Kendrick Lamar made a statement during his Super Bowl LIX halftime performance, not just with his music but also with his letterman-style jacket—which had no connection to either team on the field.
Jacket Features Personal References
Emblazoned across the front in bold letters was the word “GLORIA”, a nod to Lamar’s song of the same name featuring SZA, who joined him on stage for the show.

- His right arm showcased lyrics from his diss track “Not Like U” and his song “Peekaboo.”
