One of the many highlights from the event was Kenny performing “Not Like Us” for the first time live in front of a sold-out crowd. Not only that, K-Dot performed the Drake diss track five times.
Additionally, fans witnessed a Black Hippy reunion with K-Dot, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. Also, mid-way through his rendition of “Euphoria,” Kenny added some lyrics and expanded on a bar to diss Drake again.
“I’m knowin’ they call you The Boy, but where is a man?/’Cause I ain’t see him yet/Give me Tupac ring back and I might give you a lil’ respect,” Kendrick rapped.
The original lyric was: “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?”
