In a candid revelation, NBA superstar Steph Curry has expressed his frustration with the incessant play of Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” during the Olympics, stating he was “sick of it.” In an interview on Complex’s YouTube show 360 with Speedy, Curry shared that the song dominated the soundtrack of his Olympic experience, making it impossible to escape its reach.
Curry recounted the overwhelming presence of the track, saying, “Everywhere we went, that’s all I heard.” His exasperation was palpable as he recalled moments in the arena where the song played on repeat, leaving him yearning for a break from the relentless beat. “Turn this off. Cut this up,” he declared, revealing that his reaction was genuine and stemmed from a place of fatigue rather than mere annoyance.
The conversation also touched on his camaraderie with fellow artist Drake, who has a tattoo of Curry’s jersey number, 30, adorned with a halo. Their friendship adds layers to Curry’s Olympic experience, but the constant loop of “Not Like Us” overshadowed it. Reflecting on his career, Curry expressed a desire to maximize his potential in the game, indicating he still has years left to achieve his goals.
As Curry continues to dominate the court, his candidness about the pressures and frustrations of fame serves as a reminder that even the greatest athletes are not immune to the overwhelming nature of celebrity culture. The world will be watching as he navigates both the highs and lows of his illustrious career, hoping for a fresh soundtrack to accompany his journey.
