Former NHLer and analyst Marc Methot criticized Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime performance at the Caesars Superdome.
Lamar delivered a powerful show, featuring a medley of his biggest hits like "Humble," "All the Stars" and "Not Like Us." SZA joined him for a duet, and the choreography received high praise, adding to the excitement of the event.
Lamar also playfully mentioned Drake during his performance. He skipped the lyrics that controversially refer to Drake but continued to sing the line that mentioned "tryna strike a chord, and it's probably A minor." The crowd joined in and sang along.

Fans react to Marc Methot's criticism of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) reacted to Marc Methot's criticism of Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance. One said:
