Not only did Kendrick perform the diss for the first time, he did it at least SIX times just in case a certain Canadian didn’t hear it the first five times.

During the show’s finale, Kendrick celebrated the unity that Los Angeles showed on Juneteenth in a beautiful moment that showed why he’s one of the greatest to ever do it.
“Let the world see this, for all of us to be on this stage together, unity, from East side–LA, Crips, Bloods, Piru, this is special,” he said. “We put this together just for ya’ll.”
