Kendrick Lamar and SZA are on a worldwide tour – and they are selling out shows all across the globe. But they seem to be having a bit of trouble selling tickets in Drake’s home country.
Media Take Out learned that Ticketmaster is discounting tickets – selling them at half price – in Toronto. We looked on the Ticketmaster home page, and nearly 80% of the tickets have not yet been sold.
They probably should cancel those shows …
Here’s receipts.
Kendrick is an American rapper and songwriter. Regarded as one of the most influential hip-hop artists of his generation, and one of the greatest rappers of all time, he is known for his technical artistry and complex songwriting. He was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music, becoming the first musician outside of the classical and jazz genres to receive the honor.
Kendrick’s conflict with Drake escalated in March 2024 with his surprise appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That”. The song spent three consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lamar’s third number-one single and his first song to debut at the top spot.
From April to May, he released the Drake-aimed diss singles “Euphoria”, “6:16 in LA”, “Meet the Grahams”, and “Not Like Us”; all of which were either positively received or acclaimed by critics.
The latter installment marked the first rap song to lead the Hot 100 with a limited tracking week.
