A dancer who was part of Kendrick Lamar’s half-time performance at the Super Bowl has been with with a lifetime ban, the NFL have confirmed.

Lamar graced the Caesars Superdome stage at the halfway mark of the clash between Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles and produced a stunning performance, featuring cameos from SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams and DJ Mustard.

The 11-song performance, which saw ‘Kdot’ rap the Grammy-award winning ‘Not Like Us’ diss track to rival Drake, has eclipsed 30 million views on the official NFL YouTube channel.

Lamar censored a number of his lyrics for the 13-minute show but did namedrop Drake amid an ongoing lawsuit involving the Universal Music Group which represents the Compton artist.

However, when Lamar performed the track, there was controversy as a man on stage held up a flag with the words “Gaza” and “Sudan” in a clear reference to the ongoing conflict.

The individual, wearing the same attire as the other dancers, was standing on the GNX car on the stage before jumping down and waving the flag.

He was brought to the ground by onrushing security and escorted from the stadium, with the NFL issuing a statement on the matter and confirming a lifetime ban will be enforced.
