Kendrick Lamar just played a legendary show at the Caesars Superdome, folks. Following Samuel L Jackson introducing the Super Bowl halftime show as "Uncle Sam," Lamar ran through a medley of his greatest hits, including "Humble," "All the Stars," and "Not Like Us." SZA joined him for a duet, the choreography was brilliant, and Lamar even mentioned Drake's name while smirking for the camera.
Lamar's victory lap of a halftime show also featured his producer, DJ Mustard, as well as tennis superstar Serena Williams. From what I can see on social media, fans loved every minute of the Compton rapper's performance. Even if you don’t have any animosity toward Drake, you can’t deny the spectacle a whole stadium screaming, “A MINOOOOOOR!”
It's been a tough month for Drake following Lamar's five wins at the Grammy Awards last weekend. The Canadian hip-hop titan was photographed wearing one insane outfit choice after another. He even wore a hoodie with bullet holes at his most recent concert in Australia—presumably, just to prove that he was “still alive” throughout it all.
Meanwhile, Lamar swept the rap category at the Grammys. He also won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The whole Grammy Awards audience in Los Angeles—a room full of Drake’s peers, mind you—sang and danced along to Lamar’s hit diss track. After this? Someone, please check on Drake and make sure he’s okay.
(Editor's note: we wanted to embed the performance but the NFL is being a real dick stickler about IP. Feel free to check it out on YouTube via here.)
