"Not Like Us" is part of Lamar’s ongoing feud with Drake, and there had been speculation that Lamar might skip the track due to Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group. However, Lamar delivered the song, omitting some controversial lines but still referencing the feud, with the crowd singing along.

The song "Not Like Us" recently won five Grammy Awards, boosting Lamar's total to 22. His performance on the Super Bowl stage follows iconic appearances by stars like Beyoncé, Prince, and Madonna, with the event typically drawing over 100 million U.S. viewers.
