SZA is accused of 'lip-syncing' during Super Bowl 2025 performance - after Kendrick Lamar took savage swipe at singer's ex-boyfriend Drake

Viewers have accused SZA of 'lip-syncing' during her Super Bowl 2025 performance with Kendrick Lamar on Sunday night.

The singer, 35, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, joined the rapper in the halftime show to sing their hits Luther and All The Stars.

But fans have said her lip-syncing was 'so obvious' as they took to X, to share their views, with some comments writing: 'yes SZA lip sync for your life❤️',

'The mix was TERRIBLE. If you listen back to it on Apple Music now, they fixed the mix. Dot was mumbling & the mic level was way too low. Also SZA was all lip sync',

'sza lip sync was soo obvious n i’m naive but cmon now',

'Why did Sza lip sync that superbowl performance? ☠️', 

'Sza didn’t even lip sync right lemme show her', 

'Okay but SZA lil lip sync for your life ATE',

'sza my lip sync queen dw i still love u twin', 

MailOnline have contacted SZA's representatives for a comment. 

Kendrick continued to take a savage swipe at SZA's ex-boyfriend Drake.

After dating Drake in 2009 and again in 2023, SZA still choose to go on stage with his rival Kendrick. 

The Grammy winner showcased his lyrical prowess as he started out the performance on top of a car before taking a swipe at his hip hop rival Drake, 38.

Despite Drake recently suing his and Lamar's record label, Universal Music Group, over the controversial diss song, Not Like Us, which calls Drake a 'certified pedophile', Kendrick still performed the song, however, he omitted the word.

It seems the musician opted not to say the word so as not to trigger another lawsuit, as right before he started rapping he told the crowd, 'I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.' 

SZA dated global superstar Drake in 2009, but claimed the relationship 'wasn't hot and heavy or anything'.

SZA confirmed her brief relationship with Drake again in October 2023 but downplayed its seriousness, according to the news website Complex.

In 2022, SZA addressed her current status with Drake while speaking with Audacy, saying, 'We're cool. And we've always been cool. It's never been weird,' via JustJared.

Drake previously mentioned SZA in his lyrics on the 2020 track Mr. Right Now, which features 21 Savage. 

The 33-year-old songstress added, 'Anytime he's ever mentioned me, it's always been positive.

'He's never said anything negative about me. I'm grateful for that. I think highly of him... He's King Drake,' she said.
