"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.
