I think it was intentional. so was Jean batiste singing "land of the free" three times. protest takes many forms.

Right!?! Wish they put this much energy towards calling out Trump..an actual rapist. I'm not a fan of drake but these are just allegations at this point. He wasn't photographed with Epstein....

Idk with the whole america theming and some of the other stuff said i wouldnt be that suprised if this was kinda a subtle call out to trump too.

I didn’t know anything about Kendrick or drake until now, I saw the halftime show and thought a lot of it was directed at trump. He said something like “this goes beyond music” The part where he said the revolution will be televised, you picked the wrong guy… 💯 felt like a dig at trump

It felt more aimed at the public, it was a political call out, but it felt more like a call to action.

It most definitely was.

Exactly, it’s crazy how many people missed the symbolism of the performance, from beginning to end

That was my biggest disappointment, I got too in my head hoping that he’d pull YG out and do F Donald Trump haha

I feel like the red, white and blue was saying that America belongs to black people too. All the dancers (from what I could see) were black. there was a moment when the flag was split in half so I think it was to signifying American being divided. I was mostly just singing along and dancing so that's what I managed to get from the performance.

A lot of people have made this connection now and I feel like that’s no accident

Yeah I'm not anywhere close to a Drake fan but he's been dead and buried long ago in this feud. With everything going on, using the big stage just to continue the publicity tour fued is kinda sad. Drake's pathetic, gross, and lost. Aim higher now. Lost respect for Kendrick beating that dead horse while US falls apart.

The… entire theme of the show was reclaiming America for the people.

Kendrick can’t really afford to shout directly in Frump’s face. His celebrity status isn’t that secure.

Plus, his style is more poetic, anyway. So what he did was perfectly on-brand and definitely sent a message.

No, he's not. Don't be daft.

Have you seen the international feeds of the Super Bowl? People were booing Trump.

Fox pumped in cheering crowd sounds. They gaslighting you like crazy.
