Who Won:

In a stunning display of skill, the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, securing a victory with a final score of 40:22 (7:0, 17:0, 10:6, 6:16). This triumph marked a significant upset against the reigning champions.

Kendrick Lamar’s Performance:

The halftime show was electrified by a performance from Kendrick Lamar, introduced by Samuel L. Jackson in an Uncle Sam costume. Amidst a backdrop of American iconography, Lamar delivered an unforgettable set, featuring hits like "Humble," "Squabble Up," and "Not Like Us," the latter of which clinched five Grammy Awards in 2025. Joining him on stage were SZA and tennis legend Serena Williams.

"Not Like Us" stirred controversy as a diss track aimed at Drake, leading to a lawsuit from Drake for alleged defamation. Social media hailed Lamar's performance as a decisive strike in their ongoing feud, culminating in a stadium-wide chant of "a minor," a reference to accusations against Drake. Serena Williams' participation added another layer to the performance, given her past relationship with Drake.
