It was Super Bowl LIX. Kendrick Lamar lit the stage on fire with his half-time performance. It was the most-watched halftime show with 133.5 million viewers. But as it always happens, nothing happens without scrutiny. And the critics are bashing the league for not including artists from New Orleans. That’s when Kayla Nicole, ex-GF of Travis Kelce, came on to clarify the show’s impact on the crowd in attendance.

While K-Dot broke Michael Jackson’s record of halftime viewers, Mike Sims-Walker wasn’t ready to give his flowers on the February 12 episode of the REVOLT Sports Weekly x I Am Athlete show. He even claimed, “I didn’t enjoy it.” He even advocated for the New Orleans-based rapper Lil Wayne and Master P. That’s when the model and entrepreneur, Nicole, jumped in.

Travis Kelce’s former GF explained the impact by replying, “I was in the stands at the game. So I got a live view of the people in the audience and I’m surrounded by Eagles fans, older, a lot of white people.” The 2025 Super Bowl, hosted at Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, had an attendance of 65,719 fans. There’s obviously a mixed opinion on the half-time show with some fans enjoying it while some didn’t. But Kayla detailed how fans loved the show from a first-person point of view.

She continued, “You know what them white people were doing in there, they didn’t know a lot, they didn’t know a single word, not a lyric, hopping and bopping and recorded enjoying the show… I am appalled during Black History Month you would say that you didn’t want to see a layered a cultural performance like that.”

Let’s be honest. It’s one of the top shows performed by a 22x Grammy-award-winning artist. The Super Bowl half-time show remains one of the event’s main attractions, along with the exhilarating action on the field. Yet, there were controversies regarding Lamar’s performance.

The issue about the half-time show stemmed from the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The Canadian rapper’s ex-GF and tennis legend Serena Williams also did the crip walk during the show. She was excited, even claiming it was one of the best she ever did in her life, far better than her 2012 Wimbledon stunt.

The talks that a New Orleans rapper should perform were already huge. Lamar’s performance breaking records has miffed the haters. She also targeted her haters.

Travis Kelce’s ex-GF shares cryptic love messages

Haters have often targeted Kayla Nicole for trying to stay in the limelight using her. But she tried to set things straight through her cryptic IG stories. She first shared a screenshot of the 1997 film Love Jones, starring Larenz Tate and Nia Long. It shows a couple that struggles in their daily lives, but dates for some time, and then moves on.

She then shared another IG story of the 1992 blockbuster Pretty Women, featuring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. It had a totally opposite theme, with both lovers trying to know each other and later helping each other to improve their lives. But she didn’t post any special message with it. Just screenshots? Was it a shot at Travis Kelce’s GF, Taylor Swift? Who knows?

The athlete is disappointed. He had a splendid chance at a 3-peat. But the curse hit the Chiefs hard. The Eagles humbled them, winning comfortably by 40-22. But, the rumors are that he and Swift want to take their relationship to the next level. Nicole’s reaction would be worth watching. It would be interesting to see how this unfolds.
