The halftime show featured a dynamic performance by rapper Kendrick Lamar, introduced by Samuel L. Jackson, who donned an Uncle Sam costume. Amidst a backdrop of American iconography, Lamar delivered an unforgettable set that included hits like "Humble," "Squabble Up," and "Not Like Us," the latter of which garnered five Grammy Awards in 2025. Joining him on stage were singer SZA and tennis icon Serena Williams, adding to the spectacle.

"Not Like Us" is notable as a diss track aimed at Drake, sparking legal action from Drake, who alleged defamation. Social media buzzed with reactions, labeling Lamar's performance as a decisive blow in their feud.
