The Super Bowl was supposed to be a night of epic performances, but instead, we got Kendrick Lamar delivering one of the most underwhelming halftime shows in recent history. Let’s be real—this wasn’t it.
Leading up to the performance, the hype was through the roof—coming off his beef with Drake, the leaked setlist, and the chance to make a major statement. But when it came time to deliver? The energy was off, the song choices were questionable, and casual fans were left disconnected.
In this episode of Said Nicely, Nic Nice breaks down why Kendrick’s performance didn’t hit, why hip-hop fans refuse to be honest, and how the culture is so desperate to push narratives that we ignore reality. If we’re sidelining Drake, where are the replacement hits? And was Kendrick even the right person for this stage?
Plus, a quick word on the game itself—outside of betting and parlays, was anyone really entertained? Kansas City and Philly put up a battle, but did it live up to the hype? Let’s talk about it.
