Listeners, the Drake and Lamar feud is still the talk of music and social media, and the last few days have only added more fuel to the fire. On one side, Drake stays in the headlines for reasons both related and unrelated to the drama, with his Instagram blowing up after he posted a shirtless mirror selfie—people are gossiping nonstop, saying he’s got fake abs and dunking on his caption game, while others are just dying to know what brands he’s lining up on his counter. Add to that, he’s been showing off loaded safes and stashes and generally flexing more than usual on Instagram, maybe as a way of keeping his image loud and confident in the face of all the controversy swirling around him.
Meanwhile, the feud’s legal fallout keeps escalating. Drake is locked in a major court battle with Universal Music Group, targeting Lamar’s now-iconic track “Not Like Us,” which Drake says paints him in a criminal light and was pushed everywhere—including the Super Bowl and the Grammys—just to damage his name. The Hollywood Reporter and KoiMoi say Drake’s lawsuit even claims UMG fueled Kendrick’s streaming numbers using bots and artificial streaming manipulation, making the song’s success suspicious and possibly inflated, a charge UMG flatly denies. Just this week, a judge let Drake subpoena a prime witness accused of organizing these so-called “bot farms,” hinting that the legal fight is nowhere close to resolved.
“Not Like Us” itself has turned into a cultural sledgehammer—not only did it win big at the Grammys, but Apple Music just named it Global Song of the Year, and streaming charts are still going wild over it. Kendrick’s fans are throwing jabs online, with memes and digital “vandalism” targeting Drake’s house on Google Maps, labeling it “Owned by Kendrick” or “CertifiedKidLover,” and riffs referencing his most cutting lyrics. The climate online is as ruthless and creative as any diss track, with both artists’ camps stoking their own side of the narrative.
Of course, there’s still fallout from earlier feuds, too. J. Cole—who was briefly mixed into this mess after he called Drake, Kendrick, and himself the “big three” of hip hop—famously apologized after dropping his own diss track at Kendrick. Artists like JID are still weighing in, with social media dissecting every move Cole, Drake, and Lamar make both in and out of the booth. Hip hop fans are all over every development, debating not just the music but also the ethics of streaming manipulation, authenticity, and the personal attacks that have now spilled into the courts and awards ceremonies.
As it stands, neither side shows signs of backing down, with both artists flexing on social and in the press. Drake’s beef is now as much about the image war and legal sagas as the music, while Lamar is riding a massive career high with top-billing festival slots, streaming wins, and Grammy glory. The gossip machine is revved up and listening closer than ever for the next diss, post, or court twist.
