Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show was a massive success on Sunday, February 9.

The Compton native brought out his ex-label mate and frequent collaborator SZA to perform their hit records “All The Stars” and “Luther.”

Several days following Kendrick’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, there have been a lot of allegations and accusations about her and Kendrick Lamar’s performance. 

From Kai Cenat alleging that the stadium was quiet except during the performance of ‘Not Like Us’ to those calling Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show the worst one ever, it interestingly becomes the most watched halftime show ever with over 133 million views. 

But it’s SZA who has been stirring up serious buzz around her performance in New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome.

One allegation that got the attention of some social media users is SZA’s alleged lip-syncing.

Solana Imani Rowe, who is better known for her stage name as SZA, appeared on stage wearing a red leather jacket, which was paired with red pants and sneakers, seemingly matching the Kansas City Chiefs’ red uniform while rocking a “Lana” diamond neckpiece in support of her recently released SOS Deluxe: LANA album.

Several fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show. Many speculated that the Grammy-winning singer was lip-syncing during her performance. One user claimed her microphone wasn’t “even on.”

Below are more reactions followed from users sharing their speculations and theories surrounding Solana’s Super Bowl performance.
