Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show Put the Focus on a Major Drake Diss at the Super  Bowl 2025 | Vanity Fair

This annual sporting event is the most anticipated of the year, serving as the final showdown to determine the champion of the National Football League. Beyond the thrilling touchdowns and inspiring sports moments, the highlight of the event is the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the entertainment performance held at halftime during the championship game. With its massive audience, performing here is a prestigious honor for any artist. This year, Kendrick Lamar became the latest name to take the stage in this legendary event. The rapper delivered a medley of his biggest hits, including Squabbled Up, Humble, DNA, Not Like Us, with the support of the “Queen of Empty Promises,” SZA.

A particularly noteworthy moment occurred when fans unexpectedly spotted Serena Williams dancing alongside the backup dancers during Not Like Us. Even though her appearance lasted only a few seconds, the tennis legend still managed to send the crowd into a frenzy. The reason? Serena is Drake’s ex, and Drake happens to be the target of Kendrick’s diss track Not Like Us. Inviting the ex of his arch-rival onto the most-watched stage in America was nothing short of a direct slap in the face for Drake.

That wasn’t the only blow. The audience in the stands was also heard chanting “A Minor”, a reference to Kendrick’s lyrics in Not Like Us, where he alluded to Drake’s alleged inappropriate behavior involving minors. The 1986-born rapper has previously faced multiple similar accusations, making the moment even more damning.

Kendrick Lamar received overwhelming praise for his masterful execution. Fans widely agreed that he had strategically combined every possible element to diss Drake in the most intelligent way. Meanwhile, Serena Williams’ cameo has become a trending topic across social media platforms in the U.S.. Many netizens are eagerly waiting to see Drake’s response to this public humiliation.
