The reignited and resolved rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar comes after Drake recently appeared to send a message during a Sunshine State concert. The battle resumed following the release of Kendrick’s seething diss “Like That,” targeting Drake off Future and Metro Boomin’s latest project.
For years now, there has been bubbling tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, apparent in subtle jabs and references in each other’s music. Their first tunes were not yet so antagonistic, but each of the rappers wanted to demonstrate superiority. Looking from 2017, “4PM in Toronto” released by Drake and “ELEMENT.” by Kendrick Lamar fueled skepticism . The first artist hinted at success, the second – authenticity and industry . In 2023, Drake decided to return to this theme. He mentioned Kendrick on “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole . This fact has also inspired some readers’ speculation.
A major hike in the album’s severity arrived with Kendrick Lamar’s new track We Don’t Trust You , and the new track Like That dropped swiftly after that. Some of the lines from Like That include “Motherf**k the Big Three, it’s just Big Me”and “That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary,” widely perceived as specific barbs aimed at Drake.
Drake responds to Kendrick Lamar diss:
“I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m ten f**king toes down… and I know no matter what there’s not another n**** on this Earth that could ever f*ck with me

During his Florida concert, Drake delivered a powerful message that fans believe was a response to Kendrick’s diss. In a public service announcement (PSA), he declared his confidence and dominance, stating that “no matter what, it’s not a n**** on this earth that can ever fk with me in my life.” The question remains: will this be Drake’s only response, or is a full-fledged diss track on the horizon?
With Drake’s defiant message, the rap feud has reached a boiling point. The future is uncertain. Will we witness a lyrical showdown for the ages, or will cooler heads prevail?
