Explosive Drake-Kendrick Feud Escalates: Viral Moments, Legal Battles, and New Music Teases
Update: 2025-09-06
Description
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.
