The Philadelphia Eagles clinched a decisive victory over the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, with a final score of 40:22. The game unfolded with a strong performance by the Eagles, leading to a breakdown of quarters as follows: 7:0, 17:0, 10:6, and 6:16.
Kendrick Lamar’s Performance:
The halftime show featured a standout performance by Kendrick Lamar, introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, who donned the iconic Uncle Sam costume. Amidst a backdrop of American symbolism, Lamar delivered an electrifying set that included his hits "Humble," "Squabble Up," and "Not Like Us," the latter of which swept five awards at the Grammy 2025. Joining him on stage were SZA and tennis legend Serena Williams.
"Not Like Us" garnered attention not only for its Grammy success but also for its role as a diss track aimed at Drake, leading to a legal battle where Drake accused Lamar of defamation. Social media erupted, viewing Lamar's performance as a decisive strike in their ongoing feud. The stadium's collective chant of "a minor" at the show's end underscored the song's controversial references to Drake. Serena Williams' presence added another layer, given her past relationship with Drake.
