Latto Shares Her Take On Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Fierce Feud

by

It’s no secret that Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral beef left fans split. While many opted to pick a side in the explosive feud, others remained neutral and decided instead to weigh in on the overall impact of the lyrical battle itself. This includes Latto, who recently shared her take on it during an interview with Billboard. According to her, it was an impressive display of each artist’s skills and was positive for hip-hop as a whole.

“I ain’t going to lie: I liked it! I liked the back-and-forth, I thought it was healthy for the culture. It just felt nostalgic. I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that, I f****d with it,” she said of the battle. “I feel like it’s two n****s that’s killing this s**t and they both so talented, and they both on they high horse flexing their talent and capabilities. They both still that n****s, they both still the GOAT. That s**t fye for the culture, bruh.”

Latto’s been wrapped up in a bit of a feud herself with none other than Ice Spice, though she explained during the interview that she’s not taking it too seriously. According to her, it doesn’t seem as though the Bronx-born performer is interested in a full-fledged beef, so she’s opted to keep it light.

“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with,” she claimed. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes.” What do you think of Latto’s take on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral feud? Do you agree with her or not?

Drake Would Run Into Trouble If He Played “Family Matters” In Los Angeles According To Wack 100

by

Wack 100’s spoken a lot on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, including a previous claim that Drizzy isn’t really in any danger in Los Angeles. However, his new interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV changed tones slightly, suggesting that things could turn confrontational if the Toronto superstar chose to diss K.Dot in his home city. Furthermore, for the music executive, this parallels Rick Ross’ recent incident in Canada where he played a diss against the 6ix God. Most importantly, though, Wack commented on how this beef is praiseworthy for its aversion to violence, contrasting with Boosie Badazz’s recent statements to Vlad about rap beef turning violent.

“If Drake went to The Forum right now and performed ‘Family Matters,’ it would be a problem. The crowd would respond. You know what I’m saying?” Wack 100’s comments on the Kendrick Lamar beef began. “And that’s what makes this rap beef so monumental: it’s not built on any of that [violence]. There’s not even an inkling on that anywhere. There’s nobody on Kendrick’s side saying, ‘We can’t wait to run into Drake.’ Nobody on Drake’s side said, ‘We gon’ drop a bag on Kendrick.’ Actually, it’s people in the middle of it that’s talking to both sides who said, ‘Aright, are we done? We’re done.’ Drake knew that they was gon’ shoot the video. He was warned. ‘Yo, they gon’ shoot this video.’ Okay, cool.

Wack 100 Thinks Drake Would Provoke Some Fighting If He Played “Family Matters” In Los Angeles

“So there’s none of that,” Wack 100 went on. “What Boosie was talking about, that’s what it shouldn’t have been. Because you really was dealing with a lot of stupidity and a lot of BS. A lot of that was pre-existing conflict that was already there. You in bad moods, you got this camp and this camp, they already beefing! They’ve been beefing for ten, 15, 20 years over this robbery, that chick, this homie got stabbed in the jail house, or whatever. This is Drake and Kendrick, so let’s analyze it. What was Kendrick’s first world tour? There we go. Let’s look at the history. Their history starts with Drake allowing Kendrick to go on his world tour, right? Okay, great.

“Somewhere in there, I still don’t know, maybe you know, right? We can both say that helped Kendrick, right? Somewhere in there, something happened with Drake and Kendrick,” Wack 100 concluded. “I don’t know where. I don’t know, maybe it was a line, it was a bar. But what I do know: it wasn’t nobody [that] got robbed, nobody got shot, he had sex with my girl, he took some money from me. None of these things factor into whatever went on from their start, which was positive, right? Touring together, to whatever happened in the middle, it had nothing to do with any of that stuff. To how it ended now, and it was bar for bar, song for song, creativity for creativity. You know what I’m saying?

