Kendrick Lamar self-censored the lyrics of Not Like Us amid its controversy

During the Halftime show, Kendrick Lamar performed several of his hits including Humble, Squabble Up, and Euphoria. While singing Not Like Us, however, the rapper decided to omit the word "p*dophile" that was used as a direct hit at Drake. During the performance, he even said:

"I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue..."

This possibly was a reference to the defamation lawsuit that Drake had filed against Universal Music Group, surrounding the diss track Not Like Us. It was, however, clarified that the suit was not aimed at Kendrick Lamar in any way.

Meanwhile, he was also joined by SZA and DJ Mustard during his performance, with a cameo appearance from Serena Williams. Lamar further received a surprise introduction from actor Samuel L Jackson before SZA joined him. SZA, who was in an all-red look performed Luther and All the Stars with Lamar.

Lamar concluded his performance with Tv Off. As for his outfit, Kendrick wore a blue and white jacket, a black shirt and blue jeans, further accesorized with a backwards hat.
