It was the halftime performance heard around the world.
Kendrick Lamar delivered, with the help of a few friends.
The first half came to a close, with the Eagles having dominated the Chiefs 24-0 and everyone’s attention shifted to Lamar.
With more than 100 million people watching, the 22-time Grammy Award winning artist put on a halftime show that left everyone with their jaws on the floor.
His performance included SZA, with surprise appearances by Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams and Mustard.
Lamar’s halftime show left the audience and viewers making the same joke at the expense of Patrick Mahomes and the Chief’s incompetency in the first half.
The all-world Williams appeared for less than five seconds, but she captured the nation’s attention with her surprise cameo and crip-walking skills.
Those mere seconds were enough for the jokes to start coming in.
“Serena crip walked for four seconds and gained more yards than the Chiefs in the entire first half,” one fan wrote on X.
Kansas City gained a total of 23 yards and only one first down.
It was the lowest total yards for the Chiefs with Mahomes at quarterback.
“Kendrick Lamar’s got more yards walking during his performance than the Chiefs offense did in the first half. Very impressive,” another fan chimed in.
“Kendrick Lamar has barely moved from the waist down but still has more rushing yards than the Chiefs,” another fan added.
There was speculation who Lamar would bring out to help assist him in his performance.
We already knew SZA would be a part of the show.
But Lamar surprised everyone by having Jackson play an integral part in his performance, along with the brief Williams cameo, and good friend and producer, Mustard, who joined him at the end.
It was a spectacle for the ages.
One that the internet couldn’t get enough, especially when Lamar performed his hit diss track, ‘Not Like Us’ at fellow rapper, Drake’s expense.

The reaction poured in.
“THIS MAN KENDRICK LAMAR JUST SMILED IN THE CAMERA AFTER COOKING DRAKE.”
“Kendrick getting the entire Super Bowl screaming ‘a minor’ with Serena Williams dancing has to feel like a shot gun blast to Drake’s chest.”
“What did we just witness… Kendrick just murdered Drake in front of 120 MILLION PEOPLE.”
Their rap beef took center stage in the last eight months, with Lamar putting an exclamation point on it at Super Bowl LIX.
It’s (been) over.
The war is won, and Lamar once again has got the last laugh.
On the biggest stage in America.
Mahomes, the Chiefs and Drake all lost tonight.
