Drake Rants After Exes SZA and Serena Williams Join Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show

Drake’s Fiery Exposé Comes Just Before Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show with SZA and Serena Williams

In a dramatic turn of events, Drake took aim at his former flames just moments before Kendrick Lamar hit the stage for the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show—an event notable for featuring two of Drake’s exes, SZA and Serena Williams. The 38-year-old Canadian rapper vented his frustrations during a concert in Australia, as fans looked on in disbelief.

During his performance, Drake expressed his feelings towards those he felt had taken advantage of him. He said, “If you ever gave your time, your energy, your money, your heart, your soul to someone who then f—— played you and wasted everything… turn up to this song.” He appeared to encourage his audience to celebrate their personal victories over past relationships, urging, “If you’re doing better than your ex, I want to see you f—— turn up.”

The timing of Drake’s outburst was particularly poignant, as it coincided with Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show at the Caesars Superdome, where he was joined on stage by SZA and Williams. Their appearances seemed to signal an alliance with Kendrick, amid his longstanding feud with Drake.

Drake famously dated Serena Williams from 2011 to 2015; although their romantic ties have since evolved into a friendship, her participation with Kendrick stirred speculation. Notably, SZA also briefly dated Drake between 2008 and 2009, a past relationship he referenced in his 2020 track “Mr Right Now.”

After Drake’s rant, he performed “You Broke My Heart,” a track from his recent deluxe album “For All The Dogs.” In this song, he encapsulates his sentiments about heartbreak with lyrics like “You broke my heart,” and the emphatic phrase “Yeah, f— my ex.”

As the feud between Drake and Lamar escalates, Kendrick ramped up the stakes during his Super Bowl performance by bringing out Drake’s exes, seemingly drawing a clear line in the sand. The rivalry, which has been very public since 2023, only intensified after Drake took legal action against his rival’s label concerning a diss track that accused him of serious allegations.

Following the halftime performance that reignited tensions, Drake broke his silence on social media, posting images of his live shows with a cryptic caption: “$inema.”

The saga between these two hip-hop titans shows no sign of resolution, as they both continue to engage in this highly publicized conflict, with the world watching their every move.
