A Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar reunion that also supports a good cause? We’re here for it.
On Thursday afternoon, the 29-year-old singer and 30-year-old rapper took the stage at TDE’s fourth annual toy drive, where they performed some of their most recent hits, including their Grammy-nominated collaborative record “Loyalty.” The crowd understandably went wild.
In addition to performing the Damn track, Rihanna also performed her DJ Khaled collaboration “Wild Thoughts” as well as “Lemon” off N*E*R*D*’s recently released album NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES.

Thursday’s concert, which included an appearance by E-40, kicked off the annual two-day event in Watts, California. Though admission was free, attendees were asked to bring an unwrapped gift that would be donated to the community’s underprivileged children.
“In cities like Watts, Compton and South Central, a lot of these kids don’t get to leave their neighborhoods,” TDE President Dave Free told MTV in 2015. “They don’t get to go to these shows. They don’t have the resources, money or opportunities to be in these environments, to be submerged in music, culture and different elements. To me, that’s an important thing. That’s what I see in all these families, in their faces, that excitement.”
