According to ESPN, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu (41) recently surrendered himself to authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
During Lamar’s halftime show at the Caesars Superdome on February 9, Nantambu “deviated from his assigned role” as a performer by climbing on top of a prop 1987 Buick GNX and displaying a combination of the Sudanese and Palestinian flags to protest what critics argue are separate genocides taking place in both countries.
Nantambu then jumped down from the car and was chased across the field by law enforcement before being wrestled to the ground.

While New Orleans police had originally decided not to bring charges against him, Louisiana State Police have since taken over the investigation and announced Thursday that Nantambu is now facing charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly.
Shortly after the event, Nantambu did an interview on the In Depth With Deon Podcast, where he explained how he felt “inspired” to “take a stance and bring awareness to others” about the suffering taking place in Sudan and Gaza.
