Drake's iconic performance at OVO Fest in 2015, when he performed his Meek Mill diss track, "Back to Back," is being reconsidered by fans on social media after his latest rival, Kendrick Lamar, hosted The Pop Out - Ken & Friends in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. When Complex shared a clip of the set on X (formerly Twitter), Friday night, fans were harsher on the show after Lamar's impressive concert.
"To think about it, this was the response to divert from the ghost writer allegations…. He just distracted yall," one user wrote. Another added: "If Kendrick put up pics of Drake behind him at Ken & Friends y'all would call him obsessed." One more fan wrote: "We really let this Canadian dude disrespect a sreet n***a from Philadelphia. This how I know Kendrick and LA is different."

As for The Pop Out - Ken & Friends, Lamar used the night to highlight several West Coast icons while also performing several of his Drake disses. He finished the night by performing his biggest hit, "Not Like Us," several times over. "Y'all ain't gonna let anyone disrespect the West Coast, huh? Oh, y'all ain't gonna let nobody mock and imitate our legends, huh?" he asked. At other points, he welcomed Tyler, the Creator, Dr. Dre, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and many more artists. Several other celebrities, including LeBron James and more, were also in attendance.
