Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ Boosts Toronto Chinese Restaurant Business
In the latest round of the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, the Compton rapper dropped a new single titled “euphoria” on Tuesday (April 30). The track, seen as a direct response to Drake’s diss track “Push Ups,” quickly ignited a firestorm of chatter across the internet.
Lamar’s hard-hitting lyrics took aim at various aspects of Drake’s life and career, stirring up plenty of debate among fans and hip-hop enthusiasts alike.
One particular segment of “euphoria” caught the attention of listeners as Lamar humorously mocked Toronto’s accent and slang while mentioning a local Chinese restaurant, New Ho King.
In the lyrics, Lamar raps about enjoying fried rice with a special sauce at the restaurant, sparking a surge of interest in the eatery.
Following the name drop in Lamar’s track, New Ho King experienced a significant boost in business, with numerous five-star reviews flooding in on Google.

Many of these reviews specifically referenced Lamar’s mention of the restaurant in his song, drawing further attention to the establishment and its offerings.
In an interview with CityNews on Wednesday (May 1), Johnny Lu, the owner of New Ho King, shared his excitement about the unexpected publicity his restaurant received.
Lu mentioned receiving messages from people who had heard the song and were intrigued by the reference to the restaurant. He also expressed gratitude towards Lamar for the shoutout and acknowledged that the increased attention would likely result in a busier period for his chef.
The lyrical feud between Lamar and Drake escalated from subtle jabs to full-blown warfare with Lamar’s latest track. In “euphoria,” Lamar didn’t hold back, taking aim at Drake and even mentioning fellow rapper J. Cole.
The track added fuel to the fire of their ongoing conflict, which had previously seen responses from Drake’s “Push Ups” and Cole’s “7 Minute Drill.” However, Cole later apologized and removed the song from circulation, signaling a temporary ceasefire in the rap battle.
As the tension between Lamar and Drake continues to simmer, fans eagerly await each new development in this epic saga of hip-hop rivalry.The post Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ Boosts Toronto Chinese Restaurant Business first appeared on RapVerse.
