Kendrick Lamar may not have won a most valuable player trophy at the Super Bowl Sunday night, but perhaps he should have. The cultural consensus is that the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper not only definitively put to bed who won his rap feud with Drake, but Lamar also took his victory lap during with his halftime performance. And while the Philadelphia Eagles stopped what would have been an historic three-peat Super Bowl win by the Kansas City Chiefs, Drake was also defeated in the eyes of many hip-hop fans. Going into Lamar’s performance, there was discussion about whether he be performing his biggest hit to date, “Not Like Us.” The diss track was arguably the song of 2024 and central to his highly publicized rap battle with Drake. Just last week, the Lamar won five Grammys, including song of the year, record of the year and music video of the year for “Not Like Us.” Lamar takes a swipe at the Canadian rapper in the song with the lyrics: “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” later followed by “Tryna strike a cord and it’s probably A Minor.”
