No word yet on whether SZA will be joining for the Australia leg, but fans are hoping.
Kendrick vs. Drake: Fueling the Fire
Of course, no Kendrick tour update would be complete without acknowledging the elephant in the room—his ongoing lyrical war with Drake. Since their feud erupted earlier this year, Kendrick’s dominance on stage has only amplified the buzz.
Fans speculate that the Grand National Tour—particularly Kendrick’s lyrical interludes—are laced with subliminal shots at his Toronto rival.
During his Los Angeles set, he famously performed “Euphoria” with the entire crowd shouting every bar in unison.
And if you think the drama stops there—Drake is reportedly planning a new livestream concert to rival Kendrick’s global takeover, coinciding with one of Lamar’s Latin American dates.
SZA’s Rise: A Star Reborn
While Kendrick’s name headlines the tour, SZA has emerged as a powerhouse in her own right. Her presence on this tour has helped cement her status as more than a feature artist.
Following the tour, she’s expected to release her deluxe project “Lana” and continue building on her “SOS” momentum—already a Grammy-winning masterpiece.
“This tour made me realize how global the love is,” she said in a recent interview.
“People cried in Rome. In Warsaw. In Philly. Music connects us, and I’m just blessed to be a part of that.”
