Kendrick Lamar brought the heat at his ‘Pop Out Ken & Friends’ concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth, where he didn’t just perform his Drake diss-track ‘Not Like Us’—he laid it on thick, performing the song five times back to back, to roaring crowd approval.

Echoes of “Let me hear you say O-V-Hoe!” reverberated through the stadium as fans jumped aboard the Drake hate train, turning the night into a celebration of Lamar and the black community.

Strategically scheduled on June 19 on the day Black Americans celebrate the end of slavery, Lamar’s event was a bold statement that Drake is “not like us”—and the crowd loved every minute of it.

Joined onstage by stars like Russell Westbrook and DJ Mustard, Lamar’s crew showed solidarity against Drake, vibing to lyrics that cut deep into Drake’s alleged paedophilia and black identity.

Even Drake’s arch-rival Rick Ross couldn’t resist soaking in the vibe on the hate train, flashing a grin that said it all after their recent public feud. No one was surprised to witness Ross’s look of sheer satisfaction.

In a unifying display, Crips and Blood gang members embraced each other on stage, dancing on Drake’s ‘grave’ having lost the most epic rap battle in recent years.

The concert, streamed live by Amazon Music, was a massive success, reaffirming Lamar’s status as a hip-hop icon who never fails to pack arenas and stir up the internet. The lineup, including YG, Schoolboy Q, and Tyler the Creator, ensured a night of non-stop bangers that kept the energy sky-high.

“Get it through your head Drake”…is what it felt like

Performing ‘Not Like Us’ five times in a row, Lamar had the crowd reciting every bar, ensuring the diss track’s message hit home with maximum impact (Especially with that hard-hitting ‘A-Minor bar’). As fans left the venue, they kept the buzz alive, chanting the song acapella and sparking a fresh wave of Drake memes across social media.

Social media reignited memes of Drake, and the rap beef is back in the conversation even though we all thought it was laid to rest back in May.

Many seem to believe Kendrick Lamar is dissatisfied with the anticlimactic end of what felt like the rap battle of this era.

Was Lamar fanning the rap beef flames, or simply giving fans what they craved—a fiery, anti-Drake concert?

Whatever the answer, one thing’s for sure: Kendrick Lamar knows how to throw a party with a purpose, and this one was unforgettable.
