Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night (Feb. 9) was packed with messages. However, the biggest takeaway for social media users was clear: Don’t mess with Kendrick Lamar.
The bold move had X users praising Lamar’s confidence, with one sharing a photo of the rapper’s smirk at the camera, captioned, “The face of a true chaotic good. … Kendrick is a menace.” Another X user posted the same image, writing, “THIS MAN KENDRICK LAMAR JUST SMILED IN THE CAMERA AFTER COOKING DRAKE … LMFAOOOOOO.”
Many fans admired Lamar’s unmatched level of pettiness. X user Ali B commented, “I know – as petty as I am, I’ll never be as petty as Kendrick.”
Another fan described Lamar as “a North star of petty. An innovator when it comes to hating. An inspiration.” Someone else, sharing a GIF of a furious Goku from Dragon Ball Z, wrote, “Kendrick back stage summoning all of his hatred for this performance.”
Fellow rapper JPEGMAFIA made a strong statement, saying, “It’s over. Never beef with kendrick.”
One user shared a photo of the “GAME OVER” message displayed in the Caesars Superdome crowd at the end of halftime, writing, “Kendrick killed it. Game over.”
“Kendrick really said that about drake in-front of 100 million people.”
“Drake is somewhere punching in the air.”
"Most overhyped half time show of all time 😭😭😭."
"Just absolutely HORRIBLE! Trash," commented another one."
Another big half time show let down..." added a tweet.

I know - as petty as I am, I'll never be as petty as Kendrick. He is a North star of petty. An innovator when it comes to hating. An inspiration.
