The ongoing feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar took another turn recently as Drake appeared to respond to Lamar’s swipe during a live performance on his It’s All a Blur co-headline tour with J Cole.

Rumors of tension between the two rap heavyweights have been circulating for years, with Lamar’s recent guest verse on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin adding fuel to the fire. In the track, Lamar seemed to directly respond to Drake’s 2023 song “First Person Shooter”, where Cole raps about the “big three” of himself, Kendrick Lamar (K-Dot), and Drake.

On “Like That”, Lamar dismisses the idea of a “big three,” asserting his dominance as an individual artist: “Motherf*** the big three, n***a, it’s just big me,” he rapped. “N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that / And your best work is a light pack.” Meanwhile, Drake compared his commercial success to that of Michael Jackson, prompting Lamar to reference the historic beef between Michael Jackson and Prince during the Eighties: “N***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack.”

During his performance, Drake addressed the situation, urging the audience to walk out feeling empowered. While some fans cheered his speech, others expressed the need for Drake to respond with another track rather than just speeches.

As the tension between the two rappers continues to escalate, fans eagerly await the next move in this ongoing saga. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
