Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance elicited a range of reactions. Some fans adored it, while others were less than impressed. Before the big show, much attention was focused on how Kendrick would handle his ongoing feud with Drake, one of the biggest rivalries in hip-hop.
During his performance at the Caesars Superdome, the 37-year-old rapper made a bold statement by wearing a large silver and diamond chain with a lowercase “a”. Initially, the meaning of the letter wasn’t clear, but fans quickly realized that Kendrick was taking a swipe at Drake. In his diss track “Not Like Us”, Kendrick raps, “Why you trollin’ like a b**h? Ain’t you tired? Trying to strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.” Thus, the mystery of the “a” was solved; the chain was a direct reference to “A minor”, serving as another subtle jab at his long-time rival.
