Jay-Z Faces Backlash After Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Performance

Some fans aren’t holding back after last night’s Super Bowl halftime performance featuring Kendrick Lamar.

After Kendrick Lamar performed his set list, including his hit song “Not Like Us,” viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts, with some calling it “boring” and others pointing fingers at Jay-Z, the NFL’s “live music entertainment strategist.”

One critic shared,

“Everyone agrees this year’s #SuperBowl Halftime Show was the worst in history. Remove Jay-Z immediately from the decision-making process.”

On the flip side, another fan tweeted,

“Kendrick Lamar was the first ever rapper to solo headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show & it was flawless. Shoutout to Jay-Z for continuing to push the envelope.”
