Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Halftime Show Drew 125 FCC Complaints Over Drake Diss, More

It appears that Drake wasn't the only person to have a problem with Kendrick Lamar's thought-provoking Super Bowl Halftime Show last month.

According to TMZ, 125 complaints were filed with the FCC following Lamar's Feb. 9 performance, which drew a record 133.5 million viewers.

TMZ obtained all 125 complaints and revealed that at least 10 of them accused Lamar of "using his platform to go after his arch nemesis" by performing songs that dissed Drake, including the Grammy-winning smash hit "Not Like Us." One complaint claimed that he used the performance to focus on a "personal vendetta."

Other complaints "accused Kendrick of having a potty mouth, only using Black performers and being divisive with his set," per TMZ.

Even tennis legend Serena Williams, who made a dancing cameo during the performance, drew the ire of some viewers. A complaint accused her of promoting "gang affiliation" for her famed celebratory dance.

In comparison, Rihanna's 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show resulted in just over 100 complaints to the FCC, while the 2020 Halftime Show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira led to a whopping 1,300-plus complaints.

For Lamar, 125 out of 133.5 million is just a drop in the bucket.
