Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show had multiple talking points, from his rap feud with Drake to his scathing commentary on America. But one detail that flew under the radar was a subtle nod to PlayStation. The stage design featured buttons resembling those on a PlayStation controller, a choice that Lamar's creative team explained symbolized his journey through the American dream and served as a way to connect with younger audiences. While some fans saw the video game motif as a victory lap for Lamar, others interpreted it as a symbolic 'game over' for Drake in their ongoing feud.
Did y’all catch Kendrick Lamar ’s halftime show? Between the rapper dragging Drake in front of untold millions after a year of feuding and also dishing out a scathing critique about the state of America, it was a lot to process. So if, in the midst of all that, you didn’t happen to catch the video game reference in the show, you can be forgiven for missing it. That’s right, Lamar put a direct reference to PlayStation in his performance.
“A lot of it is showing his journey, traveling through the American dream.” The performance itself wasn’t too overt with the video game motif, with Carson saying the team wanted to stay “clean and minimal.” “We went with a monochromatic concrete look and allowed the video game motif to come alive through dialogue, lighting, choreography, and music,” Carson said. Wired’s story has a lot more behind-the-scenes information, including some photos of the stage being built.
