Super Bowl fans believe they've worked out why Kendrick Lamar wore a particular necklace during his halftime performance amidst his feud with fellow rapper Drake.
All eyes were on the Super Bowl halftime performance during last night's annual game, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles take home the victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40 - 22 win.
It was Lamar's turn to take to the halftime stage this year, where each performer gets around 13 minutes to showcase their best work.

Having just walked away from the Grammys with five more awards under his belt, including Song of the Year for 'Not Like Us', Lamar's performance was highly anticipated by fans - but for one specific reason.
The song that landed him the Grammy award is actually a diss track aimed at Drake, in which he accuses him of being a pedophile.
Lamar sings in the song: "Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one."
Another line in the song which has become iconic among fans - and was screamed by crowds at the Super Bowl - is: "Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor."
Taking to the stage last night, the rapper sported a series of silver chains - one of which featured a large diamond lowercase 'a'. And while many viewers were trying to work out the exact significance of the letter, many fans on Twitter believe they have worked it out.
Some initially believed it was a nod to the sponsor of the Super Bowl this year, Apple.
But the main theory shared by many is that the 'A' resembled the 'A minor' lyric in the diss track.
Some also thought that it may have stood for 'Aubrey', which is Drake's real name. But in reality, after hearing the hype around the lyric in the stadium, it's safe to say what the 'A' meant.
Following the release of the song in 2024, Drake filed a lawsuit against Lamar for the allegations made.
The statement noted: "[The song] intended to convey the specific, unmistakable and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal pedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response."
The 2025 Super Bowl wasn't the first time that Lamar had step foot on the halftime stage.
The star joined rap legend Dr. Dre, as well as Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige, as part of a hip-hop-centred halftime show that won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2022.
