Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show had fans buzzing for its high-energy performance and subliminal shots at Drake, but one dancer’s act of protest has now taken center stage—for all the wrong reasons.
As Kendrick closed out his 13-minute set with the powerful track “TV Off”, a backup dancer made a bold statement by waving a Sudanese and Palestinian flag. The moment was brief, but its message was loud. However, instead of being met with support, the performer is now facing punishment for their protest.
The specifics of the consequences haven’t been fully revealed, but the move has sparked outrage, with many accusing the NFL of once again cracking down on political activism. Fans have flooded social media in support of the dancer, calling for artists and performers to have the right to use their platform for causes they believe in.
