In the grand American tradition, a bunch of people wanted to talk to the manager about Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show. Over 100 people complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about the “Not Like Us” rapper’s performance, and—at least as far as we know—none of them were Drake. Instead, the people were generally mad about Lamar’s language and “gestures” (which ones? unclear), as well as the fact that “not one white person” was featured onstage. Even if Drake wanted to hire people to make a fuss, they probably would have been more creative than that.
According to a report from The Hill, multiple complaints took issue with Lamar’s “provocative dancing” because, apparently, America can’t handle a man in bell bottoms. “The halftime show was terrible with the language and gestures. My younger kids did not need to see and hear this!” one viewer wrote. “That was the worst halftime show that I have ever seen,” another from North Carolina submitted. “I’m glad that I couldn’t understand most of what Kendrick Lamar was saying because I read the lyrics to a few of his songs, and I am appalled.” If those kids could read, they’d also be very upset.
