Read Time:59 Second

New Orleans police confirmed on Monday that a man who showed the Palestinian flag with the word “Gaza” in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Lix halftime show would not face charges. “Sultan” is held high by the performers. Individually dressed in black sweat like other dancers, he stood in a car, the heart of Lamar's performance, then jumped off the stage and sprinted in the fields. Security personnel addressed the protesters soon after, although attendees had captured the moment on cell phone footage and spread it to social media. Lamar and guests, SZA and Samuel L. Jackson seem to have not noticed the man. Lifetime ban on league stadiums and events. Roc Nation, which produced the show, clarified that there was no planned flag display. Donald Trump competed in the competition, although it is unclear whether he witnessed the protests. His recent claim that the U.S. government’s commitment to “buying and owning Gaza” has sparked widespread rejection from Palestinians, strengthening debate on the future of the enclave. Lamar has not commented on the matter publicly. Baller Alertsubscribe sends the latest posts to your email.
