In a candid revelation that’s sending shockwaves through the sports world, NBA superstar Steph Curry has opened up about his intense frustration with Kendrick Lamar’s hit “Not Like Us” during the Tokyo Olympics. Speaking on Complex’s YouTube show, “360 with Speedy,” Curry expressed his exasperation with the song’s constant presence, admitting he was “sick of it” as it played repeatedly in arenas and public spaces throughout the games.

Curry’s comments come as a surprise to many fans, who associate the anthem with powerful moments of competition and camaraderie. However, the Golden State Warriors’ star made it clear that the relentless airplay of the track became overwhelming, particularly as he was trying to focus on his performance. “It was everywhere we went,” he said, revealing that the song’s incessant repetition had worn him down. “I got sick of it at certain points. That was from the soul. Like, turn this off!”

The revelation sheds light on the pressures athletes face beyond the court, where the music that fuels their passion can become a source of irritation. Curry, who has a close connection with fellow artist Drake—who has a tattoo of Curry’s jersey number—also reflected on his journey in the league, expressing a desire to maximize his career and health. “I just want to be in a position where I’ve accomplished everything I can,” he stated, hinting at his ongoing commitment to the game.

As Curry continues to dominate the court, his candid remarks about the Olympics serve as a reminder of the mental challenges athletes endure, even amidst the glory of competition. Fans are now left to wonder: how will this revelation impact Curry’s legacy and the music that accompanies his journey? Stay tuned for updates as the story unfolds.
