Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour stop in Toronto has seen a major boost in ticket sales after Drake and Kai Cenat postponed their planned livestream. According to StubHub, Toronto has now become one of the tour’s top-selling cities, with a sharp increase in purchases reported on Thursday.
The Toronto show was already a hot ticket because of Kendrick’s public feud with Drake, which dominated headlines in 2024. The rap battle included hit diss tracks like “Euphoria,” “Family Matters,” and the viral “Not Like Us.” Kendrick later dropped his GNX album, adding fuel to the rivalry.
Now, Kendrick’s two-night event at Toronto’s Rogers Centre—with SZA as co-headliner—has officially broken records for ticket sales in the city. The excitement follows Kendrick’s recent wins at the 2025 BET Awards, where GNX took home Album of the Year.
Kendrick’s Grand National Tour has been a landmark for hip-hop, breaking records across major U.S. cities. His Minneapolis show set the record for the highest-grossing hip-hop concert ever, while his Atlanta show broke single-night attendance records.
With Toronto joining the list, Kendrick continues to redefine what’s possible for rap artists on the global stage.
