Twitch Star Caseoh Sparks Debate: Kendrick Lamar ‘Disgustingly Overrated’

by

As a gaming enthusiast hopping onto my live stream, I’ve found myself smack dab in the middle of an impromptu digital squabble following some strong words about Kendrick Lamar. I bluntly labeled him as “overrated,” sparking quite the discussion online.

At the 2025 Super Bowl, Kendrick Lamar’s act has sparked a heated debate. Some people have commended his innovative dance routines and the inclusion of Samuel L. Jackson to convey a political statement during the intermission.

While some people praise the rapper’s performance as decent, others, including popular Twitch personality Kai Cenat, have criticized it, suggesting that the show was average at best. Furthermore, there were allegations that NFL production added cheers to the performance, as the audience energy was questionable and seemingly lacked enthusiasm.

Over the past few days since the Super Bowl, numerous well-known personalities have shared their opinions about Kendrick. One of these individuals is the growing Twitch sensation, Caseoh.

Caseoh dubs Kendrick Lamar’s music “disgustingly overrated”

In January 2024, the popularity of Caseoh’s Twitch channel skyrocketed, amassing more than 6 million followers due to his heartwarming live streams, familiar atmosphere, and side-splitting responses.

Though he’s usually avoided internet disputes, his recent remarks regarding Kendrick’s music have sparked curiosity and debate on various social platforms.

He compared Kendrick Lamar to Chick-fil-A in a February 2025 broadcast, meaning that while he doesn’t think either one is terrible, he feels they are both undeserving of the high praise they receive.

He emphasized his view that Kendrick Lamar was excessively praised. ‘You like him?’ he asked rhetorically. ‘Sure thing. One hit song with a catchy rhythm and suddenly the whole world adores him. Really now?’

He made it clear that he isn’t a fan of Drake either, adding, “Dude, you could have gone with Lil Wayne instead.

I find Kendrick Lamar similar to Chick-fil-A; both are not terrible per se, but I believe they’re excessively overrated compared to their actual value.

It’s not just Caseoh who feels Lil Wayne should have gotten the Super Bowl halftime slot; in reality, the announcement of Kendrick’s performance sparked strong criticism from Wayne’s fanbase as well as other hip-hop artists such as Nicki Minaj.

Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that Caseoh doesn’t hold a completely unfavorable view of Kendrick’s music. During the live broadcast, he even took time to listen to several tracks from Kendrick’s albums, finding himself appreciative of “Swimming Pools” in particular.

He wondered, ‘Why didn’t his friend choose this track?’ He replied, ‘This song is challenging, I mean, usually your friend isn’t a fan of Kendrick Lamar, but this one seems particularly difficult.’

It’s important to make clear that CaseOh has not developed his feelings towards Kendrick Lamar due to the Drake feud; rather, he’s had reservations about both artists for quite some time. However, following this recent clip, he took a fresh listen to ‘Swimming Pools’ by Kendrick and expressed positivity regarding the track. It seems unfortunate when people criticize someone based on their opinions, don’t you think?

People’s responses to the streamer’s views were quite varied. Some found themselves in agreement with him, whereas others seemed to feel that his viewpoint didn’t hit the mark, as they put it, “he fell short on this occasion.

“So we all agree it should’ve been Lil Wayne, right?” one wrote.

“Might be the worst take I have heard from CaseOh,” another said.

“CaseOh is a great streamer but I’m gonna have to disagree with that,” yet another chimed in.

In summary, Caseoh emphasized that his feelings towards Kendrick Lamar are not influenced by their past disagreement with Drake, a conflict that has been the main point of discussion regarding Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance. This controversy has led to an abundance of jokes and opinions across various platforms.

Other prominent streamers, including xQc and Adin Ross, appear to share similar reservations about Kendrick. They criticize him for prioritizing his feud with Drake over playing his other popular songs during the show.
