Kendrick Lamar Keeps 'Not Like Us' in Super Bowl Show Despite Legal Pressure from Drake
Kendrick Lamar and the NFL are proceeding with plans to feature "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl halftime show, despite potential legal pressures and defamation threats.

The controversial Drake diss track remains on the setlist, even as Drake's legal team reportedly pressured the NFL to exclude it. Drake previously filed a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), claiming they orchestrated a scheme to promote the track and slander him. UMG has dismissed these claims as "ridiculous."
Lamar appears undeterred by the legal drama, likely because he isn't directly named in the lawsuit. The performance will move forward as planned, with fans expecting to hear the hit song during Sunday's show.
In related news, Lamar has partnered with designer Willy Chavarria for a limited-edition Super Bowl apparel collection. The collaboration builds on their existing relationship, as Lamar has previously worn Chavarria's designs during his Big Steppers Tour. The collection launches Wednesday, January 29, ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl.
