Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, was charged with two misdemeanors on Thursday, nearly four and a half months after his unauthorized protest during the Super Bowl halftime show. On February 9, he ran onto the field at the Superdome waving a flag that read “Sudan and Free Gaza” during Kendrick Lamar’s performance. Louisiana State Police reported that Nantambu turned himself in to face charges of resisting arrest and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly. He coordinated his surrender with his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.
Nantambu, who was hired as an extra performer, had permission to be on the field but was not authorized to stage a demonstration. Following the incident, he was detained on the field but initially faced no charges. However, the NFL announced that he would be banned for life from all league stadiums and events. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy expressed gratitude to the investigators for their efforts, emphasizing the seriousness with which the NFL views disruptions during events, including halftime shows. McCarthy stated, “We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
