Drake VS. Kendrick Lamar - What's The Beef?

Alright, everyone, you’re listening to the Drake versus Lamar podcast, and I’m Patrick—your gossip and news expert with a borderline obsession for everything Drake, Lamar, and all the spicy drama between them. There’s been a ton to unpack over the past few days, so let’s dive into what’s really shaking up the socials, the music world, and even awards shows.First up, let’s talk about Drake’s latest move. He just dropped the music video for his new song “Nokia” from the album “Some Sexy Songs 4 U,” and, wow, people are dissecting every frame. The black-and-white visuals, the old-school cell phones, and especially all those owls—fans are convinced this is a direct shot back at Kendrick. Remember how Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video ended with him locking up an owl in a cage? That owl is Drake’s signature, his brand, his whole thing. Now in “Nokia,” he’s got not just one but six owls, all free, chilling, not caged. Listeners, if that ain’t subtle, nothing is. Social media’s going wild with deep fandom theories: “From the owl’s viewpoint, it’s free…no worries in sight. From the hater’s viewpoint, the owl was caged, but little does he know…never that.” Fans are calling Drake “calculated” for working in references to Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” video choreography and even the way the video was shot. Some are on Twitter (X, whatever) saying, “Drake’s trolling Kendrick with every detail—handshakes, birds-eye views, dad dances, all of it.” There’s even chatter about how the whole “Nokia” concept—the nigh-indestructible phone—might be Drake slyly saying, “You can’t break me, Lamar.”But let’s not forget, this feud isn’t just about clever videos. We’re still feeling the aftershocks from the Super Bowl halftime show, where Lamar performed “Not Like Us” and called Drake out with major, stage-level theatrics—think Serena Williams cameo, subtle jewelry jabs, all that. And just when you thought things were quiet, there’s the ongoing drama with Drake’s lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing them of launching “Not Like Us” with full knowledge of its harsh accusations. UMG’s fighting back, calling the lawsuit a sore-loser move, and frankly, the whole industry’s watching to see how this plays out. No resolution yet, but even that legal back-and-forth is fueling the gossip cycle.Meanwhile, the rest of the rap world can’t get enough. There’s chatter about where J. Cole is in all this. DJ Akademiks just tweeted, “Whatever happened to J. Cole? Dude started the beef, lined up Drake to battle Kendrick, then dipped out.” That’s kind of true, isn’t it? Cole did jump into the fray, dropped a diss, apologized, and now he’s MIA—reportedly working on new music, but keeping low. Some feel he bailed because, in the end, it’s not worth losing a friend over some internet clout. He even said in a recent song, “They wanted blood, they wanted clicks, but I pulled the plug because I would’ve lost a bro and gained a foe.” So, while Drake and Kendrick are still trading blows, Cole’s watching from the sidelines, focused on his next project.Oh, and let’s not forget the comedy world is jumping in on the action. Tina Fey just hosted the Emmys and while announcing nominations, slipped in some playful shade about the Drake-Lamar feud. She didn’t name them directly, but it was clear enough for anyone who’s keeping up with hip-hop headlines. Even awards shows don’t mind poking the bear—it just goes to show how much this beef has crossed over into mainstream pop culture.On the music front, Drake’s teasing a new album, “Iceman,” expected later this year. That’s gonna be one to watch, because you know he’ll drop more hints, jabs, and maybe even a whole diss track, depending on how things go. Right now, the vibe is neither of them is backing down. The owls are free, the bars are flying, and the internet is feasting on every detail.So, listeners, buckle up. Social media’s got a new theory every hour, the industry’s watching, and I’m Patrick, here to keep you in the loop.

