Who Won:
The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs with a decisive score of 40:22 (7:0, 17:0, 10:6, 6:16).
Kendrick Lamar’s Performance:
The halftime show featured a commanding performance by rapper Kendrick Lamar, introduced by actor Samuel L. Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam. Surrounded by iconic American imagery, Lamar delivered hits such as Humble, Squabble Up, and Not Like Us, which garnered five Grammy Awards in 2025. SZA and tennis legend Serena Williams joined him on stage.
The track Not Like Us is notable for being Lamar’s diss track aimed at Drake. This led to legal action when Drake filed a lawsuit, alleging defamation. Social media hailed Lamar's performance as the ultimate closure to their prolonged rivalry. As the act concluded, the entire stadium echoed the word "a minor", referencing accusations against Drake. Williams’ presence was no coincidence, given her past relationship with Drake.
