Kendrick Lamar performed on Not Like Us five times: List of guests and other details explained

While The Pop Out: Ken & Friends had a sold-out crowd, it additionally remained on the headlines for featuring a long list of guests that included well-known faces from the hip-hop industry.

The event ended with Kendrick Lamar performing on the diss track, Not Like Us, which was released during his beef with Drake. Lamar rapped the song five times, and he said this during his performance:

"Y'all ain't gonna let anyone disrespect the West Coast, huh? Oh y'all ain't gonna let nobody mock or imitate our legends, huh?"

Kendrick Lamar also changed the lyrics of Euphoria and Not Like Us at one point and performed his verse from the song, Like That, which was a collaboration between him, Future, and Metro Boomin. Apart from this, Lamar's performances on singles, including HUMBLE and Swimming Pools, were loved by the public.

Rappers and singers like Steve Lacy, YG, and Ty Dolla Sign attended the concert. A major highlight of the evening was Dr. Dre's performance, followed by Lamar's collaborations with artists such as Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q.

20+ artists appeared at the concert and while they clicked a picture together, Lamar described it as a form of "unity." He also mentioned:

"Everybody got fallen sons but we're right here, right now celebrating all of them, this sh*t is special."

The concert also marked Kendrick Lamar's first major event after his dispute with Drake. His last album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, came out in 2022 and he has not announced any new project until now.
