Kendrick Lamar had Toronto hating Drake as much as everyone else
Kendrick Lamar had Toronto hating Drake as much as everyone else KENDRICK LAMAR NOT LIKE US 🚨LIVE IN TORONTO🚨 — NFR Podcast (@nfr_podcast) June 13, 2025 So, imagine getting in a fight with someone in the most public way possible. Everyone knows you're beefing. It's been you vs. the other guy for a little more than a year now. People have picked sides and hunkered down. You'd like to think that the folks from your hometown would pick your side, right? Especially if, throughout your entire career, you've gone out of your way to show them love whenever you could. Of course, when the moment comes, you'd like to think they love you back. That certainly isn't what happened for Drake last night. THEY NOT LIKE US: The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, explained Kendrick Lamar brought the GNX Tour, aka the Drake Hatefest, to Toronto on Thursday night. He had every person in the Rogers Centre screaming every word of Not Like Us with every fiber of their being. It was a pure display of hatred that I'm not sure I've ever seen before. WARNING: There is some NSFW language in this video This isn't supposed to happen. Drake is supposed to be Toronto's golden boy. This isn't supposed to happen. This would be like Drake coming to LA and having the crowd curse Kendrick until they couldn't anymore. The crowd has so much fun cracking down on their hometown hero that they actually asked for an encore once it was all over and done with. You could probably make a credible argument that Kendrick Lamar is, in fact, milking this Drake thing. The beef started more than a year ago and it's been over for a while. Really, it was over as soon as Drake got lawyers involved. If it wasn't over then, it was definitely over at the Super Bowl. If it wasn't over at the Super Bowl, it's definitely over now after the Toronto takeover. But I think the only people who'd argue that Kendrick is doing too much with this are the people who have never had enemies in their lives. And, honestly, good for those people! Having enemies sucks. But let me tell you something. If you ever get one-up on your enemy? You never let them live it down. Especially when your one-up is this big. The truth is, Kendrick is never going to stop performing Not Like Us. And it honestly doesn't seem like his fans want him to at this point. Sorry, Drake. The party is still going at your expense, buddy. Even at the crib. Is this the end for Russ? The Russell Westbrook era in Denver is over. The future Hall of Famer declined his player option for next season and is officially a free agent, according to NBA Insider Marc Stein. Russell Westbrook has declined his player option for next season and is now an unrestricted free agent, per Marc Stein. Which team should the former MVP go to? — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) June 13, 2025 That begs the question about what might be next for Russ in his NBA career. I'll say the thing so you don't have to: What should be next for Russ is probably retirement. It's pretty clear Westbrook believes he has something left in the tank. I don't think that's farfetched, either. The dude was playing important minutes for a playoff team this season. Before it went bad in Denver, things were also pretty good. He was a solid contributor at times. But, man. Things have ended in chaos at every stop for the last few years. The Lakers. The Clippers. The Nuggets. All bad. I feel like that's a sign. There's nothing wrong with hanging it up. Westbrook is a first-ballot Hall of Famer — there's no question about it. He was the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double, he's been a league MVP, he's been to the NBA Finals and is unquestionably one of the most consequential players of his time. You can't talk about this era of NBA basketball without talking about Russell Westbrook. But his prime is way behind him. And it feels like the further we get away from it, the more his legacy gets ever-so-slightly tarnished. He probably won't do it, but hanging it up feels like the best option right now. Mya Lesnar is definitely Brock Lesnar's kid Mya Lesnar effortlessly secured herself a second NCAA championship on Thursday in the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Christian D'Andrea has the details: "Mya Lesnar didn't follow in her father's footsteps despite a burgeoning women's wrestling scene at the college level. Instead, she used her family's farmhand strength to carve a championship path in track and field -- specifically, the shot put. After beginning her college career at Arizona State, she transferred to Colorado State in 2022. That move helped unlock her potential. She won a national indoor championship earlier this year, then doubled up in the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships Thursday."

SZA to launch her own makeup line, "Not Beauty"
SZA is stepping into the beauty world with her first ever makeup line and it's got a name as bold as her style: Not Beauty. The singer revealed the launch just before hitting the road with Kendrick Lamar for the Grand National Tour and here's the twist: the products will only be available at exclusive pop up activations during US stops of the tour. Kicking things off with three signature lip glosses, SZA revealed the brand has been a behind the scenes labor of love. 'Y'all asked for the lip combo and it's finally here! I repeat, the lip products I've been wearing and working on for years are finally here for everyone to try!' she shared in an Instagram post. 'Available only at Not Beauty pop up activations on the GNX Tour.' In a sit down with Vogue, SZA teased the product lineup: two tinted shades named In the Flesh and Strawberry, and a clear gloss yet to be named. 'I love the look of my lips with some sort of blush or tint to them,' she said. 'Not too much, because my lips are big and I don't like to leave them shapeless. My lip combo requires minimal effort, maximum result, and high shine. Just enough to give a little something without looking like, 'Who you tryna be!?' kind of vibes.' She also confirmed the glosses held up during her 2025 Super Bowl halftime show with Lamar, a serious wear test considering how flawless her lips looked on stage. According to SZA, that's the level of performance you can expect from Not Beauty.

SZA Is Launching a Curated Line of Lip Glosses
SZA is officially entering the beauty game. Ahead of her tour with Kendrick Lamar, the singer announced her new beauty brand, Not Beauty, which will be exclusively sold at pop-up stores during US stops of the Grand National Tour. Debuting three signature lip glosses, Not Beauty has been in the works for 'years.' In an Instagram post, SZA shared that she's been secretly testing the formulas ahead of launch. 'Y'all asked for the lip combo and it's finally here! I repeat, the lip products I've been wearing and working on for years are finally here for everyone to try!' the singer wrote. 'Available only at Not Beauty pop up activations on the GNX Tour.' In an interview with Vogue, SZA teased the three lip gloss shades: two tinted formulas called In the Flesh and Strawberry, and an unnamed clear lip gloss. 'I love the look of my lips with some sort of blush or tint to them,' she said. 'Not too much, because my lips are big and I don't like to leave them shapeless. My lip combo requires minimal effort, maximum result, and high shine. Just enough to give a little something without looking like, 'Who you tryna be!?' kind of vibes.' She also shared that the lip glosses were worn during her 2025 Super Bowl halftime appearance with Lamar, where the formulas were truly put to the test. For the show, SZA seemingly paired one of her tinted lip glosses with a dark plum liner. It's safe to say we can expect long-lasting shine and wear, since SZA's lips looked flawless throughout the performance. So far there are no specific details on how fans can get their hands on Not Beauty, but you can sign up for updates and insider info on to stay up to date. Originally Appeared on Glamour
