Kendrick Lamar promised he’d tell some stories and performed the song everyone has been talking about during the Super Bowl halftime show. Actor Samuel L. Jackson opened up the performance dressed in an Uncle Sam ensemble before Lamar went into performing his hits, including “Squabble Up,” “Humble,” “DNA” and “Peakaboo.” He also teased viewers regarding his song “Not Like Us.” “I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue,” Lamar said. Instead, he was joined by SZA for their songs “Luther” and “All the Stars.” The spotlight was already on Lamar as the game approached, coming one week after the artist won five Grammy Awards, including song and record of the year for his hit, “Not Like Us.” That song was a major part of a viral-rap battle that occurred last spring between Lamar and fellow rap artist Drake.
