Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance wasn’t simply a musical spectacle—it was a masterclass in subtle insult tracks aimed at none other than Drake.
While Lamar didn’t execute his good insult running “Not Like Us,” he made trusted to unload several igneous jabs during his set.
Before launching into the strain, Lamar made a cheeky remark virtually so legal ail, referencing Drake’s obloquy case against Universal Music Group with a line around how “they love to sue.”
But the extremely real tincture came through in his lyrics. Lamar smartly tweaked sure lines, carefully sidestepping unmediated insults but still making it clear he was aiming at Drake with phrases similar “tryna scratch a chord and it’s likely A minor.”
At the end of his execution, Lamar flashed the words “GAME OVER” in lights—an unmissable declaration of triumph over his rival. The surprisal appearances of SZA, who erst dated Drake, and Serena Williams, who has a rumored yesteryear with the rapper, only added fuel to the fire.
Lamar’s execution was more than just a show—it was a bold statement that the feud with Drake is really far from ruined.