Listeners, the past few days in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud have been absolutely explosive on social media, with new layers of drama surfacing from every corner of the hip hop world. Drake gave a candid interview on Bobbi Althoff's Not This Again podcast, finally opening up about the intense scrutiny he’s faced ever since Lamar started slinging those culture vulture accusations. Lamar’s “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us” tracks went heavy on the criticism—calling Drake out as a colonizer, a manipulator, even a scam artist—and fans have been dissecting every bar. Drake says he feels misunderstood, insisting his collabs are about helping new artists shine, not using them for clout, and he admitted the accusations do actually get under his skin.The feud ripples even further into the rap community. Young Thug just dropped his emotional apology track “Man I Miss My Dogs,” where he openly pleads for reconciliation with both Drake and Future, and gives Drake his flowers for always supporting him—even visiting Thug in jail. Drake responded with a quiet but meaningful Instagram “like” on Thug’s post, and listeners are reading that as a possible olive branch, especially since Thug specifically asks for Metro Boomin and Future to squash their beef. Young Thug’s new album “UY Scuti” is coming out September 19, and fans are buzzing to see if any surprises or peace offerings land in the tracklist.In the world of hip hop podcasting and commentary, DJ Akademiks has been stirring the pot, loudly denying rumors that Drake’s ongoing lawsuit with Universal Music Group is tangled up in any RICO investigations related to radio payola. Akademiks thinks Drake should actually set his legal sights on Kendrick Lamar and pursue a defamation case, rather than bother with UMG, especially since the key complaints are about bot-driven streaming and the huge impact of “Not Like Us.” The lawsuit drama and legal mudslinging over streaming numbers are still swirling—UMG’s CEO shot back at Drake publicly just as evidence from Drake’s side started coming in.Meanwhile, social media erupted again after a documentary scene showed Drake bluntly claiming he doesn’t care if other artists hate his music—“I don’t give a f**k,” he said. But that triggered reminders of how, when critics like Anthony Fantano or Joe Budden have come after Drake, he’s been far from indifferent, famously unloading on Budden in a fiery Instagram tirade and sliding into Fantano’s DMs with cookie recipes and sharp jabs.And let’s not forget DJ Khaled, who, ever the optimist, keeps preaching that peace can be restored between Drake, Future, and Rick Ross, pointing out that beefs like these happen every day in close circles. Still, listeners know the messy back-and-forth on social media between Ross and Drake—nose job rumors, shady comments, and all—mean that cool heads haven’t prevailed just yet.With Young Thug’s public apology, Kendrick’s relentless bars, and the legal battles heating up, fans everywhere have been glued to every social feed and podcast drop. Drake’s next move is anybody’s guess—will he stick to his tough talk or finally try to end one of the most compelling feuds in hip-hop history?Listeners, thanks for tuning in to the Drake versus Lamar podcast!

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud has absolutely dominated the culture these past few days, with new music and spicy social media reactions fueling the fire nonstop. Let’s dive into what’s been going down for all my fellow bickering-obsessed listeners. Drake just dropped a brand new single called "Dog House" featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf, and socials are lit with takes: a lot of fans claim Yeat totally outshined Drake on his own track—honestly, Twitter and TikTok are packed with people clowning Drizzy, saying Yeat “washed” him and that Drake sounded low-energy compared to his young collaborator. Julia Wolf, for her part, is loving every second, posting genuine freakouts and disbelief about being on a song with both superstars. Drake teased the track in his latest Iceman livestream, which has been building buzz for his next album, and his European tour stops are coming up just as this single heats the debate.But the drama isn’t just about music, because behind the scenes, long-running tensions are bubbling. Social media’s still chattering about that leaked Young Thug phone call, where Thug accuses Drake of being insensitive to Metro Boomin after the tragic loss of Metro’s mother. This shed new light on the Drake vs. Metro Boomin tension: apparently Drake was more focused on work than offering support, which seriously disappointed Thug. For listeners who love the behind-the-scenes tea, this adds a whole other layer to the current rap cold war.And if you thought the Kendrick side of the drama was quieting down, think again. Kendrick Lamar recently performed “Not Like Us” in Toronto—Drake’s own backyard—and the crowd completely lost it. That performance was a huge moment: Kendrick’s diss tracks “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us” not only called out Drake’s credibility, rap persona, and alleged “culture vulture” moves, but also made headlines for just how savage he got. He slammed Drake for allegedly using collaborations for clout and status, and called him out for trying too hard to fit into scenes he supposedly doesn’t belong to. Those lyrics are still being quoted and meme’d everywhere. Drake, by the way, addressed some of the “culture vulture” accusations in a new interview, saying he’s hurt by people spinning his collaborations as self-serving, and that his intentions have always been pure, but honestly, fans aren’t letting him off that easy.Even SZA’s been sucked into the crossfire. Drake name-checked her in a leaked diss aimed at Kendrick, putting her in that “Big 3” conversation, and SZA’s reaction was all meme—she wasn’t having it, posting that classic NeNe Leakes “Now why am I in this?” video. The internet loved that. SZA and Drake’s own recent collabs have also gotten dissected, especially after she said she thought Drake might sabotage her with some less-than-polished vocals. That brought up some nostalgia and more old drama about their relationship way back.This feud has hit every corner: from the public arena to private phone calls, from new tracks to meme reactions—it’s truly everywhere. For the latest, everybody’s keeping a close eye on Drake’s upcoming album, especially if he’ll fire any more shots at Kendrick or anyone else who’s been throwing shade. The tension behind Drake and his producers 40 and Boi-1da has even gotten some new attention, with Stat Quo claiming they “hated each other for years,” which, honestly, just adds to the sense that problems are bubbling up all around the OVO camp.Thanks so much for tuning in to this week’s Drake versus Lamar podcast—make sure you subscribe, because the drama is evolving by the hour, and we’ll always be here to break it down first.

