On top of the rumored acts, Mustard already confirmed that he'll be performing at the event as well. He handled the production for Lamar's latest single," Not Like Us," which serves as a diss track aimed at Drake. Earlier in the day, he spoke with Billboard about the making of the hit single. "When I was making it, in the back of my head is 'What would Dr. Dre do if Lil Jon was in the studio and they was collaborating on the beat. That was my thought process," Mustard told the outlet. "It took me approximately 30 minutes to make that beat." He also confirmed he didn't know Lamar would use it for a diss track.
