Kendrick Lamar Hilariously Trolls Drake’s ‘Drop Drop’ Ad-Lib Before Performing ‘Not Like Us’ During Grand National Tour Opener
Kendrick Lamar isn’t done sending shots, and he proved it in spectacular fashion during the opening night of his Grand National Tour in Minnesota.
With a packed crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium and fellow TDE star SZA joining the lineup, Kendrick made it clear that the rap beef with Drake is still very much alive.
Before performing his viral diss track “Not Like Us,” Kendrick took a theatrical detour.
A pre-recorded video played on the massive screen, showing Lamar calmly seated across from a voice that sounded like a courtroom attorney.
“Sunday, Feb. 9,”
The voice said. Then Kendrick replied:
“I don’t keep up with the dates.”
Then came the moment that sent the crowd into a frenzy. The attorney's voice hit back with:
“Does this ring a bell? Drop. Drop. Drop. Drop…”
It was a direct and hilarious jab at Drake’s now-iconic ad-lib from his diss track “Family Matters.” Kendrick’s fans instantly recognized the reference—and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Right after the subtle roast, the screen went black. Then, like a scene straight out of a hip-hop thriller, Kendrick’s voice crept through the speakers:
“Psst... I see dead people.” That eerie line kicked off his “Not Like Us” performance, and the stadium erupted.- Related Stories : Kendrick Lamar Name-Drops Drake's Lawsuit, ASAP Relli, Conspiracie,s Usher & More on Playboi Carti’s “GOOD CREDIT”
If anyone thought the rap beef had cooled off, Kendrick proved the opposite.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning MC also performed “Euphoria,” another lyrical missile from his recent catalog of diss tracks aimed squarely at Drake.
This tour stop wasn’t just a concert, it was a calculated statement. Kendrick is blending cinematic storytelling, performance art, and raw lyricism to keep the pressure on in one of hip-hop’s most talked-about rivalries.Whether this is the last jab or just another round in the battle remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Kendrick Lamar isn’t letting up anytime soon.
