Kendrick Lamar & SZA had a collaboration for the halftime show of Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. 

Lamar and Drake are not on good terms, so  the halftime show was a direct diss towards his current enemy Drake. 

Senior Cora Alvarado wasn’t aware of the feud between the two rappers before the show.

”In my head, I thought how crazy it was to make a public announcement at the Super Bowl,” Alvarado said.

There were a couple messages during the performance you probably missed. Samuel L. Jackson’s, aka “Uncle Sam”, part of the performance had meaning behind it.

Senior Jaqueline Barrera caught the hidden messages in the performance.

“I thought it was really smart once I knew what they were talking about and the message they were trying to prove,” Barrera said.  

Jackson’s purpose of being there was to show how Americans think African Americans music is, in Uncle Sam’s words, “too loud, too reckless, too ghetto.” To continue, basically a political statement he is trying to prove against the stereotypes set for African Americans and how there is still injustice.
