Kendrick Lamar Drops Fire at Drake During Super Bowl Halftime Show

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance wasn’t just a musical spectacle—it was a masterclass in subtle diss tracks aimed at none other than Drake. While Lamar didn’t perform his full diss track “Not Like Us,” he made sure to drop several fiery jabs during his set.
Before launching into the song, Lamar made a cheeky remark about legal trouble, referencing Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group with a line about how “they love to sue.” But the real shade came through in his lyrics. Lamar cleverly tweaked certain lines, carefully sidestepping direct insults but still making it clear he was aiming at Drake with phrases like “tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”
At the end of his performance, Lamar flashed the words “GAME OVER” in lights—an unmissable declaration of victory over his rival. The surprise appearances of SZA, who once dated Drake, and Serena Williams, who has a rumored past with the rapper, only added fuel to the fire.
Lamar’s performance was more than just a show—it was a bold statement that the feud with Drake is far from finished.
