‘Real Time’: Kid Rock Says Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was “The Epitome Of DEI Blowing Up”

On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the 3x Grammy nominee shared his two cents as someone who “understands the culture,” before going on to rant that Lamar’s set was the “epitome of DEI blowing up.” Before Maher could move on, Rock insisted on sharing “one more point,” as he claimed Lamar’s performance “was the epitome of DEI blowing up” due to its lack of white people. The red-white-and-blue themed performance was also steeped in metaphorical imagery as President Donald Trump was in attendance during the big game, which fell on Black History Month.
