Viewers complained about Lamar's explicit language, obscene dance moves, and the use of anti-American themes. A significant number of people also found it unacceptable that Lamar attempted to attack his arch-rival Drake, using the show to settle personal scores.
It's worth noting that Serena Williams, who also participated in Lamar's show, faced criticism for her involvement in "gang activities" and promoting "gang affiliation" due to the display of elements associated with the Los Angeles neighborhood of Compton. This area is known for its gangs and is the hometown of both Williams and Kendrick Lamar.
It should be added that given the total audience of 133.5 million who watched Lamar's halftime show, the 125 complaints seem rather insignificant.
