Shortly into the performance review, Kai Cenat made a bold assertion, suggesting that the NFL may have artificially enhanced crowd sounds in the video. Within just two days, the halftime show has amassed a staggering 46.1 million views on YouTube, highlighting its popularity and significance.
?They add crowd effects, I did not know that,? Kai remarked, strongly reiterating his observation.
As the stream progressed, Cenat further claimed that the audience was relatively quiet during parts of the performance that appeared loud on the recording. ?I?m just being honest. I was there,? he insisted. However, he acknowledged that the crowd did react enthusiastically during key moments, such as Kendrick’s entrance, his performance of ?Not Like Us,? SZA’s appearance, and Samuel L. Jackson’s impactful monologue.
?The crowd was not good. They were just not fking with the performance, like, up until ?Not Like Us,’? he elaborated, providing his candid perspective on the audience’s response.
Despite the controversy, neither the NFL nor Apple Music has publicly addressed the claims made by the popular streamer.

Instead of celebrating greatness, some would rather push conspiracy theories for clicks. Y?all love to scream ?for the culture? until it?s time to actually support it.
