Performer Who Interrupted Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show Found Guilty of Resisting Officer
A jury found Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu guilty of resisting an officer after he ran across the field with a protest flag.
- On Monday, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu was found guilty of resisting an officer stemming from his disruption of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime performance at the Caesars Superdome.
- During the February 9, 2025, performance, Nantambu deviated from his assigned role and ran across the field with a flag reading "Sudan and Free Gaza," ignoring commands to stop from Louisiana State Police.
- Chief Judge Juana Marine-Lombard presided over the trial, finding Nantambu guilty of the misdemeanor resisting charge but acquitting him of disturbing the peace at the Orleans Parish Justice Center.
- The NFL issued a lifetime ban against Nantambu following the conviction, and Attorney General Murrill stated her office appreciates the court's decision to hold him accountable for resisting law enforcement.
- Nantambu faces a June 1 sentencing hearing where he could receive up to $500 in fines and up to 6 months in prison, while also involved in a separate May 2025 shooting case in Miami where former NFL player Antonio Brown faces attempted murder charges.
