In a video posted to his social media, Ye admitted that he “really loved” the show. In reality, he said Kendrick Lamar’s performance on the halftime stage was his favorite since Michael Jackson. He admired the small print and said that in real life, persons are on the identical page as him—despite mixed reactions on social media.
“It was super easy. The flag was fresh. After they did be ‘Humble,’ the best way that folks’s heads was moving I used to be like shook. That is super fresh. The person’s voice control, all that. After which, in fact, they construct up the controversy on whether he’s gonna do the record. Then, at the top, I saw people saying that is the worst halftime show. And everybody that I talk over with in person said that is the very best halftime show,” the previous Kanye West said.

As Ye continued explaining himself, he explained why he think Drake’s popularity is heading down the identical road as R. Kelly’s. The disgraced producer is serving prison sentences for racketeering and sexual exploitation of kids and ladies. Just a couple of days ago, six of R. Kelly’s victims filed a brand new lawsuit demanding their $10.3 million, which a judge awarded in 2023. The suit, per TMZ, claims the victims have gotten lower than $500,000 of that quantity.
“So, that is my point right here. One Black superstar is in jail. The subsequent Black superstar is on stage. They take one rapper to take one other rapper down. You gotta remember Drake was almost just like the recent generation R. Kelly. The best way R. Kelly had the radio and all that variety of stuff. The concept was put out within the Kendrick song is what R. Kelly is definitely locked up for.”
Ye then circled back to how critics called Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance the “worst one.” See his comments for yourself below!
Let’s discuss Dot’s diss, though, and why Ye sees an R. Kelly connection. ‘Not Like Us’ took OFF during Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap beef last spring. Ultimately, the track crowned Lamar the winner of that track-for-track war. Since then, the diss song has change into an anthem for the culture, however it also clowns Drake, labeling him a culture vulture and pedophile.
It has been greater than six months since Lamar released the diss, but this month bred recent life into it–not that it EVER died down forreal. Last week, ‘Not Like Us’ racked up five Grammy awards. On Super Bowl Sunday, Kenny performed the hit–despite debates about whether he would. As previously reported, Drizzy isn’t taking the pedophile allegations evenly and is suing UMG for defamation for distributing the song.
