Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated Super Bowl 2025 halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans has left the internet in a frenzy, but not for the reasons you’d hope.
The Compton-born rapper, who took the stage before the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs showdown, delivered a polarizing performance that many are dubbing the “worst halftime show ever.” And the drama didn’t stop there—social media is ablaze with reactions, from scathing critiques to die-hard defenses.
Kicking off atop a car, Lamar, 37, ran through a medley of his chart-topping hits, but the real firestorm came when he performed his viral Drake diss track Not Like Us. Before launching into the song, he threw shade at unnamed critics, saying, “I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.” While he skipped one controversial lyric, the performance still sent shockwaves, reigniting the Kendrick-Drake feud in front of millions.
The show wasn’t without its surprises. Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson made a dramatic entrance as “Uncle Sam,” while R&B queen SZA joined Lamar for a stunning duet. Yet, even these star-studded moments couldn’t save the performance for some fans, who took to X to vent their frustration. “This is the most boring Super Bowl halftime ever,” one user wrote, while another added, “Kendrick’s energy was flat—where’s the spectacle?”
The chaos peaked when a man waving a Palestinian flag attempted to storm the stage, only to be swiftly tackled by security. Meanwhile, tennis icon Serena Williams was spotted vibing in the crowd, adding a touch of star power to the night.
Despite the backlash, Lamar’s loyal fans defended his artistic vision, praising his lyrical depth and bold choices. “Kendrick brought real hip-hop to the Super Bowl—y’all just don’t get it,” one supporter argued. Love it or hate it, Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show has undeniably sparked a cultural debate that won’t die down anytime soon.
