During the Super Bowl LIX halftime show on February 9, 2025, a performer in Kendrick Lamar’s act was detained after unfurling a flag combining the Sudanese and Palestinian colors, with “Sudan” and “Gaza” inscribed on it.
The individual, part of the 400-member field cast, concealed the flag and displayed it while standing on a prop car near the performance’s conclusion. This act was unplanned and unauthorized by both the NFL and the show’s producer, Roc Nation. The NFL has stated that the performer will receive a lifetime ban from all NFL events and venues.
The New Orleans Police Department is currently determining applicable charges against the performer.
The incident did not disrupt the halftime show, and it appears that the flag was not shown during the broadcast.
This event has sparked diverse reactions. Some individuals have criticized the performer for introducing political statements into an entertainment event, while others have praised the act as a courageous stand highlighting significant humanitarian issues. The incident occurred amidst ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Sudan, bringing attention to these crises.
