Kendrick Lamar has done it again! During his halftime performance at the Super Bowl, the rapper from Compton not only put on a breathtaking show, he also took the opportunity to send several digs at Drake, rekindling tensions between the two rap giants.
A memorable show and well-placed innuendos
Kendrick Lamar's performance was one of the most anticipated of the night, and he did not disappoint. With his legendary energy, the rapper belted out his greatest hits while sliding subtle but biting references to its Canadian rival.
One of the highlights was his performance of "Euphoria", a song with cryptic lyrics that many fans believe contains veiled attacks on Drake. The lighting effects and visuals accompanying his performance also seemed to reinforce this subliminal message.
A clash that never runs out of steam
This is not the first time Kendrick Lamar and Drake trade barbs through their music. Their rivalry goes back several years and has had particularly intense moments of tension in 2023. Many tracks and freestyles have suggested that the two rappers don't really like each other.
By adding these references to the biggest sporting event of the year, Kendrick Lamar sent a strong message: he doesn't plan on leaving Drake alone anytime soon. This display of power on such a massive stage could well intensify their rivalry even further.
Reactions from fans and celebrities
As expected, Twitter and Instagram have exploded after Kendrick Lamar's performance. Fans went on a veritable clue hunt, looking for hidden Drake references. Some hailed Kendrick's audacity and genius, while others criticized this indirect way of provoking his rival.
Even some celebrities have reacted, with rappers and producers taking sides in this feud increasingly publicized. It remains to be seen whether Drake will respond directly or whether he would prefer to ignore these provocations.
And now ?
If this exchange of attacks continues, 2025 could well be an explosive year for rap. With performances this strong and tensions this palpable, we can expect new tracks, studio clashes and maybe even a scathing response from Drake.
Anyway, Kendrick Lamar has once again proven that he is a master of the stage and a strategist of the rap game.. His show at Super Bowl will be remembered not only for his artistic excellence, but also for the flames he rekindled in his rivalry with Drake. 🔥
