Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour made a major stop in Toronto this week, packing out the Rogers Centre as fans showed up in full force to witness the Compton rapper’s highly anticipated set. According to reports, Kendrick became the first rapper to sell out multiple nights at the massive arena — a major feat, especially in the hometown of his current rival, Drake.
On Thursday night, Kendrick delivered a fiery performance of his Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” prompting the crowd to chant for an encore. While he didn’t give in to the request that night, Kendrick returned on Friday and ran the track back — much to the crowd’s delight.
Videos from the shows quickly went viral, including one clip showing fans C-walking in the stands. DJ Akademiks reposted the footage, sarcastically writing, “lol… which part of Toronto these mans from?” In a move that caught fans' attention, Drake liked the post, sparking a wave of reactions online. Some laughed at the moment while others saw it as subtle shade.
Between record-breaking attendance, viral moments, and bold diss tracks, Kendrick's Toronto stop is already being called one of the most iconic live rap moments of the year.
