This concert marked Lamar's first Toronto appearance since their feud escalated last year, intensified by the controversial release and promotion of 'Not Like Us'.
During the show, fans chanted Lamar's lyrics accusing Drake of being a 'colonizer' and 'pedophile', and an encore was requested but not performed by Lamar.

The event highlighted ongoing tensions in the rap beef, with Lamar's Toronto stop amplifying public attention and the livestream rescheduling reflecting related promotional challenges.
