After months of controversy and five Grammy wins for “Not Like Us” last week, Kendrick Lamar graced the stage at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for the Apple Music Super Bowl 2025 halftime show. Kendrick’s halftime performance started with an introduction by actor Samuel L. Jackson dressed as Uncle Sam. The stage was built to look like it had PlayStation controller buttons. The tone for the show was set early. He performed 11 songs including “Not Like Us.”
