Fans think they know brutal hidden meaning behind Kendrick Lamar’s ‘a’ chain

Fans are convinced that they know the savage hidden meaning behind the ‘A’ chain Kendrick Lamar wore during the Super Bowl halftime performance.

In case you missed it, the 37-year-old rapper delivered a show-stopping performance during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9.

The 12-minute set was packed with hit songs like ‘Squabble Up,’ ‘Not Like Us’ ‘Humble,’ and ‘DNA,’ as well as guest appearances from Tennis icon Serena Williams, musician SZA, and award-winning actor Samuel L. Jackson, who portrayed “Uncle Sam”.

The performance was rich in cultural and political symbolism as dancers dressed in red, white, and blue formed a divided American flag, and Lamar’s interactions with Jackson’s “Uncle Sam” character added layers of satire and critique.

One moment that had fans buzzing was Lamar’s performance of Not Like Us – his scathing diss track aimed at Drake.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the ‘Money Trees’ rapper was sporting an ‘A’ pendant while delivering the now-infamous line: “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile.”

Social media quickly erupted with theories about the significance of the chain, with many convinced it was a nod to the lyric “A minor” from the track.

“Rewatched the performance and just realized Kendrick’s necklace……is in the shape of the chord A minor. This man is a f***** genius, I can’t,” one user on X wrote.

Another fan exclaimed: “KENDRICK WEARING A LOWER CASE ‘a’ DIAMOND CHAIN FOR A MINOR ?????” while a third pointed out the significance of Lamar’s diss track reaching such a massive audience: “The Grammys AND the Super Bowl screaming ‘A MINOR’. Kendrick wants this in the history books.”

The brutal line has ignited a legal battle between the Canadian rapper and Universal Music Group (UMG).

According to BBC, the 38-year-old sued UMG, which represents both rappers, accusing them of prioritizing “corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists” by releasing the track.

Just hours before Lamar’s electrifying halftime show, Drake’s team issued a fresh statement regarding the lawsuit, slamming the label for allegedly downplaying serious allegations under the guise of entertainment.

“UMG is masquerading as a champion of artistic freedom by calling its actions merely ‘entertainment’, but there is nothing entertaining about pedophilia or child abuse in the real world,” the statement read, per Vibe.

“We are confident that the evidence we will ultimately present at trial—including information we’ve already learned and continue to receive since filing the lawsuit—will expose UMG’s gross prioritization of its own corporate profits and executive bonuses over its exclusively signed artists’ well-being and the truth,” they added.

UMG has denied all accusations, telling The Independent that the claims are “untrue”.
