Kendrick Lamar’s feud with Drake intensified during his pop-out show in Los Angeles on June 19, 2024, where he performed diss tracks ‘Not Like Us’ and ‘Euphoria’. The event, held at The Forum, saw Lamar perform ‘Not Like Us’ five times to an enthusiastic crowd, reinforcing the song’s popularity and record-breaking streaming success on Spotify.<\/p>\n

During his performance of ‘Euphoria’, Lamar modified the lyrics to send a direct message to Drake: “Give me Tupac\u2019s ring back and I might give you a little respect.” This remark references Drake’s purchase of 2Pac’s ring for $1 million, which he flaunted in the music video for his Kendrick Lamar diss track ‘Family Matters’.<\/p>\n

Billboard reports that Drake has boasted about the ring, even using AI to feature 2Pac and Snoop Dogg in his diss track ‘Taylormade Freestyle’, where he called Lamar a disappointment to Compton rap legends. Lamar, who considers 2Pac a major influence, underscored his connection to the late rapper by performing ‘California Love’ with Dr. Dre during the show.<\/p>\n

Kendrick Lamar’s latest performance adds another chapter to his high-profile feud with Drake, continuing to fuel discussions about its impact on their careers and the hip-hop scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
