Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud has absolutely dominated the culture these past few days, with new music and spicy social media reactions fueling the fire nonstop. Let’s dive into what’s been going down for all my fellow bickering-obsessed listeners. Drake just dropped a brand new single called "Dog House" featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf, and socials are lit with takes: a lot of fans claim Yeat totally outshined Drake on his own track—honestly, Twitter and TikTok are packed with people clowning Drizzy, saying Yeat “washed” him and that Drake sounded low-energy compared to his young collaborator. Julia Wolf, for her part, is loving every second, posting genuine freakouts and disbelief about being on a song with both superstars. Drake teased the track in his latest Iceman livestream, which has been building buzz for his next album, and his European tour stops are coming up just as this single heats the debate.

But the drama isn’t just about music, because behind the scenes, long-running tensions are bubbling. Social media’s still chattering about that leaked Young Thug phone call, where Thug accuses Drake of being insensitive to Metro Boomin after the tragic loss of Metro’s mother. This shed new light on the Drake vs. Metro Boomin tension: apparently Drake was more focused on work than offering support, which seriously disappointed Thug. For listeners who love the behind-the-scenes tea, this adds a whole other layer to the current rap cold war.

And if you thought the Kendrick side of the drama was quieting down, think again. Kendrick Lamar recently performed “Not Like Us” in Toronto—Drake’s own backyard—and the crowd completely lost it. That performance was a huge moment: Kendrick’s diss tracks “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us” not only called out Drake’s credibility, rap persona, and alleged “culture vulture” moves, but also made headlines for just how savage he got. He slammed Drake for allegedly using collaborations for clout and status, and called him out for trying too hard to fit into scenes he supposedly doesn’t belong to. Those lyrics are still being quoted and meme’d everywhere. Drake, by the way, addressed some of the “culture vulture” accusations in a new interview, saying he’s hurt by people spinning his collaborations as self-serving, and that his intentions have always been pure, but honestly, fans aren’t letting him off that easy.

Even SZA’s been sucked into the crossfire. Drake name-checked her in a leaked diss aimed at Kendrick, putting her in that “Big 3” conversation, and SZA’s reaction was all meme—she wasn’t having it, posting that classic NeNe Leakes “Now why am I in this?” video. The internet loved that. SZA and Drake’s own recent collabs have also gotten dissected, especially after she said she thought Drake might sabotage her with some less-than-polished vocals. That brought up some nostalgia and more old drama about their relationship way back.

This feud has hit every corner: from the public arena to private phone calls, from new tracks to meme reactions—it’s truly everywhere. For the latest, everybody’s keeping a close eye on Drake’s upcoming album, especially if he’ll fire any more shots at Kendrick or anyone else who’s been throwing shade. The tension behind Drake and his producers 40 and Boi-1da has even gotten some new attention, with Stat Quo claiming they “hated each other for years,” which, honestly, just adds to the sense that problems are bubbling up all around the OVO camp.
