moment was as impressive as it was audacious. While diss tracks have captivated rap audiences for decades, this was a unique spectacle of an entire NFL stadium reveling in the lyrical prowess of one artist while simultaneously witnessing the metaphorical downfall of another.
Kendrick Lamar has captivated audiences throughout his career, but his Super Bowl halftime performance further established him as one of the most influential and consistent artists of his generation, proving once again that he is a master of lyrical execution.
