Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show just ignited a flurry of reactions across social media. The hip-hop A-lister’s performance drew praise from his fans, while some just weren’t going to be interested in Lamar (or any rap artist) from the get-go.
Lamar’s performance featured a special guest performance from SZA, cameos from Samuel L. Jackson and DJ Mustard, as well as the rapper performing songs from his new album GNX. He also played the controversial Drake diss “Not Like Us.” See some of the reactions to the performance below.
