Hello listeners, it’s Patrick, your go-to expert for all the latest buzz in hip-hop, and you already know I’m obsessed with every twist and turn in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. This past weekend has been wild, so let’s jump right in—there’s been everything from legal drama and social media shade to unexpected big brand betrayals, music references, and some spicy sports crossover.
First, the headlines have been dominated by Drake’s major legal loss in his battle against Kendrick Lamar’s now-legendary diss track, “Not Like Us.” A federal judge officially dismissed Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the lyrics, basically siding with Kendrick’s right to use artistic hyperbole in diss tracks. The judge made it crystal clear that these songs are all about exaggeration and artistic expression, not factual claims—so all those harsh lines, even the ones about Drake’s alleged associations or personal life, are just part of the game. For anyone following closely, this legal win just solidifies “Not Like Us” as a historic moment not just for Kendrick fans, but for hip-hop battles in general. The case even referenced Drake’s own track “Taylor Made Freestyle,” where he used an AI Tupac voice to allude to some controversial topics—the judge saw the whole feud as classic genre theatrics.
Meanwhile, Drake isn’t slowing down one bit. He’s kept busy with big plans, including international tours well into 2025 and plenty of talk about his upcoming album, “Iceman,” dropping later this year. Even with all the drama, the 6 God is laser-focused on his music and his brand.
But over on social media, things exploded thanks to the World Series. The Dodgers came from behind to beat Drake’s beloved Toronto Blue Jays—and the internet wasted no time, with Kendrick Lamar supporters taking victory laps at Drake’s expense. The “Drake curse” narrative is in full swing again, with fans pointing out that the Blue Jays started losing as soon as Drake showed up and started posting memes and taunts, especially after he tried to roast Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. “Never mention Shohei again,” one post read. Even rapper Glasses Malone chimed in, saying it was “God’s Plan”—putting another layer on the Drake-Kendrick saga.
Now, here’s where it gets wild: Nike, who usually stands firmly by Drake as a brand partner, dropped a commercial congratulating the Dodgers and used Kendrick’s “Squabble Up” as the soundtrack. This was seen across social channels as a deliberate jab at Drake, especially coming right after Dodgers fans and Kendrick stans roasted him online. It’s a risky and basically shocking move for Nike, considering Drake’s Nocta sneaker line is a big deal for them. LeBron James, himself a major Nike athlete, even got involved by reposting the Nike video with fire emojis on his Insta story, signaling that the sports world, like the music world, is choosing sides. All of this demonstrates how the Kendrick-Drake rivalry is now bigger than just hip-hop—it's all over pop culture, branding, and social media.
Drake’s fans have fired back, defending him and questioning the amount of focus Kendrick’s followers put on Drake, even after a huge sports win. The irony wasn’t lost on anyone: the Dodgers went back-to-back with their championships—the same title as Drake’s famous Meek Mill diss track, which Kendrick referenced in his own lyrics. It’s meme city out there, and if you’re obsessed like me, you know the online shots aren’t slowing down. Fox Sports MLB even threw Kendrick’s “DAMN.” into their own playful post game meme using both rappers’ photos.
Right now, the mood’s electric. Kendrick is enjoying the glowing aftermath of a Grammy-winning diss and a huge cultural moment, while Drake turns to teasing new music and keeping supporters hyped. Major brands, sports icons, and the entire internet are piling in, and the beef isn’t just living—it’s thriving.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
