Stephen Curry is opening up about the viral moment he had when he shared his true feelings about Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us." 

In a conversation with Complex's 360 with Speedy, the Golden State Warriors star spoke about his relationship with Drake and expanded on his viral moment at the 2024 Paris Olympics when he was frustrated with "Not Like Us" playing.

"We go way back, though, and it's actually kind of a family thing, too," Curry shared about how his friendship with Drake began. The four-time NBA champion shared that through his wife, Ayesha Curry, who hails from Toronto like Drake, has a cousin who is from the city as well. It's unclear the nature of Ayesha's cousin's relationship with Drake, but there is some kind of familial connection as Steph has continued to cultivate a relationship with the rapper throughout the years. 

In addition to sharing how he has a relationship with Drake, Curry explained what he felt in the moment when he got annoyed at "Not Like Us" playing. 

"Everywhere we went, it's all I heard, and the fact that they know who I was with," Curry added. "...But I was like, I got sick of it at a certain point. And it was funny, the cameras caught me because that was from the soul."

Despite Curry's feelings about the overload of plays "Not Like Us" got last summer, the song has been cemented into rap and Grammy history as the first diss track to win multiple golden gramophones. "Not Like Us" won Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, Song Of The Year, and Record Of The Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards ceremony.
