American rapper Kendrick Lamar stirred up his ongoing feud with Drake at a recent pop-out concert held at The Forum in Los Angeles.
The Compton rapper took the opportunity to perform his acclaimed diss tracks ‘Not Like Us’ and ‘Euphoria’, much to the excitement of the audience.
During the event on June 19, 2024, Kendrick Lamar electrified fans with multiple renditions of ‘Not Like Us’, a track that has become a standout in the rivalry between the two artists.
The song, which has garnered significant attention and set streaming records on platforms like Spotify, had the crowd enthusiastically singing along with every word.
Not stopping there, Lamar used his performance of ‘Euphoria’ to deliver a pointed message to Drake.
He cleverly altered the lyrics, exchanging a line to directly address the Canadian rapper about returning a ring reportedly purchased for $1 million.
This move came after Drake had used AI to incorporate verses from iconic figures like 2Pac and Snoop Dogg in his diss track ‘Taylormade Freestyle’, where he criticized Lamar’s place in the legacy of Compton rap legends.
Lamar’s homage to 2Pac was evident throughout the night, with the rapper citing 2Pac as a major influence on his own career.
This influence was showcased when Lamar joined Dr. Dre on stage to perform 2Pac’s classic hit ‘California Love’, adding a layer of depth and significance to the evening’s performances.
