During a recent performance by Kendrick Lamar, some unexpected events unfolded. According to Hed, a fellow artist, the decision to bring everyone on stage at the end of the show was impromptu. This surprise left many of the performers, including Hed himself, unaware of the plan until the last minute. Despite the spontaneity, Hed encouraged Kendrick to fully embrace the moment and make the most of the legendary arena where they were performing. To everyone’s surprise, Kendrick performed “Not Like Us” multiple times in a row, catching even his fellow artists off guard.
