If we’ve learned one thing about Kendrick Lamar over the last year and change it’s that he ain’t never scared when it comes to his drama with Drizzy, so when the man took his and SZA’s Grand National Tour to Drake’s hometown of Toronto, Canada, y’all knew he wasn’t going to play it humble.

Last night (June 12), social media was abuzz with videos of Kendrick Lamar performing at the Rogers Centre in Toronto (a place that even Drake has never performed at) interestingly enough, the crowd went wild when K. Dot performed his now classic diss track “Not Like Us.” While we all know it’s one of the most popular songs to have ever hit the Hip-Hop scene, many thought that Drake’s hometown would’ve been lukewarm to Kendrick Lamar performing his biggest hit to date, but instead, we saw a crowd seemingly rejoice and join in on the festivities as Kung-Fu Kenny once again went for Drake’s jugular on stage in his hometown.

The crowd was in such a frenzy over the performance that they actually started to chant “One more time!” in hopes of getting Kendrick to perform “Not Like Us,” one more time.

Yeah, we’re sure Drizzy wasn’t too happy to see his constituents side with his rap rival to this extent. He might cancel OVO Fest 2025 over this or something.

Still, the man does have his hardcore loyalists who parked themselves outside of the Rogers Centre and took issue with Kendrick Lamar performing and proclaimed Drake the King of the North even though their fellow countrymen were inside the venue egging on Kendrick’s unrelenting slaughter of their hometown hero.

Drake’s about to bless everyone there with exclusive OVO merchandise or something.
