Kendrick Lamar declared his feud with Drake "game over" during his triumphant halftime show performance in last night's Super Bowl.

The Grammy winner's performance in the biggest sports event of the year has been highly anticipated by many fans as they are wondering how he will reference his infamous beef with Drake on the stage.

Kendrick Lamar References Drake Feud in Super Bowl Halftime Show

To no one's surprise, Lamar referenced his infamous feud with Drake before performing his Grammy-winning hit song "Not Like Us."

There have been questions about how Lamar will perform "Not Like Us." Not just because of its relation to the beef, but Drake has notably sued Universal Music Group over releasing and promoting the hit song.

While looking at the camera, Lamar quipped, "I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue." Then, he ripped through "Not Like Us" which ended up becoming the highlight of the entire halftime show.

However, Lamar left out the word "pedophile" while performing the song due to the legal action, but he let the crowd shout "A minor."

The Grammy winner concluded his performance by signing off with "TV Off" and the words "Game Over" illuminated the crowd behind.
