Lamar hosted “The Pop Out,” a one-night-only concert held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on Juneteenth. The name references a line in his No. 1 Drake diss track "Not Like Us." The show was livestreamed on Amazon Music.
Mustard, the record producer who produced "Not Like Us," was one of the openers for the concert alongside DJ Hed. Special guests throughout the show included Tyler, the Creator; Steve Lacy; Roddy Ricch; Dr. Dre; and more. Lamar also reunited his supergroup Black Hippy, a collective of rappers that included Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and ScHoolboy Q.
"The Pop Out" was the first time Lamar played his recent diss tracks against Drake live. Lamar opened with “Euphoria” and ended the show by playing “Not Like Us” six times, one of which was an instrumental.
