On The Five, Judge Jeanine Pirro ripped into the show: “I want to talk about the halftime show,” Pirro began. “Now, I got to tell you what a nightmare. I kept sitting there saying, you know, maybe I just don’t get this guy.”
Pirro admitted she wasn’t aware of Lamar’s feud with Drake, stumbling over the rapper’s name: “Then I find out there’s this subplot, there’s drama with Drake,” she said. “And, you know, he can do a concert. This guy Kendall Lamar.”
Jessica Tarlov quickly corrected her: “Kendrick.”
Pirro continued, mispronouncing Lamar’s numerous Grammy awards: “And he won all these grammars,” she exclaimed, referencing his 22 Grammy wins.

She then questioned the NFL’s choice, comparing Lamar to previous performers: “But, you know, we had Usher, The Weekend, Beyonce, and Rihanna. I mean, we had performers,” Pirro said. “I don’t know what the hell this guy was doing, but I didn’t get it.”
Pirro’s fiery critique adds to the debate over the NFL’s decision to spotlight a lyrical artist over a mainstream crowd-pleaser. Whether you loved or hated it, Kendrick Lamar’s performance succeeded at what the Super Bowl does best: sparking conversation and controversy.
