Kendrick Lamar and SZA officially launched their highly anticipated co-headlining stadium tour last night in Minneapolis — and K. Dot wasted no time making headlines.
Before performing his explosive Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” Kendrick played a pre-recorded skit that openly mocked his rap rival. The skit trolled Drake’s infamous “Drop, drop, drop” ad-lib and slyly referenced Drizzy’s ongoing legal war with Universal Music Group. It was bold, theatrical, and everything the crowd came for.
The crowd inside the packed stadium erupted, clearly siding with Kendrick as he stood onstage unbothered, victorious, and still razor-sharp.
Many have credited Kendrick’s battle with Drake last summer as a turning point in his commercial trajectory. The lyrical war didn’t just captivate the internet — it expanded Kendrick’s fanbase and helped elevate him into stadium-headlining territory. Now, with SZA by his side, he’s leading a generational tour powered by bars, vision, and unapologetic storytelling.
While Drake has yet to directly respond to the latest jab, the message is clear: Kendrick’s not just rapping anymore — he’s staging theater, commanding stadiums, and shaping the culture.
