The latest drama has unfolded mostly on festival stages, social media, and yes, even through tattoo choices. Over the weekend, Drake headlined London’s massive Wireless Festival, and the crowd wasn’t shy about picking sides. During one of his sets, after Drake hyped up his own headlining streak and called out other artists, the audience erupted into a loud and explicit anti-Kendrick chant. Drake, always quick with the theatrics, smiled, told his longtime bodyguard Chubbs to grab him a shot, then toasted the crowd, fully embracing the moment and their support. That one gesture set social media ablaze, with fans and stans dissecting every second of his reaction.But that wasn’t the only headline. In a move that’s peak Drake-level pettiness, eagle-eyed fans noticed the LeBron James tattoo on Drake’s arm—yeah, the same LeBron who publicly showed love for Kendrick during their back-and-forth—has now been covered up. Taking its place? A portrait of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Oklahoma City Thunder. This quickly got fans speculating that Drake wanted to distance himself from anyone supporting Kendrick and was using his own skin to make a public statement. The forum posts, TikToks, and Twitter threads about “tattoogate” have not slowed down for a minute.There’s more: Drake’s new Instagram Story this week is classic Drizzy. He posted a cryptic message talking about reclaiming the number one spot “soon,” which fans took as a direct shove back at Kendrick’s disruptive run atop the charts.

The comments are full of “When’s the next diss?” and “Team Drake vs Team Lamar” energy.He’s not just trolling online, though; musically, Drake’s still swinging.

Drake had everyone buzzing after he took a direct shot at Kendrick during his three-night Wireless Festival residency in London. During his set, the crowd broke out in a loud anti-Kendrick chant, and instead of dodging the moment, Drake raised his drink and basically toasted to the diss, fueling the feud even more. Rap fans lost their minds across socials—memes, reactions, and hot takes lit up X and Instagram, with plenty of people saying Drake was reclaiming the narrative and showing he’s far from done in this battle.Of course, Kendrick hasn’t publicly responded, but his Super Bowl performance earlier this year, where he performed “Not Like Us”—the infamous diss track that most people agree gave him the upper hand—still hangs heavy over the beef.

So, the suspense is real, and anticipation is building for what he’ll say and whether it’ll reignite the fires with Kendrick or take the story in a new direction.The rumor mill is also swirling with talk of Young Thug possibly joining Drake at the Wireless Festival. Fans and social media pages like Drake Charts and commentary threads are buzzing about secret guest appearances and collaborations, especially since the two have stayed close despite the chaos in hip-hop alliances. Thug’s rumored to be dropping a new album, and the energy has people guessing that a surprise stage appearance could double as an announcement.And, just to stir the pot further, Drake caused a stir by covering up his famous LeBron James tattoo with the jersey of another NBA star, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This move, picked up by The Shade Room and basketball insiders, is being read as both a shot at LeBron and a statement about shifting loyalties—something that’s very on brand with the trust and betrayal themes popping up in Drake’s recent lyrics and social posts.Listeners, this feud is only getting messier and more unpredictable.

