Kendrick Lamar Performs “Not Like Us” Live in Toronto, Taking Aim in Drake’s Backyard

Kendrick Lamar recently rocked Drake’s hometown of Toronto on the first night of his Grand National Tour stop.

He didn’t hold back—dropping the heavyweight diss “Not Like Us” to a deafening cheer from the sold-out Rogers Centre audience.

Fans reportedly chanted for an encore and even gave a two-minute standing ovation at the song’s climax.

The performance not only reignited their 2024–2025 feud but also highlighted the cultural punch of the track, which has set streaming records and secured major Grammy awards.

With Drake reportedly livestreaming near the city at the same time, Kendrick’s move felt like an unmissable power play in Canada’s backyard.

Whether you view it as a bold statement or a provocative jab, there’s no doubt this moment will be remembered as a defining clash in hip‑hop rivalry.