Listeners, the last three days have been a whirlwind for anyone obsessed with the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, and you know Patrick is right here to give you every juicy update. Since both artists have been at the center of social media storm after storm, let's dive deep into everything that's been happening.Drake has finally broken his silence publicly after Kendrick's savage “Not Like Us” swept the Grammys and social feeds. At the kickoff of Drake’s Anita Max Win Tour in Australia, he took the stage with an entrance that was pure viral magnet—he wore a hoodie covered in faux bullet holes, strutting through smoke alluding to the heated drama. Drake didn’t hold back during his speech, reminding fans that he’s still “very much alive”—a clear rebuttal against all the memes and Kendrick lines painting him as washed up or exposed. He even teased that his next project is coming soon, with a collab album alongside PARTYNEXTDOOR, which got some people buzzing that Drake is trying to channel new energy after the feud fallout.The feud itself is nowhere near cooled down. Drake is still locked in a lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing them of helping push Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” to viral success with defamatory lines about him. Universal's CEO Lucian Grainge clapped back publicly, calling Drake's lawsuit “farcical” and insisting UMG has invested hundreds of millions in Drake and would never plot against their own superstar. The company flatly denied Drake’s claims and said his lawsuit seems more about forcing renegotiations than protecting his name.The diss track drama has led to new waves of analysis and memes across TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, with fans picking apart every lyric and even using AI to mash up imagined responses. Kendrick’s punchlines, especially those alleging Drake chases co-signs from Southern rappers and labeling him a “colonizer,” are being quoted everywhere, especially with “Not Like Us” still getting club spins even months later.Drake’s recent interview with Bobbi Althoff stirred the pot even more as he got defensive about being called a “culture vulture,” a major theme Kendrick hammered in their beef. Drake argued that his collaborations come from a genuine place, but the internet isn’t buying it, and the culture vulture discourse refuses to die. Ghostface Killah even popped up, telling Drake on TMZ to “chill out”—basically, stop being so sensitive and move past the hate—a message that went viral and got fans debating if Drake has truly lost his edge.Meanwhile, Kendrick seems unbothered and triumphant as clips keep circulating of him performing “Not Like Us” right in Drake's own backyard in Toronto, to a rapturous crowd. For the culture, it feels like Kendrick scored the win, but Drake’s diehards are quick to point out he’s still got the hits, the tours, and he’s teasing a new album, refusing to disappear quietly from the conversation.Even sports and pop culture have gotten in on the fun. ESPN’s Taylor Davis went viral for rapping along word-for-word with Drake’s verse during a football game, which reminded everyone just how deeply both of these artists penetrate mainstream culture. Drake’s streams—most recently his much-hyped but fan-disappointing “ICEMAN” livestream—are still appointment viewing, with friends like Kai Cenat keeping it very real about their opinions, adding to fan frenzy and meme fire.This entire saga still holds the attention of every corner of the internet, from legal drama, on-stage calls-outs, and high-profile interviews to fans making their own diss track parodies. Both camps remain unrelenting, and every tiny move is scrutinized and stirs up waves of conversation.Thank you all so much for listening to the Drake versus Lamar podcast.

