Kendrick Lamar Performs 'Not Like Us' In Toronto & Fans Beg For An Encore, Social Media Piles On
Kendrick Lamar may have been the winner in his spring 2024 beef with Drake, but a year later, he's still pouring salt in the wound.
He's currently traveling around the country for his Grand National Tour with SZA, but last night he went north of the border, taking the show to Drake's hometown of Toronto.
During his set at Rogers Centre, he, of course, had to perform the creep anthem directed at Drake, 'Not Like Us.' After Thursday night's show, social videos immediately show Kendrick's other diss-related tracks, including 'Like That' and 'Euphoria,' as pyrotechnics ignited atop the stage, and the crowd can be heard singing along. Fans even begged K.Dot to perform an encore of 'Not Like Us,' but he didn't oblige, instead moving on down the setlist.
The performance went off without a hitch, with no special antics while on his foe's home turf, but ironically enough, he's got another Toronto show planned for tonight, which happens to be Friday the 13th.
After that, he has two more East Coast shows before taking the tour overseas, with approximately 20 more shows in Germany, England, Spain, Italy, and concluding in August in Sweden. Then there are two more Australian shows scheduled for December.
There's not much Drake could do to interfere with Kendrick's victory lap, though he did attempt to divert some of the attention away by scheduling a stream with Kai Cenat.
It was rescheduled at the last minute, as they were supposed to select the fan winners of the 'Somebody Who Loves Me' music video contest. They linked up to give fans the chance to write treatments and send samples of how they'd direct the video, with 20 lucky submissions getting selected and receiving $15,000 each.
'We need more time with the treatments for somebody who loves me,' Cenat wrote on his Instagram Story Thursday. 'So we are pushing the stream back a few more days. Apologies.'

Sydney Sweeney has no fear of filming nude scenes as she highlights body transformation for role
Sydney Sweeney has no fear of acting in the nude. "I don't get nervous," the 27-year-old actress recently told W Magazine. "I think that the female body is a very powerful thing. And I'm telling my character's story, so I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done." Sweeney appeared nude in both the first season of "Euphoria" and in the 2021 thriller "The Voyeurs." Sydney Sweeney Catapults From Supporting Actress To Hollywood 'It Girl' While Sweeney has been outspoken about her choice to film nude and how it relates to female empowerment, she claimed nobody took her seriously in "Euphoria" because she "got naked." Read On The Fox News App "With 'The White Lotus,' I felt like people were finally recognizing the hard work I've been doing. This is something that has bothered me for a while," Sweeney told The Independent in 2022. "I'm very proud of my work in 'Euphoria.' I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked. I do 'The White Lotus' and all of a sudden critics are paying attention. I was like, 'Did you not see that in 'Euphoria?' Did you not see that in 'The Handmaid's Tale'?" Sweeney further explained at the time that she believes there is "a stigma against actresses who get naked on screen." "When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it's completely different," she said. Sydney Sweeney Slams Online Body-shamers As She Transforms Herself For Role As Professional Boxer App Users Click Here To View The Instagram Post Sweeney has proven her commitment to telling a character's story, even gaining 30 pounds for her role as Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. "I loved it. I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney explained to W magazine. "I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." "My body was completely different," she added. "I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." Sydney Sweeney Slams Hollywood's 'Women Empowering Other Women' Message As 'Fake' Sweeney's work ethic while filming the Martin biopic was praised by the film's co-writer and director. "Martin put female boxing on the map in the mid-'90s," David Michôd explained. "She was the first woman fighter on the cover of Sports Illustrated and fought on the Mike Tyson undercard. Her husband was also her trainer, and then, after her success, he tried to murder her. Our film is a wild mix of inspiring underdog sports-world story and personal saga." "Sydney trained her butt off to play the part," he continued. "The beauty of Sydney is that she turned up to work every day with her tail wagging, ready to go. No matter how tough it was, she was like a ray of sunshine." Like What You're Reading?

Adam Scott's Strange Practice Routine Unveiled amid US Open Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Saturday was moving day at the U.S. Open, and Adam Scott took full advantage. The 44-year-old Australian surged up the leaderboard, firing a 3-under 67 at Oakmont Country Club. Currently, he sits just one shot behind leader Sam Burns, heading into the weekend round. It was a vintage performance from Scott, who has somehow only one major championship to his name despite his immense talent. His round started with a bogey on the first hole, but he quickly rebounded, collecting four birdies, including a clutch stretch on 13, 14, and 17. His composed play has put him in the final pairing on Sunday, where he'll battle Burns, who is chasing his first major title.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) More Getty Images Adam Scott's weird practice round revealed As Scott prepares for the final showdown, a viral video has added much more interest in his golf swing. Jason Day, currently sitting T21 at 5-over, spotted Scott's unusual practice routine and couldn't help but share it. "Okay, next time you see Adam on the range, watch him," Day told Dan Rapaport from Scratch. "He goes like this," Day said, imitating Scott's swing move, "and then he... Behind the back? Every single shot." Did you know Adam Scott had this practice habit? 🤔 He's T-2 heading into the final round of the U.S. Open. — Skratch (@Skratch) June 14, 2025 Rapaport, intrigued, asked if Scott had been doing this since childhood. "I don't know, I don't know... I asked him that one time and he's like he didn't even know he was doing it," Day replied. Scott's quirky swing habit isn't the first of its kind. Jim Furyk, known for his looping, unconventional swing, has built a career around his unique mechanics. Matthew Wolff, another player with an unorthodox takeaway, has also drawn attention for his distinctive motion. But no doubt, Adam Scott's swing was the coolest! If Scott wins at Oakmont, he'll set a new record for the longest gap between first and second major wins—12 years since his 2013 Masters victory, where he defeated Ángel Cabrera in a playoff.

Adam Scott of Australia looks on while playing the ninth hole during the second round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 13, 2025 in Oakmont, U.S. Open history, however, has been less dominant, with his best finish coming in 2015 (T4 at Chambers Bay). Scott spoke about his determination to chase another major, calling his approach "old man's golf" but emphasizing his passion for competing at the highest level. "It would be super fulfilling," Scott said of a potential second major. "Everyone out here has got their journey, you know. Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke. It's not easy to do it. I really haven't been in this kind of position for five or six years, or feeling like I'm that player. But that's what I'm always working towards. It's not that easy to figure it all out." Now, with one round to go, Scott has a chance to rewrite history. He'll tee off in the final pairing on Sunday, looking to add a U.S. Open trophy to his resume and prove that experience still matters in golf's toughest test.
