Sen. Blackburn Blasted over AI Video of Her, GOP Candidates Dancing to Kendrick Lamar Song

The clip features Blackburn and other Tennessee Republicans in an AI recreation of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance, drawing sharp criticism online.

  • On Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn posted an AI-generated video depicting herself dancing to Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." The clip mimics Lamar's 2025 Super Bowl performance and features fellow Tennessee Republicans as backup dancers.
  • The video mimics Lamar's 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, a performance many MAGA pundits previously criticized as "Satanic" and "absolute trash." Blackburn's post, captioned "Tomorrow," appears to promote the start of early voting.
  • Critics on social media mocked the clip, calling it an "AI cringe fest" and questioning the irony of using music from an artist Blackburn previously criticized during 2007 congressional hearings on rap music.
  • Blackburn's gubernatorial opponent, Tennessee state Rep. Jerri Green, condemned the video, stating, "When I say please stop using AI to support our campaign, this is what I mean."
  • While Blackburn holds a polling advantage in the race to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Bill Lee, the video sparked widespread ridicule, with some observers calling for Lamar to issue a cease-and-desist letter.
