Who Won

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs, securing a victory with a final score of 40:22 (7:0, 17:0, 10:6, 6:16).

Kendrick Lamar’s Performance

During the halftime show, the acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar took the stage, introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, who was dressed as Uncle Sam. Amidst a backdrop of American iconography, Lamar delivered electrifying performances of his hits including "Humble," "Squabble Up," and "Not Like Us," the latter of which clinched five awards at the Grammy 2025. Joining him on stage were singer SZA and tennis legend Serena Williams.

The song "Not Like Us" is notable for being a diss track aimed at Drake, leading to a lawsuit from Drake against Lamar for alleged defamation. Social media hailed Lamar's performance as a decisive strike against Drake, marking the end of their long-standing feud. The stadium erupted in unison chanting "a minor," a reference to the song's accusations against Drake. Serena Williams' presence was particularly poignant, given her past relationship with Drake.
