Kevin Durant wasn’t too enthralled with Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. When asked about Lamar’s performance on Monday (Feb. 10), the Phoenix Suns star called the day “boring” and said it was of little interest to him.
“It meant nothing to me,” he said to reporter Dana Scott. “No thoughts — I didn’t really pay attention to it to be honest. It was a little boring day for a Super Bowl. The game got out of hand. The Super Bowl Halftime Show — I didn’t pay attention to it. I kinda skimmed through the whole thing, to be honest.”
With Durant being a diehard Washington Commanders fan, who lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship, and a vocal Drake supporter, Super Bowl LIX wasn’t exactly the broadcast geared toward him.

Durant has been tight with Drake for years now. KD even earned an A&R credit on Drizzy’s 2023 For All the Dogs album, and he spent some time with the 6 God in Toronto over the summer.
“Whenever Drake just wants to talk about life I’m there for him and he just gave me that title,” the Suns star previously said of his A&R role with Drake.
