Halftime Show Draws 125 FCC Complaints
… A Few Drake Feud Gripes
Published
Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl halftime show had some viewers wanting to turn their TV off to the point of writing to the FCC about it … with complaints being made about inappropriate lyrics, raunchy dance moves and apparent anti-American themes — and a few even taking issue with the Drake beef getting thrown into it.
TMZ Sports obtained all 125 complaints sent to the Federal Communications Commission following K. Dot’s Feb. 9 performance … and the overwhelming majority of them felt it was far from a family-friendly experience.
Many in the bunch accused Kendrick of having a potty mouth, only using Black performers and being divisive with his set … with several making note of the split American flag visual at one point in the show.
There were plenty of gripes about crotch-grabbing moves throughout the performance as well.
At least ten of the complaints were specifically pissed about Kendrick using his platform to go after his arch nemesis, Drizzy — with one even going as far as claiming he used the moment to focus on a “personal vendetta.”
Critics wrote Kendrick accused Drake of straight-up being a pedophile during his rendition of “Not Like Us” … with one saying, “Kendrick lamar made fake false and scandalous claims that are unfounded. He sd drake was a pedophile on TV in front of million of ppl, do better, this is a sad day.”
Kendrick wasn’t the only one targeted — Serena Williams was scolded for being involved and promoting “gang affiliation” … and there were two complaints about Kanye West‘s commercial that aired in three markets.
Worth noting … Kendrick’s show was reportedly viewed by 133.5 MILLION people — and if only 125 of them took time out of their day to write to the FCC, we take it he doesn’t care one bit.
But for those keeping score at home, Rihanna‘s show in 2024 resulted in just over 100 complaints … and Jennifer Lopez and Shakira‘s halftime raked in more than 1,300 in 2020.
‘LIB’s Mark Anthony Cuevas
My Marriage to Aubrey Rainey is Over …
But That’s News To Her!!!
Published
“Love is Blind” star Mark Anthony Cuevas dropped a bomb on Instagram overnight … that his marriage to Aubrey Rainey was over — but it seems he forgot to tell her!
In his message, Mark said the couple had made the decision to split “a few weeks ago,” but they would continue to co-parent and focus on their two children.
But … it seems like he forgot to share that huge update with someone important before posting to the world … namely, Aubrey — who replied in the comments … “This is news to me. lol.”
Needless to say, other commentors started blowing Mark up, demanding to know why he would post something like that if Aubrey truly was unaware or was not ready for the news to be public.

As you may recall … Mark appeared on the first season of “Love is Blind,” but he met Aubrey afterward — the 2 eventually married and had 2 sons together. They were also getting death threats back in 2021, which Mark addressed on his socials at the time.
Let’s hope Aubrey gets future updates on the marriage ending BEFORE the rest of the internet!

Jake Paul just got engaged to his speed skater girlfriend Jutta Leerdam … and even though they might not see eye-to-eye at the moment, Canelo Alvarez has some valuable advice for the soon-to-be Problem Husband!!
Alvarez has been with Fernanda Gomez since 2016 … and the two officially tied the knot in 2021.
They’ve been thriving together ever since … so, when TMZ Sports mentioned Paul’s proposal this week, the 62-2 boxer gave Paul some helpful tips on how they can go the distance, too!!
“All the best for him and all the best for his girlfriend,” Alvarez said, “Patience and good love in relationship.”
Paul has had to learn about patience recently … as he THOUGHT he was close to finally fighting the Mexican superstar, but the talks crumbled.
When we asked if the two will ever actually meet in the ring, Alvarez gave a response Paul won’t like to hear.
“I never say no, because you never know what happens next,” Alvarez said. “But as an official fighter, no, I don’t think so.”
OCTOBER 2024

What Alvarez DOES plan on doing is fighting the current IBF super middleweight champion William Scull on May 3 at The Venue Riyadh Season, Riyadh.
Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) is entering the bout with a lot of confidence, but Alvarez expects that from every boxer he goes up against.
“He’s a good fighter, Cuban-style, and he’s gonna be a complicated fight … but I fought everybody out there, I fight every style out there, and I can adapt myself to anything.”
Canelo also shares his thoughts on when he could hang up his gloves … and his answer on retirement might surprise you.
