Despite everything, some protestors have still managed to maintain their sense of humour. At a demonstration in Los Angeles on Tuesday (June 2nd), just one of the many nationwide efforts to fight against police brutality and systemic racism, comedian Everett Byram took the opportunity to parody Kendall Jenner's famously mocked and later revoked 2017 Super Bowl Pepsi commercial.

As you are likely well aware, in the now-infamous ad, the model opts to ditch a photo shoot in order to join a march taking place on the street. It's not clear what the protest is for, but regardless, Kendall takes part, and ultimately hands a police officer a can of Pepsi as a peace offering. The commercial was widely criticized for its tone-deaf portrayal of protestors' relationship with police as well as its oversimplification of activism.

However, Everett, like many in the years since the ad aired, found the humour in the absurdity of this ridiculous gesture, and decided to try it out for real. In a clip from the L.A. protest, Everett can be seen handing an LAPD officer a can of Pepsi.

“Hey, you guys, like a Kardashian over here," he says. "Hey, look, it’s a Pepsi, you want a Pepsi? Have it! Have a Pepsi, dude!” After the officer declines his offer, Everett exclaims, “But it helped in the commercial!" The cop responds, “I don’t drink soda."

In another instance, a protestor attempted to use Kendall's strategy by approaching a line-up of police officers in full riot gear, his arm outstretched holding a bottle of Pepsi. "I can’t believe someone actually did it," a Twitter user wrote in the caption.

Following Shakira and Jennifer Lopez's Super Bowl halftime performance, Ohio preacher Dave Baubenmire issued a statement in which he threatened legal action against the NFL all over the pairing's appearance onstage. He would describe it as a "strip club performance" that contributed "to the delinquency of a minor."

His sentiments represented a percentage of viewers who found J-Lo and Shakira's performance to be suggestive and in contrast to the "family-friendly" nature of the Super Bowl. Now, a week removed from the memorable appearance, Lopez has responded to critics of her performance.

"I think that’s honestly silliness," Lopez tells Variety. "Both of us are really respectful performers who are moms and have kids and are very conscious of what we do. We (put on) a show that I believe was a celebration of women and our Latino culture that I think was really well reserved."

Notably, Jennifer was joined onstage with her daughter and a multicultural children's choir while the entire performance echoed the two singer's Latin roots.

"That small faction of people who want to be negative about it, I can’t even let in," Lopez added. "The message of standing up for yourself, being a women — that’s what I want to pass on to little girls — everything about you — be proud of it. I’m very proud of the performance that night."

Two of music’s most prominent female voices will finally be united, as iconic rapstress Missy Elliott and new age R&B sensation H.E.R. will star in a Super Bowl LIV commercial together in promotion of the new Pepsi Zero Sugar drink.

Boasting all the core qualities of Pepsi minus the sugar intake, Pepsi Zero Sugar is sure to score big amongst those who love that crisp taste of cola. How H.E.R. and Missy fit into the mix is still under wraps, but what we do know so far is that it’ll be a 30-second ad set to air during commercial breaks as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs go at it for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy on February 2 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The carbonated drink with also debut with a new look, sporting a trendy matte black can as seen in the official announcement posted by both ladies on social media (seen above). Whatever it ends up being, let’s just hope we get some sort of new music out of it as well. 

Stay tuned for the full reveal of Missy Elliott and H.E.R.’s Super Bowl LIV commercial to promote Pepsi Zero Sugar. In the meantime, listen to a preview of the latest musical offerings from both ladies below:
