Kendrick Lamar Performs 'Not Like Us' In Toronto & Fans Beg For An Encore, Social Media Piles On
He's currently traveling around the country for his Grand National Tour with SZA, but last night he went north of the border, taking the show to Drake's hometown of Toronto.
During his set at Rogers Centre, he, of course, had to perform the creep anthem directed at Drake, 'Not Like Us.' After Thursday night's show, social videos immediately show Kendrick's other diss-related tracks, including 'Like That' and 'Euphoria,' as pyrotechnics ignited atop the stage, and the crowd can be heard singing along. Fans even begged K.Dot to perform an encore of 'Not Like Us,' but he didn't oblige, instead moving on down the setlist.
The performance went off without a hitch, with no special antics while on his foe's home turf, but ironically enough, he's got another Toronto show planned for tonight, which happens to be Friday the 13th.
After that, he has two more East Coast shows before taking the tour overseas, with approximately 20 more shows in Germany, England, Spain, Italy, and concluding in August in Sweden. Then there are two more Australian shows scheduled for December.
There's not much Drake could do to interfere with Kendrick's victory lap, though he did attempt to divert some of the attention away by scheduling a stream with Kai Cenat.
It was rescheduled at the last minute, as they were supposed to select the fan winners of the 'Somebody Who Loves Me' music video contest. They linked up to give fans the chance to write treatments and send samples of how they'd direct the video, with 20 lucky submissions getting selected and receiving $15,000 each.
'We need more time with the treatments for somebody who loves me,' Cenat wrote on his Instagram Story Thursday. 'So we are pushing the stream back a few more days. Apologies.'

Drake Bell claims ‘no one' on Nickelodeon gets paid residuals: ‘It's like getting high on child labor'
Drake Bell feels cheated, and he's not thrilled about it. The 'Drake & Josh' alum, 39, recently claimed that 'no one' on Nickelodeon receives residuals for their time on the popular children's network. He also slammed the belief that everyone on TV is rich. 'That's the perception of the world, it's always been this way,' Bell said during an episode of 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. 'It's like, you know, 'Oh, you made a Folgers Coffee commercial. You must live in a mansion in Hollywood. Like, I saw you on TV. You're rich.'' Advertisement 7 Drake Bell during 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube 7 Drake Bell and Josh Peck in Nickelodeon's 'Drake & Josh.' Nickelodeon 'That's far from the case,' he explained. 'And especially, which is the bummer for most of us on Nickelodeon, we don't get residuals for our shows.' Advertisement Bell, who made his Nickelodeon debut on 'The Amanda Show' with Amanda Bynes in 1999 before co-starring on 'Drake & Josh' with Josh Peck from 2004 to 2007, revealed that almost everyone on the network only receives a one-time payment for their work. He then compared Nickelodeon's 'flawed' system to shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' and noted how the casts of those sitcoms still earn millions of dollars from syndication residuals. 7 Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell on Nickelodeon's 'The Amanda Show.' Nickelodeon 'You want to get into syndication,' Bell told podcast hosts Abby and Matt Howard. 'You want to get to 100 episodes so that you can get to syndication, and then you want to get into syndication because then you get your residual money, that's where you make your money.' Advertisement 'For example, the 'Friends' cast at the peak was making a million dollars an episode,' he continued. 'You make 13 episodes that year, you make $13 million. You make 20 episodes that year, you make $20 million, right? 'But right now, each cast member of 'Friends,' just in syndication alone, is making over $20 million a year, and they're not filming a show every week,' Bell added. 'They're not going to work, but they're playing their show and they're using their likeness and they're doing all this, so they get paid for it.' 7 Drake Bell during Abby and Matt Howard's 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube When Matt asked whether Nickelodeon stars didn't receive residuals because they were child actors, Bell claimed it was because the network was run by 'a lot of evil, corrupt people.' Advertisement 'That's the only thing, that is the answer,' he said. 'There's no other answer.' Meanwhile, Bell lamented how he still doesn't receive residuals despite seeing 'Drake & Josh' replays and marathons on TV and popular streaming services. 7 Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell and Josh Peck during Nickelodeon's 17th Annual Kids' Choice Awards in 2004.

