A protester carrying a Palestinian flag was detained after disrupting Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, USA. During the show at Caesars Superdome on Sunday, the individual jumped onto a car that was part of Lamar’s set. Security quickly intervened and escorted the protester off the field, allowing the game to continue without delay.

According to Al Jazeera report, The New Orleans Police Department, in a statement quoted by the Associated Press, confirmed they are investigating the incident and determining possible charges.

The protester believed to be part of the production cast, was dressed similarly to the dancers and flag bearers in Lamar’s performance. The flag they carried had "Gaza" and "Sudan" written on it.

Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson, along with artists Kendrick Lamar and SZA, was also on stage when the incident occurred. However, the production continued seamlessly, and the television broadcast quickly cut away from the protester, showing only a brief glimpse of the disruption in the background.

Philadelphia Eagles trash Kansas City Chief

The Philadelphia Eagles got their long-awaited revenge on Sunday night. Two years after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, the Eagles turned the tables with a dominant 40-22 victory to claim the Super Bowl LIX title.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP for his outstanding performance. This rematch between the Eagles and Chiefs came after their thrilling showdown two years ago, where Kansas City secured a narrow 38-35 win.

For the Chiefs, this was their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, having won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.

This marked the Eagles’ second Super Bowl appearance in three years and their fifth in franchise history. They previously won their first and only Super Bowl title in 2018. Had the Chiefs won, they would have made history as the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls
