Just one week later, Kendrick rubbed salt in the wound when he performed “Not Like Us” at his Super Bowl Halftime Show, where he went viral for directly looking into the camera with a smile as he quipped: “Hey Drake!”
Kendrick’s victory lap ended up being so prevalent that it even got a shoutout during this year’s Oscars, when host Conan O’Brien quipped: “We're halfway through the show, which means it's time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.”
