Bethenny Frankel‘s comment section supports Kendrick Lamar‘s epic outing at the Super Bowl last weekend, contrary to the backlash. The podcaster honestly reviewed the rapper’s performance and encouraged her listeners to share their thoughts. Frankel gave her hot take in a clip uploaded on her Instagram, revealing that she watched the halftime show. The “Real Housewives Of New York” alum said:
“I have no idea how this take lands. I obviously have heard Kendrick Lamar’s name…. I just sort of was watching the halftime show thinking who is this? And I dig that guy’s music; I thought it was awesome, so I don’t care if everyone hated it; I think it was awesome.”
On her cue, the comment began trickling in agreeing to her stance. One commenter called the rapper “a modern poet,” emphasizing his brilliance, and noted that they loved the performance. Another fan revealed that Lamar’s song now plays on shuffle in her household since watching the performance. A third user called Frankel’s attention to the “subliminal messages” conveyed in the performance.
The social media influencer must have certainly learned a lot from the 2k comments on the viral video. One commenter updated her fellow in the comments that Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize winner with 22 Grammy Awards. Another fan described the rapper as a “lyrical anomaly,” enthusiastically adding flames to their comment for effect. This commenter tagged the performance as “major on every level.”
Did The NFL Apologize To Lil Wayne After Kendrick Lemar’s Halftime Show Performance?
Much drama trailed Lamar’s critically acclaimed performance from the announcement stage. The rapper was accused of filling a spot rightfully meant for New Orleans-born and raised rapper Lil Wayne. Per Daily Mail, the outrage prompted the NFL to issue an apology to Wayne immediately.
Skip Bayless, who also condemned the NFL for snubbing Wayne, revealed that they sent the letter in September. Bayless noted that while the letter did not carry any name, it carried the NFL letterhead. He explained that the letter thanked him for supporting the league and promoting the NFL in general. Bayless made the revelation before the Sunday match.
He also declared in confidence that Wayne would not watch a second of the halftime show. Bayless continued that the snub left a lasting effect on Wayne, and he struggled with the huge disappointment. The How To Love rapper also expressed his shock days after the NFL announced Lamar as the halftime act. Wayne admitted to “not being mentally prepared for a letdown” on his Instagram Live stream.
Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show Performance Came With a Political Sideshow
Well, Lamar proved that to whom much is given, much is expected with his impressive yet controversial performance. We shared that he opened his performance by evoking a popular poem and song by Gill Scott-Heron. According to him, “the revolution about to be televised,” adding, “You picked the right time but the wrong guy.”
Lamar surprisingly witnessed an anti-genocide protester who waved a Palestinian/Sudanese flag to raise awareness on happenings there. The flag bearer was spotted standing on the Buick Grand National, part of the show’s set. The security team reportedly swiftly removed the protester, but the audience received his message well.
Public reaction to the pleasant surprise was very positive, noting that it was “Art Being Revolutionary.” The rapper’s performance also coincided with the NFL’s decision to discontinue their End Racism campaign. Instead, the tag was replaced with a “Choose Love” theme. Lamar’s performance has now been tagged as what the country needs, especially with the rise of fascist groups in America.
Some friends and supporters of Trump, including Elon Musk, are reportedly openly making Nazi signs at American political gatherings. The DAMN rapper’s show still continues to gather attention across social media platforms.
Kendrick Lamar has unarguably etched his name in Super Bowl history with that epic Sunday night show!
