Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” listed among Uproxx’s “Best Songs Of 2024 So Far,” might get its live debut during Lamar’s The Pop Out — Ken & Friends concert, presented by pgLang and Free Lunch, at Kia Forum in Los Angeles tonight (June 19). Regardless, “Not Like Us” is featured at Lamar’s The Pop Out merch table.

Here Is Kendrick Lamar’s Merch For The Pop Out Concert

Several outlets, such as Complex and XXL Magazine, have begun circulating photos of merch available for purchase at Kia Forum.

It cannot be definitively stated whether the photos capture all of the merchandise available, but this is what we have to go off of so far.

There is a black “Not Like Us” graphic tee available for $50, and a white pgLang graphic tee for $50. Another $50 “Not Like Us” graphic tee displays a bowl of New Ho King rice, a nod to the Toronto restaurant and unlikely beneficiary of the Drake-Kendrick beef. As relayed by The New York Times, New Ho King received “a flood of five-star reviews on Yelp and Google” after Lamar rapped on “Euphoria,” “I be at New Ho King eatin’ fried rice with a dip sauce and blammy, crodie.”

There is also a black pgLang graphic hoodie available for $120, and a $70 white long-sleeved shirt with a graphic displaying, “SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA POP OUT AND SHOW.”

The Pop Out — Ken & Friends will be livestreamed on Amazon Prime Video and Twitch.

Cardi B Models McDonald’s-Inspired Merch

by

Cardi B, the Grammy award-winning rapper, has once again caught the attention of her fans. Her new McDonald’s inspired merchandise is driving fans crazy. The rapper, who has a long-standing love for McDonald’s, took to Instagram to share her latest collection with her followers. In a series of posts, Cardi B can be seen posing in various McDonald’s themed outfits. Only Cardi B can make clothing based on fast food look high fashion. The rapper looks glamorous and completely in her element as she shows off the new line.

In her new collection, fans can make outfits through a series of shirts, hoodies, shorts, and beanies. There are also swimsuit and legging options. Almost every article of clothing has a reference to McDonald’s in some way. In Cardi’s Instagram post, she can even be seen wearing red and yellow heels. The yellow and red bear a similar color scheme to McDonald’s brand. The fact that Cardi has McDonald’s-inspired clothes that are not part of her collection shows how much of a fan she is.

Cardi B Rocks Her New Limited Line

Cardi B is no stranger to working with McDonald’s. In fact, many celebrities will pair with the fast food chain to promote themselves. However, Cardi remains a devoted fan to the franchise, despite any backlash she may receive. Her partner Offset also shares her enthusiasm for McDonald’s. Currently, the pair is in a deal with the franchise and have their own McDonald’s meal available to buy. There has been some back and forth between the couple and the company, however. Many people believe that neither Cardi B nor Offset represents the family-friendly brand.

But Cardi’s new merchandise line shows she has no intention of slowing down. She has caught the attention of not just her fans, but her peers as well. Many people are taking to social media to tell Cardi B how good she looks. Although there has been some outrage regarding the Cardi and Offset meal, McDonald’s stands by its decision. This is most likely a good decision, as Cardi’s devotion is consistently driving traffic in their direction.

Rihanna Shows Off Super Bowl Halftime Show Merch As Her Return To The Stage Nears

by

The Super Bowl itself is an undeniably big deal every year. However, it’s often the Halftime show that really captivates audiences. In 2022, an impressive roster of artists took to the stage. Among them were 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige.

For some time, it was said that following such a lineup wouldn’t be easy for 2023’s headliner. However, it seems that the perfect artist was found in the form of Rihanna. She previously took a years-long hiatus from the music industry in favour of her other creative pursuits.

As the annual game nears, the new mother has been using social media to tease her fans about what they can expect. Most recently, she showed off her accompanying Savage X Fenty merch – namely a hoodie printed with the initial announcement image of her tattooed hand holding up a football that arrived last year.

“5 weeks from today,” the caption on Sunday’s (January 8) Instagram upload reads. Prior to that, Rih posted the same video on her Story, gearing her 139M followers up for her highly anticipated comeback.

Deadline reports that the “Breakin’ Dishes” hitmaker will be the first to perform in the rebranded Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The big event will take place on Sunday, February 12, in Glendale, Arizona. In charge of production is DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins. Additionally, Hamish Hamilton will act as the director.

Once the exciting announcement came out in 2022, Jay-Z took a moment to praise Rihanna. “[She] is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” he said at the time. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

It’s been noted that over 120 million viewers tuned in to the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. Later, it went on to receive a total of three Creative Emmy awards for all the performers involved.

Others who have graced the stage at the year’s biggest football game in the past include Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, and The Weeknd.

Are you excited to see Rihanna’s return to the stage in February? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Lil Durk Gifts Fan Free Merch After Hoodie Mishap

by

Have you ever ordered merch from one of your favorite artists and been very excited for it to arrive in the mail? This was recently the case for a big fan of Lil Durk. Twitter user @4PF_Rami ordered a hoodie from Durk’s official merch site, otfgear.com. 

Considering the garment ran the Twitter user $75 plus shipping, it seems like a fair sentiment. “I don’t mean to be rude but I feel like you tried to play me,” he wrote. 

He even included a side-by-side comparison of him wearing the hoodie he received and the photo of it from the website. He was right, they don’t exactly resemble each other. 

The hoodie that Durk is modeling on the site reads “Only The Family” arced across the chest. The placement appears perfectly aligned in the top middle of the garment.

On the one that Rami received, the lettering doesn’t appear to be gold. The font even looks skinnier and appears to be screen printed without precision. 

Lil Durk Makes Things Right

Due to his Twitter following of nearly 30,000, word got around quickly. To make up for it, the “3 Headed Goat” rapper sent Rami a care package of various merch pieces.

OTF is Durk’s rap collective from Chicago, which he formed by himself in 2010. It’s home to artists such as the late King Von and Booka600. 

As a group, they’ve released four albums. The most recent of which was Only The Family – Lil Durk Presents: Loyal Bros. Durk’s solo hit, “Hellcats & Trackhawks” is featured on the project.

All in all, this is a cool interaction between a big artist and a fan. Since the fan was respectable about the situation, it seems as though Durk and his team were happy to make things right. 

Would you have done the same thing if you received a piece of merch like this? Comment down below.
