In a candid revelation, NBA superstar Steph Curry has opened up about his frustration with Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” during the Olympics, describing his overwhelming annoyance with the song that seemed to follow him everywhere. Speaking on Complex’s YouTube show “360 with Speedy,” Curry recounted how the track became a relentless soundtrack to his Olympic experience, leaving him yearning for a break from its omnipresence.
Curry, known for his competitive spirit and sharp wit, expressed that the constant play of the song grinded on him, particularly in moments when he just wanted to focus on his game. “It was both,” he admitted, reflecting on his irritation. “Everywhere we went, that’s all I heard. I got sick of it at certain points.” His frustration was palpable, as he recalled the cameras catching his genuine reaction, a mix of humor and exasperation. “Turn this off. Cut this up. That was from right here,” he said, emphasizing the depth of his feelings.
The conversation also touched on his bond with fellow artist Drake, who has a tattoo of Curry’s jersey number. Their camaraderie adds another layer to Curry’s life beyond basketball, showcasing the intersections of sports and culture. But it was clear: the relentless loop of “Not Like Us” was a bridge too far, even for a champion like Curry.
As the world watches the Warriors star continue to dominate the court, his candid words serve as a reminder that even the greatest athletes have their limits. With more years ahead in his career, Curry remains focused on leaving his mark while navigating the pressures of fame—and the songs that come with it.
