Kendrick Lamar Makes History
Last week (February 9), Kendrick Lamar made history by becoming the first solo rapper to headline the coveted Super Bowl halftime show. Following this, it was reported that Lamar’s performance garnered an impressive 133.5 million viewers and over 38 million views on YouTube, marking it as the most popular performance in Super Bowl history.
Lamar brought several special guests, including SZA and Samuel L. Jackson. He performed hits like “HUMBLE.,” “LOYALTY.,” “DNA.,” and “HUMBLE.,” with one standout moment being his diss track aimed at Drake, titled “Not Like Us.”

Following her Super Bowl appearance, Williams faced scrutiny on social media, with many claiming she had beef with Drake, whom she briefly dated.
The legendary athlete took to her official X/Twitter to set the record straight. Her husband, Alexis Ohanian, tweeted about her CRIP Walk moment during the event, stating: “Some of you have no idea that Serena faced criticism for the same dance 13 years ago at Wimbledon, showing that this is about more than music.”
What is my dad and husband. Always had my back. I love you, damn it, I was so late for the game (I was sick) and busy investing in a billion dollar business @Wynbeauty… Definitely not dancing to be small, lol. I think I’ve proven 23 times (not counting 4 gold medals)…
