Charlamagne Tha God criticized Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show for focusing too heavily on his ongoing feud with Drake, despite breaking viewership records with 135.7 million viewers.

Speaking on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne argued that Lamar should have skipped performing "Not Like Us," his Grammy-winning Drake diss track, saying "Kendrick is bigger than 'Not Like Us.' It's a moment in time for Kendrick; it does not define him or who he is."

During the 13-minute performance, Lamar teased the controversial song throughout, addressing potential legal threats from Drake's team. When performing "Not Like Us," he censored the word "pedophile" but kept other pointed Drake references intact, including lyrics about preferring younger women and the memorable line "Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor."

The show featured notable appearances from Drake's ex-girlfriends, including a duet with SZA and a surprise cameo from Serena Williams, who performed a crip walk on an elevated stage.

The performance broke records as the most-watched halftime show in Super Bowl history, surpassing both Usher's recent show and Michael Jackson's iconic 1993 performance. However, Charlamagne cautioned against overplaying the feud, stating, "You should never go past the mark you aim for in victory. I just wouldn't give my opp and his minions that kind of love on that big-ass stage."
