Too Short doesn’t think Kendrick Lamar needs to perform “Not Like Us” at Super Bowl LIX. The Bay Area rap icon believes the Grammy-winning diss track has already left its mark and doesn’t need the added spectacle of the halftime show.
Too Short Shares His Perspective
While attending the Hollywood Virgin book launch in West Hollywood, Too Short shared his thoughts after performing at a fundraiser for the L.A. Fire Department. The event carried personal weight for him, following the tragic murder of his brother. Between performances, he took a moment to talk sports.
A Devoted Raiders Fan with Strong Opinions
Short made it clear he’s rooting for anyone but the Kansas City Chiefs. As a devoted Las Vegas Raiders fan, he hasn’t forgotten how Patrick Mahomes’ team dominated the AFC West this season. His loyalty runs deep, and he admits to feeling some frustration this year.
Kendrick’s Halftime Show: To Perform or Not?
Despite his NFL loyalties, Too Short is confident Kendrick Lamar will deliver an unforgettable halftime show. However, he believes leaving “Not Like Us” off the setlist would be an even bigger statement.
In his view, the track has already done its damage. Rather than reigniting the Drake feud on football’s biggest stage, Short thinks Lamar should let the song live rent-free in people’s minds.
Will Kendrick Perform “Not Like Us”?
That said, the odds aren’t in Short’s favor. Kendrick racked up multiple Grammys for the record and even used it as his entrance music during a pre-show interview. Whether it makes the final setlist remains to be seen, but fans are watching closely.