Red Hot Chili Peppers Clown Drake With Kendrick Lamar Meme After Their Toronto Shows

by

We’re never, ever, ever going to hear the end of the whole Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef, are we? Moreover, even some massive rock bands are hopping on the fun, so this could very much be a pop culture mainstay for the foreseeable future. The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently celebrated their run of Toronto shows and thanked their fans in the city for a great time. Sounds innocent enough, right? Well, they chose to do so by putting a picture of K.Dot waving goodbye in the “Not Like Us” music video on their Instagram Story, so they couldn’t resist showing the 6ix love by teasing them at least a little bit as proud Los Angeles band mates.

Furthermore, this comes amid rumors that Drake will reignite the Kendrick Lamar feud through some subliminal shots on a future release. Given just how much the 6ix God sends sneak disses out, was this really a surprising speculative theory to anyone who came across DJ Akademiks’ recent remarks on it? Nevertheless, it will definitely be interesting to see how both MCs reference their battle, if at all, in future material. Either way, fans will definitely comb each and every syllable looking for possible escalations.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Plant Their Flag In The Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef

What’s more is that some recent developments might suggest that the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is affecting other artists directly. For example, you’ve probably heard all the conspiracies around ScHoolboy Q’s canceled Toronto show and how Drizzy might’ve played a role in shutting it down. This is all just speculative, so take it with a grain of salt, but there’s actually some relatively indicative information that there could be some shady stuff at play. The biggest indicator of this, ironically enough, is the Toronto superstar’s IG Story after news of this broke.

Meanwhile, other corners of pop culture have more interesting reactions and assessments of the whole beef. Steph Curry is one celebrity who’s already tired of “Not Like Us,” whereas others like LeBron James are still loving it. We’ll see whether or not Drake has anything else to directly add to this situation, or if he has smoke for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Will Anthony Kiedis have some bars for Aubrey?

DJ Akademiks Claims Drake Has A Kendrick Lamar Sneak Diss Ready

by

Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar will be the hip-hop story of 2024. Nothing will come along that tops it in terms of importance or attention. It was a fun time for all involved, except for maybe Drake. That being said, the battle may not be over. DJ Akademiks has continued to hint at the possibility that the 6 God has more to say about his enemy on record. Drake has been quiet, at least by Drake standards. During a new stream, though, DJ Akademiks claimed that some K. Dot sneak disses are on the way.

Ak’s allegiance to Drake is inarguable. That being said, the hip-hop personality does appear to have an inside line to the OVO camp. His predictions and debunking of rumors has been mostly spot on. He’s not infallible, of course, but when it comes to new Drake material, he has enough credibility to be believable. He voiced excitement over the next phase of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle, which he called sneak dissing time. “It’s really never over,” he noted. “I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss.” Akademiks went to share some additional information, but he caught himself. “Matter of fact,” he said, before pausing. “I won’t even tell y’all what I heard.”

DJ Akademiks’ excitement did make it seem like he knew something the public didn’t, though. “I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss Drake got,” he explained. “That’s dissing Kendrick. How he positions it, that’s gonna be interesting. How does he position it…” It’s been a few months since Drake and Kendrick Lamar swapped diss tracks, but the beef appears to very much be active. Lamar is still riding high on the success of his Drake diss, “Not Like Us,” which went back to number one on Billboard. Dot’s former label mate, Ab-Soul, also tweeted about the possibility of Drake picking the battle back up.

More recently, ScHoolboy Q went after Drake’s OVO camp. The TDE artist claimed that Canadian police forced him to cancel his show in Toronto, and he vented about the sudden decision on Twitter. He said that Young Money and OVO artists have been cool in Los Angeles, and suggested that the 6 God was being sensitive. The real cause behind Q’s canceled show have since been debated. Some claim that Canadian police were behind it, others claimed the rapper canceled it himself. Time will tell if all this tension will manifest in the form of a sneak diss, like DJ Akademiks claimed.

