Kendrick Lamar performs Drake diss track five times


Kendrick Lamar hosted a star-studded concert in Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Wednesday, intended as a show of unity for the West Coast rap fraternity.

More than 20 musicians made guest appearances, including Dr Dre, Roddy Ricch, Ty Dolla $ign, Tyler The Creator and Steve Lacy.

But the highlight of the night was the live debut of Lamar's song Not Like Us - an eviscerating take-down of Canadian star Drake, which brought their long-running feud to a decisive end last month.

Encouraged by the crowd, Lamar played the song five times, with each performance more explosive than the last.

"Y’all ain’t gonna let nobody disrespect the West Coast, huh?" he asked, as the set drew to a close.

"Oh y’all ain’t gonna let nobody mock or imitate our legends, huh?", he added, referring to Drake's decision to use AI versions of Tupac and Snoop Dogg's vocals on his song, Taylor Made Freestyle.

  Celtics Take Game 1 Led by Brown and White's Scoring Spree 3 33 The Boston Celtics took control of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a dominant 120-95 victory in Game 1 on Tuesday night. The win was fueled by a balanced offensive attack, with both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White putting on a scoring clinic. Brown, known for his explosive scoring ability, led the Celtics with 32 points. He displayed confidence throughout the game, reminiscent of Golden State's sharpshooter Stephen Curry, even draining a three-pointer from the top of the key and turning away before it swished through the net. "I had it rolling tonight," Brown said after the game. "You just want to come out and make the right plays, make the right reads. That's all it is. Playing through your teammates and playing with confidence." 3 33 While Brown's scoring prowess is no surprise, it was Derrick White's performance that truly op...
