The 13-minute showcase between halves of the Philadelphia Eagles versus Kansas City Chiefs game captivated fans both in and outside the Caesars Superdome. Lamar brought an electrifying energy with back-to-back tracks from his Billboard 200-topping album, GNX, alongside chart-topping hits from his earlier works such as “Humble” and “DNA.”
