During the concert, Kendrick’s fans passionately sang along to “Not Like Us,” showcasing their support. One particularly pointed moment came when Lamar altered the lyrics of “Euphoria” to further taunt Drake. He sang:

“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man? / ‘Cause I ain’t see him yet / Give me Tupac’s ring back and I might give you a lil’ respect.”

This was a tweak from the original lyric:

“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man? / ‘Cause I ain’t see him yet / Matter of fact I ain’t even bleed him yet, can I bleed him?”

The Juneteenth concert, streamed live on Prime Video and Amazon Music’s Twitch channel, featured not just Kendrick Lamar but also appearances from other notable artists including his supergroup Black Hippy, Roddy Ricch, Ty Dolla $ign, Steve Lacy, and Tyler, The Creator.

Kendrick Lamar’s performance has undoubtedly left fans buzzing and speculating about the ongoing feud with Drake. The night’s events have added a new chapter to their rivalry, highlighting Lamar’s ability to captivate and provoke both his audience and his musical adversaries.
