Kendrick Lamar: Last News

years-long beef and Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show during the 2025 Oscars.A little over two hours into the Oscars broadcast, O’Brien, 61, joked, “Well, we’re halfway through the show, which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.”K-Dot, 37, headlined the NFL’s halftime show and performed his Grammy-winning Drake dis track, “Not Like Us,” on the field at the Superdome in New Orleans.The song was teased from the start of Lamar’s performance, leaving fans wondering whether he would perform the song in which he accuses Drake of being a “pedophile.”“I want to play their favorite song, but you know they love to sue,” the Pulitzer Prize-winner rapped, seemingly nodding to Drake’s legal actions against their shared record label, Universal Music Group.Lamar ultimately performed the dis towards the end of his halftime show, though he removed one word from the song.Instead of spitting the line, “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” a lyric which also references Drake’s 2021 album “Certified Lover Boy,” Lamar omitted the word “pedophile.”But Lamar still performed two of the song’s other brutal bars: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young / You better not ever go to cell block one.”He then rapped, “Why you trollin’ like a …,” leaving out the word, “b–ch?,” before adding, “Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”The line “A minor” definitely struck a chord with the crowd, who chanted along loudly.Aside from Lamar and Drake, O’Brien took aim at Karla Sofía Gascón, Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet during Sunday’s broadcast.“‘Anora’ uses the f-word 479 times,” O’Brien began one of his opening monologue jokes, referring to one of the year’s Best Picture nominees,
