Football fans new to Kendrick Lamar were unaware that they were watching Sunday night at the Caesars Superdome at Super Bowl LIX.
Perhaps he never had a halftime show. Sports fans who are not interested in rap would have been very overwhelmed by Lamar’s performance and would have hoped that other artists would appear and perform familiar ones. However, Lamar fans watched history unfold in front of their eyes. The halftime show couldn’t entertain the public, but it was a decisive moment in the rap game, with Lamar using the sports arena for his own personal gain. The rapper did a distrack aimed at Drake, setting fire to his arch enemy despite facing an honor-defacing lawsuit against the lyrical accusations of his fellow star.

Essentially, the diss war between rappers took over the Super Bowl halftime show with a personal political exhibit unfolding in front of unsuspecting sports fans.
This halftime is the best thing to happen to Kendrick Lamar and the worst thing that happens to someone who has to explain to their parents what’s going on right now. #superbowl

With a bold sweep, Lamar ruled his best rule by performing Billboard’s Hot 100 chart topping hit single “Not Like Us” while wiping the floor with Drake’s reputation.
He dared to perform live Diss Track Live, an unlikely forum for such conflicts, at the biggest moment in American sports so far this year.

For those new to the track, the song accuses Drake of being a pedophile and clever language like “I like to make sure you’re young and don’t go to Cellblock 1.” is using. In another poem, Lamar mentions “Why do you trollin like a bitch? Are you tired? Tryna hits a chord and is probably A-Minor,” referring to a minor woman.
Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam, anthropomorphized American, telling Kendrick that his performance was “too ghetto”, and then Kendrick’s all-black backup dancer was arranged as an American flag. Did you sort it out while you were there while the guy was in attendance? Kendrick I wasn’t familiar with your game

Those who are aware of the feud among men know that Lamar’s single cover art features an edited aerial view of Drake’s Toronto Estate, highlighting the homes of convicted criminals It’s there.
Lamar fans took Drake’s ex-girlfriend Serena Williams to the stage to paint Drake’s image into the wild age, and after dating an athlete and a short time athlete in 2011, she became obsessed with her. Knowing that there was, I engraved the savage image. His war against Drake.
it’s over. Don’t beef with Kendrick

The rapper’s halftime show intentionally included Samuel L. Jackson. Samuel L. Jackson appeared as “Uncle Sam” and took part in the party’s heavy American theme by talking about his performance.
Fans and music critics previously filed an honor loss lawsuit against Universal Music Group to prevent the performance from preventing Lamar from ‘accusing of damage and honour loss’ in the release of ‘Not like us’ He agreed to solidify Lamar’s victory in a feud against Drake.

But the failure of the performance was to entertain the public. (Related: Taylor Swift booed mercilessly in the Super Bowl)
Those who were unaware or indifferent to the rap feud were confused by what they were seeing and were largely disappointed by the halftime show.
