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. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a beat, and come back next week for more Drake versus Lamar, where drama and drops never stop.
