SZA Faces Lip-Syncing Accusations During Super Bowl 2025 Performance

During her Super Bowl 2025 halftime show performance alongside Kendrick Lamar, SZA faced backlash from viewers who accused her of lip-syncing. Fans took to social media to express their discontent, describing her lip-syncing as 'so obvious' and criticizing the overall mix of the performance. Despite the criticism, Kendrick Lamar took the opportunity to make jabs at SZA's ex-boyfriend Drake during his set, heightening the drama surrounding the event. SZA, who previously dated Drake in 2009 and 2023, opted to share the stage with Lamar instead, which sparked further conversation about their rivalry. Kendrick performed a diss track aimed at Drake but carefully omitted a controversial word to avoid potential legal issues. Representatives for SZA have been contacted for comments regarding the lip-syncing allegations.
