If you were unable to get tickets for Kendrick Lamar's upcoming show “The Pop Out – Ken and Friends” in Los Angeles, Amazon Music is coming to the rescue: The hip-hop and R&B brand Rotation will stream the concert live.

Tickets for the show, which takes place at the Kia Forum on June 19, sold out immediately when they went on general sale today. Demand was reportedly staggeringly high, with social media users reporting standing behind 100,000 others in line. Tickets are already being resold on Ticketmaster's website at hefty prices, ranging from $350 to $1,500 for a single seat.

The concert will be broadcast live on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch starting at 4 p.m. PT. The livestream coincides with Amazon Music's “Forever the Influence” celebration of Black musicians and creators during Black Music Month.

Lamar announced The Pop Out – Ken and Friends, presented by pgLang and Free Lunch, earlier this week. The concert title refers to a line from Lamar's “Not Like Us,” a diss track against Drake that became the biggest hit of the feud that has dominated headlines for the past few months.

The feud between Lamar and Drake has been getting heated since Lamar released his verse on Metro Boomin and Future's “Like That” in March. Since then, they have attacked each other on character, looks and personality. Drake was the latest to release a diss song, “The Heart Part 6,” which he recently deleted from his Instagram profile.
