Kendrick Lamar challenges Donald Trump during the Super Bowl show: that's how he challenged the President of the United States

The Super Bowl this year was tilted on the field in favor of the Philadelphia Eagles, who won 40-22 against the Kansas City Chiefs. But the focus of this event is usually placed on many other details beyond the sports. And one of the most important is the traditional halftime performance.

At halftime of this high-profile game, in recent years artists of the caliber of Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, or Coldplay have performed. In the 2025 edition, it was rapper Kendrick Lamar's turn, awarded with five Grammy awards. 

Kendrick Lamar is an American rapper considered one of the best of his generation. From the African-American culture, his discography spans hip-hop with progressive musical genres. He is also an activist artist who addresses mental health and social awareness in his songs.

The rapper performed his famous songs "HUMBLE" and "Peekaboo". But also on stage appeared singer SZA, with whom he sang the songs "All The Stars" and "Luther". Even Serena Williams was part of the dance team for the performance.

However, there were several controversial moments during halftime. At one point during the performance, several flags, from Sudan and Palestine, appeared. The official NFL cameras tried not to show them, but viewers were able to record the moment and spread it on social media.

Additionally, security agents quickly removed the flags. The gesture garnered more attention because Donald Trump was in the VIP box watching the Super Bowl. The gesture has triggered numerous reactions, although it is still unknown whether Lamar was aware that those flags were going to appear.

This gesture comes days after Donald Trump's statements. In a joint press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu, the President of the United States explained his intention to "take control" of the Gaza Strip. His goal is to create "the Riviera of the Middle East" and relocate the population of the territory.
