Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show has sparked 125 complaints to the Federal Communications Commission.

Some viewers criticized the show for inappropriate lyrics, dance moves, and anti-American themes, while others were upset over his ongoing feud with rapper Drake being included in the performance.

Lamar’s performance, which attracted over 133.5 million viewers, featured some of his biggest hits, including “DNA,” “Humble,” and “Not Like Us”—his diss track aimed at Drake.

Tennis legend Serena Williams made a brief appearance during the performance, but her “Crip-walking” dance move led to complaints that she was promoting gang culture.
