Kendrick Lamar sent a strong message to Drake with his widely-praised Super Bowl LIX halftime show, but a performer who attempted to make an even bigger statement during the spectacle is not enjoying the same warm reception.
Towards the end of the scintillating 13-minute set, as Kendrick was closing things out with a triumphant rendition of “TV Off,” a backup dancer pulled out and waved a combined Sudanese and Palestinian flag.

The custom flag also featured the words “Sudan” and “Gaza” along with a love heart and a raised fist, a show of support for the two war-torn regions.

According to the Associated Press, the NFL confirmed that the protestor was part of Kendrick’s 400-strong field cast.
