Kendrick Lamar had Los Angeles on its head on Juneteenth! And there were plenty of familiar celebrity faces enjoying the show, from LeBron James to Russell Westbrook and DJ Mustard. Keep scrolling to see some of the top viral moments from the concert, including Lamar performing his Drake diss ‘Not Like Us’ at least FIVE times!
For a lil’ bit of context, K. Dot took the stage at the Forum in Los Angeles for his three-hour “Pop Out” concert. Amazon produced the show, while Twitch live-streamed it. His show seemed to be a collective of celebrating LA culture, promoting unity, and doubling down on his “hate” for Drizzy.
The ‘Swimming Pools’ artist kicked off his set with the first full diss he released against Drake on April 30, titled ‘Euphoria.’ At the time, Drake had already clapped back at the shots Kenny fired on Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘Like That.’
Variety reports that Dot added a new lyric to ‘Euphoria’ during his performance. “Give me Tupac’s ring back, and I might give you a little respect,” he rapped.
Speaking of ‘Like That,’ he also performed that song and one of his other disses, ‘6:16 In LA.’ However, he closed the show with the fan-favorite diss, ‘Not Like Us.’ This marked the first time Kenny has performed any of his disses live.
As mentioned, though, Lamar ran the track back a reported five to six times, and the audience ate it up! Videos show the audience completing the lyrics for the singer without missing a beat.
“I promise you this won’t be the last of us,” Kendrick said as he left the stage to the ‘Not Like Us’ instrumental, per The Associated Press.
