Who Won:

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs, securing a victory with a final score of 40:22, broken down by quarters as 7:0, 17:0, 10:6, and 6:16.

Kendrick Lamar’s Performance:

The halftime show featured a dynamic performance by Kendrick Lamar, who was introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, appearing as Uncle Sam. Amidst American iconography, Lamar delivered electrifying renditions of his hits such as "Humble," "Squabble Up," and "Not Like Us," the latter of which clinched five Grammy Awards in 2025. Joining him on stage were SZA and tennis icon Serena Williams.

"Not Like Us" stands out as a diss track targeting Drake, leading to a lawsuit by Drake against Lamar for alleged defamation. Social media hailed Lamar's performance as a decisive strike against Drake, effectively ending their prolonged rivalry. The crowd's chant of "a minor" at the show's conclusion referenced the song's allegations against Drake concerning relationships with minors. Serena Williams' participation was especially poignant, given her past relationship with Drake.
