Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show was more than entertainment; it was a huge statement filled with many hidden messages.

The anticipation surrounding Lamar’s performance had been mounting for months, especially since Lil Wayne went on record stating how disappointed he was to be passed over to do the show in his city.

From the moment the lights dimmed and the first beat dropped, it was evident that Lamar wasn’t just there to entertain, but not everybody felt the same way.

One TV host is accusing the performance of being “racist.”

Rob Schmitt, a TV host for NewsMax, took to his show and ripped Kendrick Lamar over his performance while throwing out accusations of him being “racist.”

“Last night’s blowout Super Bowl was more of a cultural spectacle than it was an athletic one. The game ended up being a clash between America’s fading woke culture and a return to normalcy that Americans have been begging for since the plague of wokeness arrived,” he said on the air.

“But woke, of course, is a hard stain to remove. Last night, the NFL gave us unquestionably the worst halftime show we have ever seen. A tiny rapper in bell bottoms, who 98% of the country has never heard of, was allowed to play most of his largely unknown catalog for twenty grueling minutes in front of the entire world. The whole world just sat and wondered why they were watching this. Who is this? Everybody asked. No matter where you were, nobody had a clue what this was, except maybe half a percent of the people in this country alone.

“And for a league so obsessed with diversity as the NFL is, maybe you noticed last night’s halftime show was the first ever that we can recall that was fully monochromatic as far as race. In true woke fashion, this was done with no apologies whatsoever. American culture used to not allow such gratuitous racism. Now, it applauds it. Or at least it did. This is thankfully ending.

“For the last several years, this has been applauded by the dumbest people in our society. Moments like this. This was all put together before the election, by the way. Here’s a glimpse of last night’s halftime show. This is what the NFL put in front of hundreds of millions of people all over the globe.”

Kendrick Lamar Had Several Hidden Messages In His Super Bowl Performance

If the only takeaway you got from Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance was that he gave another blow to Drake, you missed a lot.

Lamar was intentional about what he did.

Lamar, who has won a Pulitzer Prize, is known for his storytelling, and he kept up that theme on Sunday.

The start of Lamar’s performance featured a cameo from Samuel L. Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam or Uncle Tom.

Early in his performance, Lamar spoke on “the revolution,” telling the audience, “The revolution is about to be televised; You picked the right time but the wrong guy.”

Kendrick Lamar designed his set to highlight the issue of mass incarceration. He had his dancers spin around the field to mimic performing in a prison yard.
