During the opening night at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kendrick continued his Drake feud as he trolled the Toronto rapper before performing “Not Like Us.” In a skit, Kendrick is sitting with a person, who appears to be an attorney, who asks him: “Does this ring a bell? Drop, drop, drop, drop,” referencing Drake’s diss track.
At the show, two Drizzy featured songs were also played, which includes Kendrick’s “Poetic Justice”, and SZA’s “Rich Baby Daddy.”
