Fans Reignite Debate Over Drake’s “Back to Back” After Kendrick Lamar’s Epic “The Pop Out” Concert

Drake‘s unforgettable 2015 OVO Fest performance, where he delivered his scathing Meek Mill diss track “Back to Back,” is under fresh scrutiny by fans on social media. The renewed debate was sparked after Kendrick Lamar’s spectacular “The Pop Out – Ken & Friends” concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Following Complex’s clip of the event shared on X (formerly Twitter), fans seemed unimpressed with Drake’s past show compared to Lamar’s latest powerhouse performance.

“To think about it, this was the response to divert from the ghostwriter allegations… He just distracted y’all,” one user commented. Another chimed in, “If Kendrick put up pics of Drake behind him at Ken & Friends y’all would call him obsessed.” A third fan noted, “We really let this Canadian dude disrespect a street n***a from Philadelphia. This how I know Kendrick and LA is different.”

At “The Pop Out – Ken & Friends,” Lamar shone the spotlight on several West Coast legends while delivering some of his most pointed Drake disses. The night peaked with multiple renditions of his chart-topping hit, “Not Like Us.” Addressing the crowd, Lamar declared, “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?” The event also featured appearances by Tyler, the Creator, Dr. Dre, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and more, with celebrities like LeBron James in attendance.

Stay tuned for more updates on the ongoing rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, only on Honk Magazine.
