Shocking scenes that weren’t broadcast on TV show a protester who stormed the stage and stood atop the car that Kendrick Lamar began his Super Bowl halftime set
Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show at the Super Bowl was interrupted by a protester who stormed on stage.
The protester leapt onto stage and jumped atop of the car Kendrick used at the start of his set. He held a flag which had both the Sudanese and Palestinian flags printed on it.
The rapper was completely unbothered as the protester was chased off the stage and tackled by security guards before being dragged away on his knees.
The protest did not make it onto the television screens, and it was not clear how he managed to clamber on stage and evade security.
This comes as Kendrick Lamar has been slammed by fans for performing the “worst ever” halftime show at the Super Bowl.
The ‘Not Like Us’ rapper, 37, was plagued with sound issues at the start and throughout the performance during halftime of the showdown between Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fresh from his Grammy wins, expectations were even higher for the performance, and it started strong with none other than Samuel L Jackson introducing Kendrick in full Uncle Sam get up.
The performance kicked off with ‘Squabble Up’, swiftly followed by ‘HUMBLE’, as Kendrick’s dancers all wore red, white, and blue, echoing the American flag.
Meanwhile, Kendrick kept it cool in blue jeans, a cap, and a slick leather football jacket.
However, fans took to social media to express their disappointment.
One wrote: “Kendrick Lamar’s performance is an absolute snooze fest. Who approved this b******t for a Super Bowl Halftime show? This might be the worst Super Bowl Halftime show of all time.”
Fans were left frustrated as they struggled to hear rap icon Kendrick Lamar during his much-anticipated performance. While showcasing his skills on the field, viewers took to social media to vent their displeasure.
One fan moaned on X, “Kendrick’s mic being quieter than everything else is really putting a damper on this performance.”
