All eyes were on him.

Kendrick Lamar brought his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” to the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show — but made one big and telling change to the song’s lyrics.

Taking the field at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans Sunday, Lamar, 37, elated fans when he performed the song that has come to define his feud with Drizzy, 38, during the show.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper teased the song throughout the performance, saving it for the end of his time on the field.

“I want to play their favorite song, but you know they love to sue,” K-Dot spat at one point, undoubtedly alluding to Drake’s legal actions against their shared record label, Universal Music Group.

When Lamar finally performed a portion of “Not Like Us,” which accuses his Canadian rival of being a “pedophile,” he altered the lyrics by removing the word.

Instead of spitting “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” Lamar went silent at the part where he would normally rap “pedophile.”

The lyric also references Drake’s 2021 album “Certified Lover Boy.”

And though Lamar’s “Not Like Us” performance omitted the rapper’s most blunt accusation against Drake, he still got his message across as he served two of the song’s other brutal bars: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young / You better not ever go to cell block one.”

He then rapped, “Why you trollin’ like a …,” leaving out the word, “b–ch?,” before adding, “Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”

The line “A minor” definitely struck a chord with the crowd, who chanted along loudly.

As planned, SZA joined Lamar’s performance, singing their 2018 Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated hit from the “Black Panther” soundtrack, “All the Stars,” and “luther.”

There was, however, one unexpected guest on the halftime show stage: Drake’s ex, tennis legend Serena Williams.

Sunday’s performance was by far the most high-profile live rendition of “Not Like Us,” with more than 80,000 in attendance at the Super Bowl and likely over 100 million watching the very public airing of rap drama at home.

Lamar spat the diss just days after taking home five Grammys for “Not Like Us,” including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

In the lead-up to the game, Lamar kept mum about whether the diss track would make it into his setlist.

At the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show press conference Thursday, Lamar would only say that he would deliver plenty of “storytelling.”

Lamar and the show’s producers tipped their hand though by playing “Not Like Us” as he was introduced at the top of the presser.

The day before, TMZ reported that the “Humble” rapper would perform the Drake diss at halftime.

The decision was particularly weighty given that Drake has sued his own record label, UMG — which also reps Lamar — for defamation and harassment because they released and promoted “Not Like Us.”

Along with the scathing lyrics throughout “Not Like Us,” the single’s cover art also takes a jab at Drake. Featuring a bird’s-eye view of his Toronto estate, the image has been manipulated to resemble a sex offender registry map.

“Not Like Us” was one of 2024’s biggest hits, spending two non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 after its May 4 release.

Lamar was announced as the halftime show headliner in September.

In a statement released at the time confirming the news, the “King Kunta” rapper seemed to take a swipe at Drake.

“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one,” Lamar said, per Billboard.

The LA native performed at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, which was dedicated to celebrating hip-hop. He joined Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Mary J. Blige at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

Lamar’s 2025 performance follows Usher’s halftime show at the 2024 Super Bowl.
