Kendrick Lamar used symbolism to his advantage during his Super Bowl LIX performance.
The 37-year-old rapper wore a jacket stating “Gloria” across the front of it in reference to a track on his 2024 album, GNX. SZA, who performed with him at the Super Bowl, is featured on the track.

“Gloria” — which also means “glory” in Spanish — nods at the glory he has received in his career thus far and also serves as a metaphor for his songs.
Fans seemed to be divided on the look, as many praised him on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“Kendrick Lamar wearing female Levi’s pants is kinda crazy but that jacket is fire,” one person commented.
“Is Kendrick Lamar sporting a Florida Gator jacket??” another chimed in.
A third wrote, “I need that jacket Kendrick Lamar got on!”
