gles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl: Potential Halftime Show Controversy Ahead
With the Super Bowl just under two weeks away, there’s more to look forward to than just the action on the field.
The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will face off in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, promising an exciting game. But with the Super Bowl comes a lot of added elements that grab attention beyond the game itself.
Super Bowl week kicks off on Monday, Feb. 3, with Super Bowl Opening Night from New Orleans, marking the start of a full week of league-wide coverage, including the always-popular Radio Row.
Beyond the game, the Super Bowl is a huge moneymaker, especially thanks to advertisements and the halftime show. Hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime performance following a standout year. One of his biggest hits of 2024, “Not Like Us,” was released amid a public feud with fellow rapper Drake, and the song’s popularity only grew from there. In fact, the song even led to a defamation lawsuit filed by Drake against Universal Music Group.
This has raised questions about whether Lamar will include the track in his halftime set, considering the ongoing lawsuit. Angelica Cheyenne of The Mirror reported that Lamar will indeed perform the diss track during his show. Cheyenne stated, “Kendrick Lamar plans to stick it to Drake during his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, where he will reportedly perform ‘Not Like Us,’ his mega-hit diss record aimed at rival rapper Drake.”
This isn’t entirely surprising, as the song has already been featured in Super Bowl promos. Given the ongoing legal drama, there could be some controversy if Lamar does perform the song. However, we won’t know for certain until the big day on Sunday, Feb. 9.
