Kendrick Lamar plays 'Not Like Us' during Super Bowl Halftime Show
After months of speculation, Kendrick Lamar delivered, performing his Grammy-winning track "Not Like Us" to the absolute delight of the New Orleans crowd at Super Bowl LIX.
He also wasn't afraid to use a line that attacked Drake, and the Superdome crowd sang along.

For context, "Not Like Us" was the final blow in a months-long war between Kendrick and Drake, a feud that culminated in Kendrick accusing Drake of hiding a second child and being a child predator. High-energy, relentless, and catchy as hell, it doubled down on Kendrick’s allegations while turning them into an anthem.
Explosive, pointed, and direct, "Not Like Us" didn’t just dominate the culture — it cleaned up at the Grammys, taking home five awards. And now, the Compton-rapper has played it at the Super Bowl.
