Kendrick Lamar Performs “Not Like Us,” Has Serena Williams Crip Walk at Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show

Welp, he really did it.

Taking the stage at Caesars Superdome during halftime for Super Bowl LIX, Kendrick Lamar put on a predictably electric performance. The highlight, of course, unfolded when he performed his epic Drake diss, “Not Like Us.” On a somewhat unexpected note, he didn’t really hold back on any of the Drake shots.

Before performing the track, Kendrick teased it with a snarky quip: “I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.” If you recall, Drake filed a lawsuit against UMG earlier this year, accusing the label, one he’s been signed to in some way shape or form for over a decade, was using bots to increase streams for “Not Like Us,” a track that calls Drake a pedophile.

With this in mind, there was plenty of speculation about whether Kendrick would perform the track at the Super Bowl. He did, and, notably, he didn’t censor himself much at all, rapping his famous, “A-minor” lyric in its totality. In another big surprise, he had Serena Williams pull up to Crip Walk onstage during the performance. If you’ve been following Drake for a while, you know they used to date, and Drake used a song on his and 21 Savage’s joint album, Her Loss, to come at her husband.

The trolling didn’t stop there, either. Fans were also quick to note the lowercase A chain he was wearing onstage, linking it to his “A-minor” line he directed at Drizzy.

Elsewhere in the performance, Kendrick performed “Euphoria,” “Peakaboo,” “Loyalty,” “DNA” and more.