'There are three channels doing 'Drake & Josh' marathons. Netflix just bought it, it's top 10 on Netflix, and I gotta figure out how to pay my rent this month,' the actor continued. 'And some fat cat with a cigar is just sitting up at the top of Viacom, just going. What do you call it? It's just like getting high on child labor.' Bell, who filed for bankruptcy back in 2014, ended the podcast segment by saying that people outside of the entertainment industry 'don't understand how the business works.' 7 Bell filed for bankruptcy back in 2014. Drake Bell/Instagram 'They just see what the perception is on Instagram and social media and all the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood,' he said. 'We're putting in all of this work. This corporation is making billions with a 'B' off of us, and we're being compensated for the week of work, cool, but that's it.' Advertisement 'And forever, in perpetuity,' Bell concluded. 'It literally says in the contract, across universes and galaxies and planets.'

Bell also revealed in the bombshell docuseries that he had been sexually assaulted by acting coach Brian Peck, and alleged that the shocking abuse is what started him down his self-destructive road.

3 best comedies on Netflix to watch this weekend — all with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes
July is a big month for Netflix comedies with "Happy Gilmore 2" making it debut on July 25, almost 30 years after the original's release. (Bizarrely, Netflix is pulling the first "Happy Gilmore" from the platform just days later on July 30.) But if you're looking for laughs in the meantime and don't want to sift through Netflix's expansive catalogue, we've got you covered. Decision paralysis is real, and with so much to choose from across the best streaming services, narrowing down what to watch can become a real pain. That's why we regularly comb through the new and best movies on Netflix to help you skip the scrolling and get to streaming. The movies below are a mix of hilarious genre-bending comedies that have earned at least a 90% or higher critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Granted, a high score doesn't guarantee something's a hit, but it is a good indicator of universal acclaim — and, more importantly, many laughs to be found in these flicks. Here are the best three comedies on Netflix to watch this weekend. Enjoy a healthy dose of sci-fi and social commentary served up with your laughs? "They Cloned Tyrone" is an audacious mash-up that could've easily gone off the rails, but under the direction of Juel Taylor, co-writer of "Creed 2" and "Space Jam: A New Legacy," the film holds together remarkably well for a bold and seriously entertaining watch. At the heart of it all is a stellar trio: John Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx share electric chemistry, and their dynamic is one of the film's biggest strengths. After Fontaine (Boyega), a low-level drug dealer, is gunned down, he wakes up the next day as if nothing happened. To get to the bottom of things, he joins forces with fast-talking pimp Slick Charles (Foxx) and no-nonsense sex worker Yo-Yo (Parris). In the process, the unlikely trio uncovers a top-secret government cloning conspiracy threatening their community. Watch it now on Netflix Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For a fresh twist on the classic buddy-comedy formula, I can't recommend "One of Them Days" enough. It's a wild and very funny ride, and if you can get on board with the more ridiculous parts of their adventure, there's a lot to enjoy here. Keke Palmer has always had a magnetic screen presence, and SZA manages to match her charisma and sharp comedic timing effortlessly. Together, they create a believable, dynamic duo of the blind leading the blind into increasingly bonkers situations. The movie follows down-on-their-luck best friends and roommates Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA). After Alyssa's boyfriend runs off with their rent money, their landlord gives them until 6 p.m. to fork over the $1,500 they owe him or they're out on the street. Chaos ensues as they scramble to get a payday loan (despite hilarious warnings from Katt Williams' Lucky), accidentally piss off a gang leader, and stop at nothing to turn their fortunes around before it's too late. Watch it now on Netflix I went into "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" with next to zero knowledge about D&D, and expected all the jokes to fly over my head. Instead, I nearly busted my stitches from laughing so hard. Even if you've never rolled a D20 before (or don't have a clue what that is), if you enjoy an adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is definitely one to add to your watchlist. It kicks off with charming bard Edgin (Chris Pine) and his tough-as-nails barbarian companion Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) cooling their heels in prison after a botched heist. After an unorthodox jailbreak (RIP Jarnathan), they assemble a ragtag crew — including insecure sorcerer Simon (Justice Smith) and the shape-shifting druid Doric (Sophia Lillis) — to go on a quest to save Edgin's daughter and retrieve a lost relic. Along the way, they also cross paths with Xenk (Regé-Jean Page), a noble paladin who's so absurdly overpowered that he becomes a walking punchline in the best way. Watch it now on Netflix