"The Ongoing Feud Between Drake and Kendrick Lamar: Dissecting the Latest Twists and Turns"
Listeners, there’s been a big surge in Drake and Lamar buzz this week, and if you’re obsessed with their ongoing feud like I am, you’re definitely in for a treat. Social media is still dissecting every move these two make—especially since the energy around them hasn’t died down, even after the infamous “Not Like Us” track that Kendrick dropped last year. Katt Williams recently appeared on the 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast and shared his take, pointing out that Kendrick’s approach to the beef wasn’t about hate for Drake as a person, but more about calling out his choices. Williams really drove home that Kendrick was just too formidable an opponent—he basically called Drake going up against Kendrick a hopeless cause, saying, “You can’t beat the bear… Kendrick is not who you wanted to tussle with.”Let’s talk about that viral moment when Kendrick performed “Not Like Us” in Drake’s own backyard of Toronto during his Grand National Tour. The crowd sang every word with him and even begged for an encore. According to Billboard, that moment just cemented Kendrick’s dominance in the battle, and fans on both sides are still talking about it. And let’s not forget, “Not Like Us” cleaned up at the 2025 Grammys, snagging Record of the Year and Song of the Year. That alone kept Lamar at the center of the cultural conversation.On the Drake side, he’s been working hard to keep his name on top of the headlines for different reasons. Just last night at London’s Wireless Festival, Drake set the internet on fire by bringing out Lauryn Hill as a surprise guest. The crowd went absolutely wild when Lauryn transitioned from “Ex-Factor” into Drake’s “Nice For What,” which samples her classic. Social media was flooded with fans calling it “one of the most incredible things” they’d seen live. Drake didn’t share much on his own socials about the show, but the moment with Lauryn Hill has been replayed and talked about all over TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. Lauryn Hill herself also made waves by addressing her recent lateness at a festival, clarifying the delay was the festival’s fault and not hers—a move that got her a ton of support online.Drake keeps himself in the conversation not just with music, but with the company he keeps. There’s still chatter about his relationship with Travis Scott. Rumors of beef between them were pretty hot, especially since fans noticed Travis seemed to back Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” diss during the early days of the Drake-Kendrick feud. However, Travis just posted support for Drake’s new single “What Did I Miss?” on Instagram, which has people thinking the tension may have been overblown or possibly smoothed over in private. It’s a reminder that alliances in this world can shift fast, especially when there’s mutual benefit or mutual enemies.Speaking of alliances, Pusha T just confirmed in a new Breakfast Club interview that he was in regular contact with Kendrick throughout the Drake feud. Pusha T doubled down, telling Charlamagne Tha God that Kendrick’s lyrics are “truths that cut deep” and that’s what made Drake “tap out.” Pusha’s praise for Kendrick was pretty over the top, calling Lamar a lyricist who “talks to your soul.” This all comes as Clipse, Pusha’s duo, just dropped their comeback album “Let God Sort Em Out” featuring Kendrick on “Chains & Whips.” It’s clear that Pusha T and Kendrick are strategically aligning in the eyes of fans—and that narrative is all over Twitter and hip hop gossip sites.There’s also been social media drama about Drake’s relationships with sports figures. The NBA world has welcomed its own twist, with fans noting that LeBron James was seen vibing at Kendrick’s “Pop Out” concert, singing along to “Not Like Us.” Drake didn’t take kindly to that; lately he’s been showing more public support for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander instead of LeBron, which fans see as a subtle dig at Bron for “switching sides.” That’s gotten the basketball and music gossip worlds colliding, and people are definitely not letting it slide unnoticed.Thanks for tuning in to the Drake versus Lamar podcast—your weekly home for all the latest tea, analysis, and wildest fan theories surrounding hip hop’s greatest rivalry.