Listeners, the past few days in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar saga have been absolutely electric—no signs of slowing down, and the headlines just keep coming. If you’ve been glued to social media and the latest gossip, it’s clear the feud has spun into new territory, and both rappers are giving us drama that’s as messy and personal as hip-hop has ever seen.Let’s start with Kendrick. Over the weekend, Kendrick dropped the diss track “Not Like Us”—and it went totally nuclear. He accused Drake of being a “pedophile,” going so far as to call him a “certified pedophile” and claim Drake likes his women young. Kendrick ramped up the attacks with flashy cover art showing Drake’s house with sex offender beacons, and he didn’t stop there. Before “Not Like Us,” Kendrick released “Meet The Grahams” and called out NBA superstars LeBron James and Steph Curry to avoid Drake, labeling him a “pervert.” That’s wild enough on its own, but Kendrick threw in another bomb, accusing Drake of hiding a secret daughter. Drake’s camp, according to TMZ, called that claim a total fabrication and said there’s no secret child in the picture.Now flip the script and look at Drake, who keeps firing back with his own blend of wit and venom. His track “Family Matters” is making headlines for the ugly speculation it launches at Kendrick, specifically implying that Kendrick’s fiancée Whitney Alford had an affair with Kendrick’s manager and creative partner, Dave Free. That’s some next-level pettiness! All these accusations are swirling out on social, with fans dissecting every lyric and sharing receipts. Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram are ablaze, with everyone picking sides and dropping their own theories.Away from the music, Drake is fighting fires on other fronts too. On social media, a stylist named Asiah Knowles accused Drake of threatening to repossess a car he’d gifted her. The screenshots took off everywhere, but Drake shot back to The Shade Room saying he’s never met Knowles, and her Instagram account soon vanished. Some fans are defending Drake, saying the alleged chat looks fake—others believe the drama runs deeper.Legal drama’s still in play, with Drake’s label Universal Music Group responding after Drake accused the label of artificially boosting Kendrick’s streaming numbers for “Not Like Us.” UMG flat-out denied any scheme involving bots or pay-to-play, and emphasized the battle’s diss tracks are full of wild insults that aren’t meant to be taken as literal facts. The song, by the way, debuted at number one on the Hot 100 and cleaned up at the Grammys while fueling all this drama.On social media, Drake is catching heat for a different reason after posting a shirtless selfie with lots of liquor in the background. Some fans are claiming his abs are fake, and the post only seemed to stoke the controversy instead of cooling things off. Drake’s also been dropping hints that people in his circle have bailed on him since all the drama blew up. Recent tweets and cryptic captions signal he feels the sting of betrayal.Meanwhile, Kendrick’s been busy too, touring with SZA and riding the success of their joint tracks, with subtle lyrical nods to the beef popping up in their live performances. Fans are parsing every line, wondering if SZA’s “30 for 30” with Kendrick contains hidden shade aimed at Drake.What’s fascinating is how their peers are responding. Detroit rapper 42 Dugg has come out defending Drake and saying hip-hop culture has unfairly turned on him, claiming Drake has helped put hundreds of artists on. Offset echoed similar support, crediting Drake for being fair and generous when the Migos were coming up.Still, the streets (and socials!) are split: some say the battle is good for the culture, bringing out two of the era’s best MCs at their most lyrical, while others say it’s gone too personal and toxic.Thanks for tuning in to the Drake versus Lamar podcast—make sure to subscribe, and come back next week for more piping hot updates and deeper dives into their world.

