What did Steph Curry say about Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us'? NBA star talks about his loyalty to Drake

Steph Curry, in July 2024, had expressed his distaste for Kendrick Lamar's diss track at Drake, Not Like Us. After the USA's Basketball team won against Serbia in Abu Dhabi, the DJ played the Lamar track, and Curry looked visibly annoyed.

Curry voiced his frustration and said,

Da** with this song. It's not the only song in America."

While LeBron James seemed to be enjoying the track, and said, "I love it."

Now, a year later, Curry discussed his friendship with Drake during a recent interview with Complex and reflected on the viral video of him complaining about the track being played after a game.

Steph opened up about his longtime friendship with Drake and said,

"We go way back though and it's actually kind of a family thing too. One of Ayesha's cousins is from Toronto and the whole deal. So, we're all in the same boat."

Steph Curry addressed the viral video and said that he was frustrated both because the track was being overplayed and due to his loyalty to Drake.

"Oh, it was both. Everywhere we went, it was all I heard. And, the fact that they know who I was with. You can't do nothing about what the DJ's playing. But I was like, I got sick of it at a certain point. It's funny the cameras caught me because that was from the soul."
