Here are some of the reactions to Kendrick Lamar’s jaw-dropping 2025 Super Bowl halftime performance in New Orleans.
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime performance at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans has sparked a lot of reactions from fans and critics alike.
The show was marked by bold artistic choices and surprise guest appearances, making it one of the most talked-about halftime shows in recent memory.
Kendrick Lamar’s setlist featured a mix of his chart-topping hits and newer material, with a notable performance of his controversial track “Not Like Us,” widely interpreted as a diss track aimed at fellow rapper Drake.
The performance was further intensified by the surprise appearance of tennis legend Serena Williams, who has past associations with Drake. Serena Williams was seen dancing to the controversial song, “Not Like Us”.
The show also included guest appearances by SZA, who joined Lamar for their hit “All the Stars,” and actor Samuel L. Jackson, who introduced the performance dressed as “Uncle Sam,” adding a theatrical flair to the event.
Fan reactions have been deeply divided. Some viewers praised Lamar for his unapologetic artistry and willingness to address personal and societal issues on such a grand stage. See some of their reactions:
Kendrick’s smirk was the ultimate mic drop—when he glanced at the camera after roasting Drake, it was like he was saying “game over” without uttering a word. Absolute fire! #SuperBowl