Listeners, the past few days in the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar saga have truly been wild, so let me break down the latest drama and gossip making waves across social media and the news. The biggest headline right now is that Drake has officially taken his feud with Kendrick Lamar from tracks to the courtroom. According to Infotel News, Drake has filed an amended defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick's explosive diss track "Not Like Us," especially targeting Kendrick's performance at this year’s Super Bowl, where he performed the track for over 133 million viewers. Drake's complaint claims the whole halftime show felt orchestrated to assassinate his character, and though Kendrick removed the most inflammatory lyric for the broadcast, Drake argues that just proves "everyone understands it is defamatory." His legal team says Universal used business and financial muscle to put Kendrick front and center at the Super Bowl, and now Drake wants to expose UMG’s actions in court.But Universal isn’t backing down, and they’re fighting to dismiss Drake’s suit, saying Drake "lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated," and filing a lawsuit is just an attempt to "salve his wounds." AllHipHop reports that Drake is now demanding personal documents about Kendrick—like contracts and even the pay records of Interscope’s CEO—hoping they’ll reveal some financial motive behind Kendrick dropping that track.While all this legal drama explodes, social media is absolutely melting down with opinions. There’s a ton of chatter about how the entire industry seems to have turned on Drake, with Detroit rapper 42 Dugg stepping in to defend him on X. Dugg says Drake’s helped put hundreds of rappers on, and that if someone at Drake’s level can be cast aside, then "no one is safe." But fans and rappers online push back, saying Drake just jumps on hot tracks to stay relevant and amplifies careers more for his own benefit than anyone else.Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is riding high after taking home several Grammys for "Not Like Us", with Lamar’s camp celebrating their wins while Drake remains somewhat silent regarding that Grammy night. Drake did make a point of telling his fans onstage during his Australian tour that he’s "very much alive" and thanked them for supporting him through all the madness—surrounded by a cloud of faux bullet holes as a not-so-subtle nod to the drama.Eminem even jumped into the feud with his latest track "Lucifer," and hip-hop blogs like FandomWire and AllHipHop say that Eminem’s sharp lines seem to side with Kendrick, leaving Drake’s fans fuming and stirring up even more debate in hip-hop circles. Add to that the Fourth of July drama: photos emerged of Drake at Michael Rubin’s White Party, looking, as Kendrick fans have not-so-kindly pointed out, noticeably stressed and aged since the beef started heating up. Comments on Instagram and X are all about Drake “feeling the pressure” while Kendrick, in the words of one viral meme, “puts the finishing bow” on his big win.Outside the feud, Drake stirred up more controversy by gushing over Gracie Abrams on Instagram. He posted about their shared birthmarks, calling it “art,” and social media was quick to call his post “weird,” “creepy,” and just generally side-eye it. X, formerly Twitter, is full of jokes and memes, with some users poking fun at Drake’s increasingly stan-like posts about Gracie. Abrams herself hasn’t publicly responded yet, but the online discourse is relentless.That wraps up the latest, relentless cycle of tea, drama, and meme madness around Drake and Lamar.

It’s been a wild few days in the ongoing Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, and let me tell you, the drama meter is still ticking way off the charts. Things went legal this week, with Drake filing not one but two explosive legal actions involving Kendrick, Universal Music Group, iHeartMedia, and even Spotify. First, there’s a pre-suit deposition in Bexar County, Texas, where Drake is accusing Lamar and Universal Music Group of defamation because of lyrics in “Not Like Us,” that vicious diss track. Drake’s legal team alleges Universal and iHeartMedia are in on a pay-to-play scheme, and there’s also some shade thrown about whether Universal should have even allowed some of those lines. In that now infamous song, Kendrick calls Drake a “certified pedophile,” which has gone viral with fans and critics endlessly debating how far is too far in a rap beef.But that’s not all – Drake is also going after Universal and Spotify in New York Supreme Court, claiming Universal may have used bots to inflate “Not Like Us” streams. Billboard was all over this, reporting that the song is nearing an astonishing 900 million streams on Spotify alone, which has only fueled more online conspiracy theories about streaming numbers and manipulation.Meanwhile, Kendrick hasn’t responded much directly in the past few days, but his silence is being interpreted all sorts of ways by listeners and social media. The tension is so thick right now, and you can practically feel social platforms buzzing—Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram