Kendrick Lamar's polarizing Super Bowl -Halftime performance has reportedly drawn more than 100 complaints at the Federal Communications Commission -including something about his feud with Drake and someone who accused Serena Williams of promoting 'gang -affiliation'.
Lamar entered the stage during the break of the final Super Bowl Lix victory of the Eagles on the Chiefs and performed his hit Drake Diss 'not like us'.
The song, which has been the subject of Drake's defamation, refers to the Canadian as a 'certified pedophile', although Lamar did not rap those words on stage in February. Lamar left in other controversial lines from the song, such as 'Say, Drake, I hear you' em young 'and' Tryna Straken an agreement and it is probably a minor. '
About six weeks after the performance, TMZ has obtained 125 complaints that were sent to the FCC with regard to the performance, and at least 10 from subsequently refer to Lamar's anti-rake lines.
One complaint claimed that Lamar used the platform to push a 'personal vendetta' against Drake.
