He was always going to play it, wasn't he?

Fans weren't sure if Kendrick Lamar was going to include his Grammy-winning 'Not Like Us' in his Super Bowl halftime show setlist.

But the Compton rapper, 37, rocked up to the Caesars Superdome with his incredible catalogue on Sunday (9 February), and the diss track appeared to be the highlight of his set for those in attendance.

But given that Drake's legal team has filed a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group for releasing 'Not Like Us', some were wondering if he would play the song where he calls the Canadian rapper, 38, a 'certified p**dophile'.

Well, taking to the biggest sporting stage of all (if you're American) he let the crowd sing the 'p**dophile' lyric, instead of himself.

We still got the 'A-minorrrrrr' line and fans also noticed a savage 'smiling' gesture Kendrick gave when he named Drake in his song.

"Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any b**ch that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your lil' sister from him," Kendrick rapped.

"They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs / And Party at the party playin' with his nose now / And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?

"Certified Lover Boy? Certified (missed out 'p**dophiles' lyric)."

"Why you trollin' like a b**ch? / Ain't you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A-minorrrrrr," he added.

Drake has always denied the serious allegations and in 'The Heart Part 6', he rapped: “I never been with no one underage but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with.

“Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected. If I was f**king young girls, I promise I’d a been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s**t you just suggested.”

Samuel L. Jackson was included in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show

Samuel L. Jackson presented Kendrick onto the stage, dressed as Uncle Sam in a traditional red, white and blue outfit.

The actor wore a blue hat, jacket and bow tie with white stars, as well as a red sweater vest on top of a white-button down.

"Samuel L. Jackson as uncle Sam to Kendrick is ICONIC," one fan tweeted, as another penned: "I knew it was going to good when I saw Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam."