Feuds are as old as hip-hop itself, and often, they fuel creativity and public personas. One of the most captivating rivalries of recent years has been between two rap titans: Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Their lyrical sparring and subliminal jabs have left fans eagerly analyzing their every word, waiting for the next salvo in this ongoing battle. The Rise of Two Titans Drake's Journey to the Top Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, began his journey in the entertainment industry as an actor on the Canadian teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation. His transition from actor to rapper started with the release of his mixtape Room for Improvement (2006), followed by Comeback Season (2007), which showcased his unique blend of singing and rapping. Drake's breakthrough came with the release of his third mixtape So Far Gone in 2009, featuring hits like "Best I Ever Had" and "Successful." The mixtape's success earned him a deal with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment. His debut studio album Thank Me Later (2010) topped the Billboard 200 chart and solidified his place in the music industry. Over the next decade, Drake became synonymous with chart-topping hits like "God's Plan," "Hotline Bling," and "In My Feelings." His blend of introspective lyrics, catchy melodies, and versatile music style resonated with a global audience. Albums like Take Care (2011), Nothing Was the Same (2013), and Views (2016) showcased his growth as an artist, leading to numerous awards, including four Grammy Awards. Kendrick Lamar: Compton’s Poet Laureate Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth grew up in Compton, California, where he was inspired by the legacy of West Coast hip-hop legends like Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre. His first mixtape, Youngest Head Nigga in Charge (2003), released under the moniker K-Dot, hinted at his lyrical prowess. Kendrick's rise to prominence began with his acclaimed mixtape Overly Dedicated (2010) and was further solidified with his independent album Section.80 (2011). But it was his major-label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012), that cemented his place as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation. The album's storytelling, chronicling his teenage years in Compton, earned widespread critical acclaim. To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) elevated Kendrick to new heights, with its fusion of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, and its incisive exploration of race, politics, and identity. Songs like "Alright" became anthems for the Black Lives Matter movement. His follow-up album DAMN. (2017) won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, making Kendrick the first non-classical or jazz artist to receive the honor. Flashpoint: Origins of the Feud The seeds of the Drake-Kendrick rivalry were sown with subtle lyrical jabs that fans eagerly dissected. The tension became more apparent after Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Big Sean's track "Control" (2013), where he called out several rappers, including Drake, and proclaimed himself "the king of New York." Drake responded with comments dismissing Kendrick's claims, saying he was unaffected by them. This exchange set the tone for future subliminal shots, like Kendrick's "The Heart Part 4" (2017), where he implied Drake wasn't writing his lyrics, and Drake’s "Duppy Freestyle" (2018), which many interpreted as targeting Kendrick. Control Verse: The Turning Point Big Sean's track "Control" (2013), which featured Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, was the turning point that brought the simmering tension between Drake and Kendrick to the forefront. Kendrick's verse took aim at several notable rappers, including Drake, J. Cole, and Big Sean himself. Some lines specifically targeting Drake included: "I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' withBut this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is." While the verse didn't directly attack Drake, the competitive nature and self-proclaimed "king of New York" label stirred the pot. Drake's response in an interview with Billboard magazine was dismissive, stating, "I know good and well that Kendrick's not murdering me." Subliminal Jabs and Speculative Responses Over the next few years, both Drake and Kendrick continued their streak of chart-topping hits while taking subliminal jabs at each other: Kendrick's "The Heart Part 4" (2017): "Tables turn, lesson learned, my best look / You jumped sides on me, now you 'bout to meet Westbrook." Interpreted as a shot at Drake's infamous beef with Meek Mill and his switching affiliations between Young Money and OVO. Drake's "Duppy Freestyle" (2018): Although primarily aimed at Pusha T, many lines were seen as indirect shots at Kendrick. "I got a lot of friends within the rap game, but you ain't that, fam." 2015 BET Cypher and TDE vs. OVO The 2015 BET Cypher further fueled the rivalry, with TDE and OVO appearing in separate ciphers. Kendrick Lamar's cypher included lines perceived as jabs at Drake's "started from the bottom" narrative: "Nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control'And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes." The competitive energy between TDE and OVO was palpable, and fans began analyzing each lyric and social media post for hints of the ongoing rivalry. Impact on Their Music and Careers The rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar didn't just remain in the realm of subliminal jabs; it had a tangible impact on their music and careers. Both artists pushed their creative boundaries, often releasing their best work during this period. Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late (2015): Released as a surprise mixtape, it contained several tracks that fans interpreted as aimed at Kendrick. "Energy" and "6 God" reflected a more aggressive tone in Drake's music. Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly (2015): Songs like "King Kunta" and "The Blacker the Berry" addressed identity and power, with some lines hinting at the competitive rap landscape. The album's experimentation with jazz and funk showcased Kendrick's willingness to evolve artistically. Drake's Views (2016): Focused more on dancehall and pop sounds, moving away from the aggressive style of If You're Reading This It's Too Late. "Hype" and "Weston Road Flows" retained some competitive energy. Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. (2017): Tracks like "DNA." and "HUMBLE." were seen as power statements, reinforcing Kendrick's dominance. The album's Pulitzer Prize win cemented his place as a top-tier lyricist. 2018: "Sicko Mode" Collaboration and Pusha T Beef Despite the rivalry, Drake and Kendrick appeared on the same song in 2018. Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode" featured both artists, albeit in different sections, leaving many fans wondering if they had buried the hatchet. However, the feud with Pusha T reignited tensions. Drake vs. Pusha T Drake's long-standing beef with Pusha T reached new heights in 2018 when Pusha released "The Story of Adidon," exposing Drake's secret son. While Kendrick Lamar didn't directly involve himself, his collaboration with Pusha T on "Nosetalgia" (2013) and continued partnership with Kanye West hinted at implicit support. 2024: The Feud Reignites In May 2024, the rivalry reached new heights when Kendrick released a scathing diss track titled "Euphoria," aimed directly at Drake. The song is packed with personal attacks, questioning Drake's authenticity, work ethic, and even his use of the n-word. Kendrick throws shade at Drake's mob boss persona, questions the legitimacy of his physique, and challenges the quality of his music. Lines like, "You ain’t even write your own book, so what you preachin' for?" and "Fake abs and fake flows, who are you reachin' for?" left no doubt that Kendrick was coming for Drake's crown. Current Situation (May 2024) The release of "Euphoria" has reignited the rap world, with all eyes on Drake to see how he will respond. Speculation is rife that this could escalate the feud further, with Drake rumored to be preparing a diss track of his own. Public and Industry Reaction Fans and fellow artists have taken sides, dissecting the lyrics for hidden meanings. Some view Kendrick's track as a masterful takedown, while others await Drake's response. Industry insiders are watching closely, as a response from Drake could reshape the rap landscape. Social Commentary Embedded in "Euphoria" The social commentary embedded in "Euphoria" regarding cultural appropriation and racial identity adds another layer to the conflict. Kendrick raises questions about authenticity, particularly with Drake's use of the n-word and perceived cultural appropriation. Whatever happens next will likely only serve to pad the bank accounts of all involved. Thanks for listening- Remember to like and Share wherever you get your podcasts.
