Kendrick Lamar Gets 2-Minute Ovation After Performing ‘Not Like Us’ in Drake’s Hometown

By Ethan DC | June 14, 2025

In a moment that’s already being called legendary, Kendrick Lamar just sent shockwaves through the rap world—again.

During his highly anticipated Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert in Los Angeles, Kendrick performed his viral diss track “Not Like Us” live for the very first time. But the headline moment came when the crowd gave him a two-minute standing ovation—right in the heart of Drake’s hometown, Toronto.

Yes, that Toronto.

The energy was electric. Thousands of fans erupted as the beat dropped, and by the end of the track, the sold-out crowd was on its feet, roaring with approval. Phones were out. Social media exploded. Even fellow artists in the VIP section were seen nodding with respect.

The song, which many have dubbed the "final nail" in Kendrick and Drake’s ongoing lyrical feud, has been dominating charts, memes, and conversations since its release. With lines calling out everything from industry hypocrisy to personal shots at the 6 God himself, Not Like Us isn’t just a diss track—it’s a cultural moment.

A Moment Bigger Than Music

To perform that track in Drake’s backyard, and to get that kind of response, is something rap hasn’t seen in years. It’s not just about beef anymore. It’s about shifting power in real time.

Critics and fans alike are calling this one of the most iconic moments in modern hip-hop. The symbolism of Lamar performing his scathing anthem where Drake reigns supreme speaks volumes—and the applause proved it.

The Internet Reacts

Within minutes, #KendrickInToronto and #NotLikeUsLIVE were trending across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok. Fan videos of the ovation racked up millions of views overnight.

One fan posted:

“That wasn’t a performance, that was a statement. Kendrick owns the summer.”

Another wrote:

“2-minute ovation in Drake’s city? That’s not just rap beef. That’s history.”

What's Next?

As of now, Drake has remained silent. No IG posts. No subtweets. Nothing.

Meanwhile, Kendrick’s tour is selling out faster than ever, and Not Like Us continues to dominate playlists and airwaves alike.

If this moment tells us anything, it’s this: Kendrick Lamar isn’t just winning the battle—he may have just won the war.
