SZA Calls Kendrick Lamar a ‘Prophet’ After Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show Performance: ‘Thank You For Lifting Me Up’
SZA called Kendrick Lamar a 'prophet' after Super Bowl LIX halftime show on Sunday (Jan. 9), thanked the headliner for 'lifting me up.'
Lamar’s intense set at the Caesars Superdome in the midst of what turned out to be a blow-out 40-22 win by the Philadelphia Eagles over reigning champs the Kansas City Chiefs featured an intro from actor Samuel L. Jackson (aka “Uncle Sam”), an opening verse from an unreleased song as well as the recent Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Squabble Up.” Lamar then stepped through a set that included such fan favorites as “Humble,” “DNA,” “Euphoria,” “Man at the Garden” and “Peekaboo” before being joined by SZA for the GNX track “Luther” and “All the Stars” from the Black Panther soundtrack. The set ended, of course, with the expected roll-out of K-Dot’s vicious, beef-ending, Grammy-winning Drake attack track “Not Like Us,” during which Lamar eschewed the legally tricky line “certified pedophile,” but left in “tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”
