Noel Gallagher has slammed Kendrick Lamar’s Superbowl Halftime Show, revealing he ‘switched off’ the performance mere minutes after it began.

The rapper, 37, took to the stage at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday before the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs.

Never one to shy away from sharing his views, Noel, 57, revealed his thoughts on Kendrick’s performance while discussing the game during an appearance on TalkSport.  

The Oasis star said that while he enjoyed the game itself, he doesn’t agree with halftime shows as a whole, branding them ‘nonsense.’ 

He said: ‘I had to switch it off. It was absolute nonsense. Well, I didn’t watch it all. I just switched it off. There was like 300 people getting out of a car in the first two minutes.

‘And it was like, how do they do that?’

‘I don’t like the half-time nonsense and all that. It’s usually artists that I don’t like. But the Super Bowl – I do like watching it. And I got invested this season.

‘It was a good season, I think – some great games.’

Kendrick took to the stage for the much sought-after Halftime slot just a week after his success at the Grammy Awards, and his 13-minute set featured appearances from SZA and Serena Williams.

The Pulitzer Prize winner showcased his lyrical prowess as he started out the performance on top of a car before taking a swipe at his hip hop rival Drake, 38.

Despite Drake recently suing his and Lamar’s record label, Universal Music Group, over the controversial diss song, Not Like Us, which calls Drake a ‘certified pedophile’, Kendrick still performed the song, however, he omitted the word.

It seems the musician opted not to say the word so as not to trigger another lawsuit, as right before he started rapping he told the crowd, ‘I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.’ 

The rapper had a surprise introduction from actor Samuel L. Jackson, 76, who was dressed up as ‘Uncle Sam’, and performed a medley of his hits, before he was joined by R&B singer SZA, 35.

Kendrick did go on to deliver two other controversial lines, including ‘Say Drake, I hear you like them young’ and ‘trying to strike a chord and it’s probably a minor,’ as the crowd sang along.

He also wore a big silver chain pendant with a small letter ‘a’, in another reference to ‘A minor’ in the lyrics and jeans by Celine.
