Kendrick Lamar headlined the Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show in New Orleans this past weekend. On Tuesday, it was revealed that he actually made history with his performance.

Lamar entered the Super Bowl with a ton of hype due to his beef with Drake. There were moments during the halftime show where he teased his “Not Like Us” diss. Eventually, he played the viral song for everyone at the Caesars Superdome. It was a pretty epic moment for those in attendance.

Although countless people accused Lamar of putting on the “worst” halftime show ever, the ratings would suggest that he grabbed everyone’s attention.

Roc Nation announced Tuesday that  Lamar’s halftime show had 133.5 million viewers. That breaks the previous record of 133.4 million viewers, which was held by the late Michael Jackson.

After Roc Nation made this announcement, NFL fans accused them of lying.

“Not a chance,” one person said in response to the ratings.

“Kendrick Lamar surpassed Michael Jackson… OK. If you believe this, please unfollow me,” Jason Whitlock tweeted.

“Roc Nation lied about the Usher views… I just don’t believe Kendrick Lamar would do higher numbers than MJ,” another person wrote.

“Super misleading – the Super Bowl had the highest viewership of all time – and people left the TV on during half time,” a fourth person added,

It’s no surprise that people are questioning Roc Nation’s report. Some people, like Rob Schmitt of NewsMax, have made it clear they’re not fond of Lamar.

“Last night’s blowout Super Bowl was more of a cultural spectacle than it was an athletic one. The game ended up being a clash between America’s fading woke culture and a return to normalcy that Americans have been begging for since the plague of wokeness arrived,” Schmitt said on the air. “But woke, of course, is a hard stain to remove. Last night, the NFL gave us unquestionably the worst halftime show we have ever seen. A tiny rapper in bell bottoms, who 98% of the country has never heard of, was allowed to play most of his largely unknown catalogue for twenty grueling minutes in front of the entire world. The whole world just sat and wondered why they were watching this. Who is this? Everybody asked. No matter where you were, nobody had a clue what this was, except maybe a half a percent of the people in this country alone.”

Lamar has not addressed any of the backlash he’s receiving on social media. Perhaps he’ll break his silence on Wednesday.