are all lit up. The fandoms on both sides are escalating things. Pro-Kendrick stans are making memes and dancing on Drake’s legal moves, while Drake fans are calling out “industry bias” and posting about how the legal moves are just Drake “playing chess not checkers.”On another front, Drake is doing what he does best—commandeering the spotlight. He’s been actively flaunting his love for hip-hop history, going viral again by buying Tupac’s original Death Row pendant and showing it off on Instagram. Power 105.1 and other hip-hop outlets have been highlighting how Drake is honoring 2Pac’s legacy, and fans are reading into this as both a flex and a subtle dig at Kendrick, since Kendrick has famously called himself the “New Pac.” Drake’s Instagram has been all about this moment, making sure everyone sees it as a victory lap after the legal fireworks.Oh, and speaking of lap, don’t sleep on the fact that Drake and Kendrick are locked in a super tight race for the best-selling hip-hop album of the year, with Drake’s “Some Sexy” and Kendrick’s “GNX” dominating charts and social buzz, according to Hot New Hip Hop. Social media, especially Instagram fan pages like that “drakeworshipper” account, are playfully roasting and hyping every turn, even making jokes about Kendrick “dropping his phone” when Drake posts something new.And just to add fuel to the fire, Drake is once again throwing support behind Tory Lanez, going on comment sections and taking shots at journalists, which has stirred up whole new waves of debate among listeners about loyalty and controversy in the industry. Drake is on tour in Europe at the moment, but even from overseas it feels like every move is a message—about dominance, relevance, and resilience.I know all of you are obsessed with the blow-by-blow drama as much as I am. That’s the latest on Drake and Kendrick—the legal drama, the chart wars, the trolling on Instagram, and every high-stakes moment. Thanks so much for tuning into the Drake versus Lamar podcast.

Listeners, let’s get right into the latest twists and tea on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, which has totally dominated not just rap and the charts, but social media and even the courtrooms this week. First off, the flames of their rivalry are burning even hotter, with Drake now fully involved in a high-stakes court battle with Universal Music Group over Kendrick’s Grammy-winning diss track “Not Like Us.” Kendrick’s lyrics, which called Drake a “certified pedophile” and made some seriously wild claims about secret children, kicked off a media storm and left both legal teams trading major shots. Kendrick even made jaws drop with that slick smile during his Super Bowl halftime performance as he delivered another shot at Drake, sparking endless memes and reactions online.What’s got people buzzing even more is that Drake hasn’t been shy—he’s now firing back not just through his legal team but also through music and social media. Drake released his music video for “Nokia,” and fans immediately clocked its black-and-white aesthetic as a possible nod, or diss, right back at Kendrick’s “Not Like Us.” Meanwhile, the chatter hasn’t just been limited to bars and court filings. Drake popped up on a live Adin Ross stream, using the platform to throw more shade, proving he lives for the drama just as much as the fans do.This beef has escalated beyond just the two of them—now Eminem’s entered the ring, and let me tell you, hip-hop is shook. With his latest track “Lucifer,” Eminem seemed to side with Kendrick, which has Drake’s camp absolutely raging. All across X and Instagram, Drake supporters are heated, with some venting that Shady stabbed Drizzy in the back, while Kendrick stans are celebrating what they see as a passing of the torch in lyrical warfare.But it’s not all scathing diss tracks and lawsuits—there’s a light, messy twist with Drake’s surprise reunion with Bobbi Althoff, the viral podcaster. Just yesterday, Bobbi teased Drake as her first guest for her brand new podcast, “Not This Again,” rekindling headlines after their previous interview drama last year. Internet detectives and hip-hop Twitter can’t stop speculating whether Drake is just doing charity for Bobbi’s podcast career—or if maybe he’s dodging all the Kendrick heat by focusing on lighter press. The clips from their new teaser are blowing up, showing the two in bed together for promo, riffing and roasting each other, and of course, bringing more meme material with every exchange. Some fans are saying Drake’s doing this to “renew her clout,” while others joke that it’s another stunt to distract from Kendrick’s diss records.Online, the narrative is wild and a bit divided, with Kendrick getting support for winning at both the artistic and narrative game, especially since “Not Like Us” keeps charting and winning Grammys. Meanwhile, Drake’s strategic moves—whether suing UMG, dropping ambiguous music videos, or cozying up with podcasters—are getting dissected at every turn, with everyone from stan accounts to mainstream gossip sites picking apart every detail.That wraps up all the drama, leaks, clapbacks, and speculation bubbling up around Drake and Kendrick for now.
