Mustard also opened his set with a stage performance of “Not Like Us,” the biggest hit to come out of the feud between Drake and Lamar.

“I don’t troll. I really don’t troll. I bought a lot of hats that I liked. I bought an STL hat, an Angels hat, a Braves hat. I ordered The faith of a mustard seed [the title of his latest album] on all of them,” he told Big Boy in an interview.
“I sweated my two hats off at Pop Out [Kendrick Lamar’s Inglewood concert] and that was the last hat I had that had Faith of a Mustard Seed on it. It just happened to be a Toronto Blue Jays hat,” Mustard continued.
“I grew up in the Jungles, we all wore that hat. I mean, I wore the NY hat – that’s the Nip hat, the neighborhoods. Our hats have different meanings so I haven’t never thought much about it like, ‘Oh, I’m trying to troll you guys.’ “If I was up there, I would probably take out the Blue Jay and put an X in the middle of it, however, I’m not up there,” he concluded.
