NFL address Kendrick Lamar dancer who waved Palestine flag during Super Bowl half-time show ‘No one involved with the production was aware of the individual’s intent’ said a spokesperson.
Despite some social media speculation that the stunt was intended by the rapper, who has been criticised for not being vocal about Palestine to date despite his “socially conscious” music, the NFL confirmed that the protester was in fact a member of the crew gone rogue.
The NFL has responded after a dancer unfurled a Palestine and Sudan flag during Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Super Bowl halftime show.
The unknown man stood on top of the GNX car used by the rapper for his set, on Sunday (9 February) during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lamar’s performance, days after sweeping five Grammys, featured a self-censored performance of his hit Grammy-winning diss song “Not Like Us”.
