Kendrick Lamar, one of hip-hop’s most venerated artists for the past decade, performed “Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, to cap the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, the first to be headlined by a solo rapper.

Kendrick Lamar said to expect “storytelling” during his halftime show, and he brought it, with help from some famous friends. He infused the proceedings with humor as well as the cutting American imagery he’s known for — another milestone performance after one of the rapper’s biggest years ever.

Kendrick Lamar brought his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” to the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show — but made one big and telling change to the song’s lyrics. Taking the field at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans Sunday, Lamar, 37, elated fans when he performed the song that has come to define his feud with Drizzy, 38, during the show.
