Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated performance in Toronto on Thursday evening saw the rapper take centre stage in the heart of Drake's hometown, sparking a two-minute standing ovation. Lamar’s show marked his first concert in the city since his feud with Drake escalated last year.
While many fans hoped for some drama or an on-stage confrontation, Lamar chose to focus on the music, staying above the fray. As the concert neared its close, Lamar performed his diss track "Not Like Us," which was seen as a direct jab at Drake.
The track, which has been at the centre of their public conflict, caused an uproar among fans, with many shouting along to its sharp lyrics. Following the performance, Lamar soaked in the crowd’s applause for two minutes.
While the rivalry between Lamar and Drake loomed large, the concert wasn't entirely about the feud.
As fans flocked to the Rogers Centre, some hoped for a surprise appearance from Drake, with speculation about a potential reconciliation growing. However, the night passed without any notable interactions between the two.
Meanwhile, fans of both Drake and Lamar were also anticipating a livestream featuring Drake and popular internet personality Kai Cenat, which was later postponed. Cenat revealed that the stream, originally scheduled for Thursday, would be delayed due to "logistical constraints." Fans took to social media, expressing disappointment at the last-minute change.
