Musical Showdown: Kendrick Lamar’s Anthem Takes Center Stage at Olympics

Published:

In a surprising turn of events, Kendrick Lamar’s controversial track “Not Like Us,” aimed at Drake, found its way into the heart of the Olympic arena during Team USA’s basketball victory over Canada.

The showdown unfolded on Wednesday as the United States basketball team clashed with their northern neighbors in a high-stakes exhibition game at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Following Team USA’s triumphant 85-72 win, Lamar’s fiery diss track echoed through the speakers as both teams basked in the aftermath of the intense competition.

While the motives behind playing the diss track remain shrouded in mystery, Drake’s Canadian heritage hints at a possible calculated jab from the US camp.

Adding insult to injury, Drake faced another blow earlier in the week when the Argentinian soccer team taunted him following their victory in the Copa America semifinals. With a resounding 2-0 win over Canada, the South American squad boldly proclaimed, “Not like us, not with us,” in a clear dig at the Canadian superstar.

To compound Drake’s woes, his hefty $300,000 bet on his country’s success against the World Cup champions backfired, further fueling the narrative of his sports betting misfortunes.

In a bold move, Drake had even referenced soccer legend Lionel Messi in his social media posts, only to be met with disappointment as events unfolded differently than anticipated.

Amidst the sporting drama, the rapper’s rival Akademiks teased upcoming music from Drake, dismissing any claims of the artist’s decline and promising fans a new, exciting musical chapter in the near future.
