"Kendrick Lamar and Drake's Heated Feud: A Clash of Hip-Hop Titans"
About this Episode
Listen, listeners, Patrick here, and oh my goodness do I have some piping hot tea to spill about the Drake and Kendrick situation because these two simply cannot stay out of the headlines.
So just yesterday, November 28th, Kendrick's longtime security guard 2 Teez absolutely went OFF on social media. The Game had appeared on Big Boy TV claiming he tried to sign Kendrick back in the day before he blew up, right? Well 2 Teez was having absolutely none of it. He posted on social media saying "Blood faking he never wanted to sign Kendrick!!!!" and then doubled down with another Instagram Story post making it crystal clear that he's not letting anyone reshape Kendrick's origin story for clout or attention. This is wild because it shows Kendrick's whole camp is still in protection mode, making sure nobody rewrites the narrative about how K.Dot rose to prominence.
But wait, there's more. Just a couple days ago on November 25th, Metro Boomin sat down for an interview on STREETZ 94.5 and he revisited the entire 2024 Drake and Kendrick beef. And get this, he said he didn't take any of it seriously. His exact words were basically "It's WWE, man," comparing the whole thing to professional wrestling entertainment. That's hilarious because here we are watching these two titans go back and forth with actual lawsuits and career implications, and Metro Boomin's over there treating it like scripted drama.
Speaking of the legal side of things, we've still got Drake pursuing his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick's "Not Like Us" track. Drake is demanding the label turn over Kendrick's contract and information about various allegations. The whole situation is absolutely bonkers because both Drake and Kendrick are signed to different divisions of the same parent company, which makes this even messier.
And here's what's really got me obsessed right now. Drake released a diss track called "The Heart Part 6" earlier in the year where he denied all the sexual predator allegations that Kendrick had been throwing at him in tracks like "Meet the Grahams." Drake was adamant, saying "I've Never Been With Anyone Underage" and that he's "never been charged with, or convicted of, any criminal acts whatsoever." The allegations have gotten so serious that Drake even sued Universal claiming they approved and launched a campaign to create viral hits out of tracks accusing him of being a pedophile.
Now here's the thing that really shows how deep this goes. Drake apparently fired his booking manager Brent Smith from Wasserman Music because Smith also represented Kendrick. According to reports, Drake basically said if he's gonna have an agent, that agent cannot be representing his opposition. He's also been passively distancing himself from NBA stars like LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, probably because of their connections to Kendrick's world.
But the most recent development that has me absolutely shook is that Drake is preparing to roll out his ninth studio album called Iceman, and according to hip-hop influencer DJ Akademiks, Drake wants to dethrone Kendrick. Now get this, Kendrick went on the Grand National tour with SZA after dropping his album GNX in November 2024, and that tour became the highest-grossing global hip-hop tour of all time with 336 million dollars in ticket sales. Drake already holds the record for the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in the United States with his 2024 "It's All A Blur" tour that made 302 million. Akademiks believes Drake wants to beat that world record going into next year.
So listeners, this beef is far from over. We're talking lawsuits, album wars, tour battles, and social media callouts happening in real time. The tension between these two camps is absolutely electric, and honestly, I cannot look away.
