During Kendrick Lamar’s history-making performance at this year’s annual league championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the rapper was joined by a 400-strong cast of dancers and models.

Towards the end of the performance on February 9, one of the dancers unfurled the Palestinian flag with the words “Sudan” and “Gaza” written on it. He then jumped off the stage and ran across the field, waving the flag around.

The unidentified man was chased down by security before finally being tackled to the ground and escorted off the field. It was reported that he would not face any charges over the stunt but was subsequently banned for life from attending any NFL games.

While appearing as a guest on TNT’s NBA Tip-Off to chat with hosts Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith, Chance The Rapper opened up about his thoughts on the Super Bowl.
