New Orleans, USA – Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl stage by storm, thrilling fans with a high-energy set that included his Grammy-winning diss track “Not Like Us.”
Performing at the Superdome in New Orleans, Lamar was introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam. The spectacle featured dancers in red, white, and blue, emerging from a Buick Grand National GNX, a nod to Lamar’s latest album, “GNX.”
The 37-year-old rapper powered through hits like “Squabble Up” and “DNA” before teasing the audience about “Not Like Us.” Initially, he switched to a duet of “Luther” with SZA, fueling speculation that he might avoid the controversial track.
However, Lamar ultimately delivered “Not Like Us”, omitting the word “pedophiles”—a line tied to his feud with Drake—instead replacing it with a scream. The crowd erupted as they sang along to the “A minor” lyric, a reference that has fueled debate online.
The performance followed Lamar’s dominant night at the Grammys, where he won five awards, bringing his career total to 22. His Super Bowl moment adds him to a legendary lineup of halftime performers, including Beyoncé, Prince, Madonna, and the Rolling Stones.
