Steph Curry Reacts to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” During Warriors Game
Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry made headlines recently for his reaction to Kendrick Lamar’s hit track “Not Like Us.” After a victorious game against Serbia, the arena DJ at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi decided to play the song over the loudspeakers, much to Curry’s dismay.
In a viral clip, Curry can be heard expressing his frustration with the song, stating, “Damn with this song. It’s not the only song in America.” However, his teammate LeBron James seemed to be enjoying the track, saying, “I love it,” as he gathered his teammates around.
The video also captured shooting guard Anthony Edwards dancing to the catchy tune, which has been a chart-topper since its release. “Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 and has since garnered millions of streams and radio airplay impressions. This week, the song secured Lamar his first multi-week Hot 100 No. 1 as a solo artist.
Hip-hop legend Jermaine Dupri weighed in on Curry’s reaction, emphasizing the importance of impact in the music industry. He stated, “The goal in hip-hop used to be impact, not sales, not charts—impact. How hard you could impact the streets.”
Regardless of Curry’s opinion, “Not Like Us” continues to dominate playlists and shows no signs of slowing down. With its infectious beat and powerful lyrics, the track is set to be a summer anthem for many music fans.
