Kendrick Lamar will be the star of the halftime show at the biggest sporting event in the United States. It is said that he will most likely perform his song "Not Like Us" with the intention of destroying Drake's career, he wants to humiliate him on the biggest mainstream platform.

Tensions are hotter than ever

As if this rivalry between the two wasn't enough, Drake didn't sit idly by and decided to sue Universal Music Group and Kendrick Lamar for defamation in "Not Like Us" a few weeks ago.

This doesn't mean that Kendrick Lamar won't perform the song at the Super Bowl halftime show, on the contrary, the rapper is more motivated than ever to do so. In fact, he would have no legal problems if he decides to do it, as reported by US Sun.

Also, Kendrick's entourage has reportedly approached his friend to recommend that he avoid the song at the Chiefs-Eagles game, but that doesn't matter to him and he wants to humiliate Drake on the most important stage.

In an exclusive interview with Apple Music, Kendrick Lamar was asked about his intentions and this rivalry with the Canadian singer:

"My intent from day one was to keep the nature of it as a sport... I think a lot of people were putting rap on the back burner, you didn't see that grit, you didn't see that bite anymore," he said.

The NFL will not prevail

The song that has more than a billion plays on Spotify will undoubtedly steal the show. That's why the NFL is aware of all the controversy that could be generated and won't put up a fight if Lamar decides to sing it.

Not Like Us" was used in the lead-up to the main event on the NFL Network, and sources close to The Sun say they've given the rapper the green light to do whatever he wants.
