Super Bowl LIX's halftime show was nothing short of historic as Kendrick Lamar took over the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans with a performance that combined music, a meaningful message, and star power. The first solo hip-hop artist to headline the event, Lamar delivered a spectacle that was as electrifying as it was thought-provoking.

The night kicked off with a cinematic touch—Samuel L Jackson, dressed as 'Uncle Sam,' set the stage before Lamar stormed in, clad in a military-inspired black outfit. With hard-hitting tracks like 'HUMBLE', 'DNA', and 'Alright', he had the stadium pulsing with energy. 

But the biggest surprise? SZA's stunning entrance for a soul-stirring rendition of 'All the Stars'.

The guest appearances didn't stop there. Serena Williams made an unexpected, effortlessly cool cameo, dancing along to the beats. Meanwhile, a protestor waving a flag symbolising Sudan and Gaza briefly took the spotlight, adding an unexpected moment of political commentary.

But the moment that set social media ablaze? Lamar dropping 'Not Like Us', his scathing diss track aimed at Drake—though he strategically skipped the most controversial lyric.

With an unforgettable performance, Lamar cemented his place as a halftime legend, leaving fans buzzing long after the final whistle.
