Toronto Rapper Top5 Disses The Weeknd After Kendrick Concert

Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out Concert was a resounding success as many guests appeared including former Drake affiliate The Weeknd.

The concert was a testament to Lamar’s status as a dynamic and influential artist, capable of creating memorable experiences that resonate with fans long after the event. The crowd of 17,000, which included The Weeknd, LeBron James, Ayo Edebiri, and Rick Ross, rapped along to every word of the DJ Mustard-produced track. Lamar restarted the song twice after the first verse and performed it in full four times, creating a biting yet jubilant atmosphere.

The audience was treated to a mix of emerging LA rappers and renowned stars such as Tyler, The Creator, Steve Lacy, and YG. When it was his turn to perform, the 37-year-old rapper delivered an intense set with his Black Hippy collaborators Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock. He also performed his Drake diss tracks “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” before being joined on stage by Dr. Dre.

The two West Coast icons performed “Still D.R.E.” and “California Love,” with Dre praising Lamar as “one of the greatest that ever did it.” He then quieted the roaring crowd by calling for a moment of silence, only to surprise them by reciting the “Sixth Sense” quote that opens Lamar’s chart-topping “Not Like Us”: “I see dead people.”
