Drake is reportedly feeling “angry” following Kendrick Lamar’s provocative Super Bowl halftime performance, which reignited their ongoing rivalry. According to a source speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the Canadian rapper is displeased with Kendrick’s bold move of performing not one, but two tracks that take aim at him during one of the most-watched events in American television history.
During the halftime show, Kendrick delivered performances of “Euphoria” and his Grammy-winning hit “Not Like Us,” both of which contain pointed references to Drake. The tension between the two artists has long been a topic of discussion in the hip-hop community, and Kendrick’s choice to spotlight this rivalry on such a grand stage has only intensified the scrutiny.
The source revealed that while Drake is feeling the heat, he is trying to mask his emotions, acting as if he is unaffected by the public display. The phrase “no friends in the industry” was echoed in his reaction, highlighting a clear delineation between allies and adversaries in the competitive world of hip-hop. The source explained that Drake is attempting to maintain a facade of indifference, despite the apparent anger simmering beneath the surface.
Adding another layer to the drama, Kendrick’s halftime show featured surprise guest Serena Williams, who has a past romantic relationship with Drake. This unexpected appearance only fueled speculation about the dynamics at play between the artists. As millions tuned in—an audience estimated at 126 million—one can only imagine that Drake was among those watching closely.
In response to the escalating tension, Drake took to the stage during his ongoing tour in Australia, where he subtly addressed the situation by altering the lyrics to his song “Knife Talk.” He performed a line that resonated with the current beef, stating, “plenty times I survive, beef is live, spoiler alert I’ll never die.” This serves as a hint that the rivalry may not be settling down anytime soon.
As Kendrick declared “game over” at the conclusion of his performance, it is clear that the competitive spirit between him and Drake is far from finished. Fans of both artists are left to speculate what this latest chapter in their feud will bring, as both rappers appear to be gearing up for a prolonged battle in the spotlight. Each new development only adds intrigue to a rivalry that has captivated the hip-hop world for years, ensuring that the stakes remain high as the two artists navigate their respective careers.
