A performer in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was detained after holding up a flag with the words “Sudan” and “Gaza” written on it. Zül-Qarnain Nantambu, 41, wanted to highlight the human suffering of Palestinians and said he hopes his act will motivate others to speak out against atrocities in the region. The NFL banned him from all stadiums and events for life, but New Orleans Police did not press charges. President Trump recently warned Hamas about releasing hostages, sparking concerns over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Nantambu’s protest was inspired by his Islamic faith and Lamar’s political performance, which used symbolism to convey messages of revolution and consciousness.
