Kanye West's Verdict On Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show

Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime show performance is stirring diverse reactions among netizens, with some describing it as the worst ever while others hailed the "Loyalty" rapper for his creativity.

Kanye gave his verdict on Lamar's Super Bowl performance in a video obtained by HotNewHipHop.

He began, "Few people have been asking me like 'what did you think of Kendrick's halftime show?'"

The "Jesus Walks" rapper confessed that he "really loved the show" before adding, "It was my favorite halftime show since, like the Michael Jackson era, which I kind of just barely remember. I've just been seeing clips of it."

Kanye analyzed Lamar's performance, saying it was "super simple. The flag was fresh. They did "Be Humble," and the way people's heads were moving, I was just like shook. This is like super fresh."

Kanye West Touches On Diddy's Incarceration

The "Never Let Me Down" rapper also praised Lamar's voice control and how he eventually performed "Not Like Us" after people speculated about him doing it.

Kanye shared that he saw people saying Lamar's halftime show was the worst ever, which he didn't agree with as he feels it is the "best halftime show."

Afterward, he shifted the conversation to Diddy's incarceration to drive his point home.

The Yeezy founder said, "When I say one man's in jail. One superstar, one black superstar, is in jail. The next black superstar is on stage. They take one rapper to take another rapper down."

Kanye West Compares Drake To R. Kelly

Kanye then compared Drake to the imprisoned R&B singer R. Kelly. He said, "It's like Drake is almost like the new generation R. Kelly..."

He explained that R. Kelly is in jail for doing something similar to what Lamar accused Drake of doing in his song "Not Like Us." Recall that Lamar accused Drake of being a pedophile on the track.

Kanye said, "The idea that was put out in the Kendrick song is what R. Kelly is actually locked up for. Now, this information is out here. This could be used, right? And either they give Kendrick everything, he wins everything..."

He added, "Then he does this amazing Super Bowl performance, and right after, they say it's the worst Super Bowl performance."

Kanye explained that the scenario highlighted all he's been saying about black people being used against each other.

He concluded, "This is what I've been saying. They use black people against each other and when they are done with their agenda, they're gonna kick you out. That's my perspective on it."

Kanye Urges Kendrick Lamar To Call For Diddy's Release At Super Bowl

Before Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, Kanye raised eyebrows when he asked the rapper to call for Diddy's freedom.

In a now-deleted X post, Kanye wrote, "KENDRICK LAMAR NEEDS TO SCREAM FREE PUFF FROM THE SUPER BOWL STAGE AND WE ALL KNOW WHY."

He added, "AND IM GOING TO RESPECTFULLY LEAVE IT LIGHT JUST LIKE THAT, BUT THATS THE HYPOCRISY ONE N-GGAS IN JAIL, AND THE OTHER N-GGA IS AT THE SUPER BOWL."

Lamar, who performed "Humble," "Not Like Us" and many of his hit songs at the halftime show, didn't heed Kanye's call. However, that didn't stop Ye from praising his performance.

Kanye Leaves X

Kanye had engaged in an antisemitic rampage on X, infuriating many people with his antics.

Besides posting offensive comments about Jews, Ye also posted pornographic content, made questionable comments about his wife, and even had some things to say about former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Following Kanye's X rants, many celebrities, including "Friends" star David Schwimmer, criticized him and called for X owner Elon Musk to take action against him.

Eventually, Kanye decided to leave the social media platform on his own terms.

Per Sky News, he posted the following, "I'm logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip. Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. Till we connect again. Good afternoon and goodnight."

After the post, Kanye seemingly deactivated his X account, bringing an end to his venomous posts on the platform.