Steph Curry Admits He’s Tired Of Hearing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”

by

Steph Curry and Kendrick Lamar are West Coast legends. They revived the NBA and hip-hop scenes, respectively, and changed both mediums forever. There was even a viral TikTok going around on July 17, in which NBA athletes were compared to rappers. Low and behold, Curry and K. Dot were the two names linked. That being said, the Chef has had enough of Lamar’s latest record. He was captured on video during Team USA’s match against Serbia, and he was not happy when he heard “Not Like Us.”

Curry can be seen walking on the court after Team USA defeated Serbia. “Not Like Us” can be heard in the background, and the superstar is immediately annoyed. “Damn with this song,” he says. “It’s not the only song in America.” Curry’s reaction is immediately counterbalanced by LeBron James, who admits that he’s still a fan of the Drake diss. “I love it,” he tells Curry. Anthony Edwards doesn’t comment on the number one single, but he can be seen dancing to it before the video cuts out.

LeBron Told Steph Curry He Still Loves The Song

Steph Curry hasn’t spoken publicly about the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. However, he has been referenced by Lamar on “Meet the Grahams.” The Compton rapper tells Curry to keep his family away from Drake, due to Drake’s unsavory reputation. A reputation that Lamar himself perpetuated throughout the battle. The rapper also mentions LeBron James, which makes the “Not Like Us” exchange even more ironic. “Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away,” Lamar raps. “Hey, Curry, keep the family away. To anybody that embody the love for their kids, keep the family away.”

Drake, meanwhile, has referenced Steph Curry on multiple songs. He compared himself to the Chef on “0 to 100 / The Catch Up” in 2014. He also claimed to be running up the numbers like Curry on the 2016 smash “Why You Always Hatin.” The latter was a collab with West Coast veteran YG. A veteran who was among the people who distanced themselves from Drake and supported Kendrick Lamar during the beef. YG attended Lamar’s “Pop Out” show on Juneteenth, as did LeBron James. The latter was seen rapping and dancing in the audience. Curry, however, was nowhere to be found.

ScHoolboy Q Blasts OVO For Not Allowing TDE Artists In Toronto

by

ScHoolboy Q is not happy. The TDE rapper was slated to perform in Toronto, but was allegedly kept from doing so. In response to this last-minute decision, Q hopped on Twitter and criticized the Canadian city for discriminating against his label. He not only accused Toronto of keeping TDE artists out, but hinted at some larger problems between the label and Drake’s OVO crew. ScHoolboy Q also alluded to there being consequences if this so-called sensitive behavior continued.

The Twitter rant took place on July 17. ScHoolboy Q made it clear that he was angry over the cancelation of his show, and called out Canadian police directly. “THey just canceled by sHow in Toronto,” he wrote. “Canadian police don’t want nobody from TDE performing.” The real bombshell, however, came in the subsequent tweet. Q claimed that everything was good between TDE and Drake’s parent label, Young Money. He claimed that Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith was actually hanging out with Birdman and Weezy recently. “Top was just wit Wayne and Baby smH,” he angrily typed. ScHoolboy Q also noted that OVO artist PARTYNEXTDOOR played at the Palladium in Los Angeles without any trouble.

ScHoolboy Q Warned OVO To Tread Carefully

After venting about the various ways in which the beef has been settled, ScHoolboy Q got aggressive. He made it known that if TDE had plans to do something to Drake and OVO, they would have done it already. “If we wanted to get y’all we would’ve just did it,” he tweeted. The last part of the message took on a more ominous tone, with the rapper seemingly warning OVO of potential problems to come. “Now wHen sumbody get Hurt don’t cry…” he concluded. ScHoolboy Q was never involved in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, but he made it clear which side he was on from day one.

He voiced his support for Lamar, his former label mate, on social media. He also performed alongside the rapper at the legendary “Pop Out” show on Juneteenth. ScHoolboy Q and Dot rapped “Collard Greens” together. Q was also one of the people who posed for the iconic black-and-white photo taken at the end of the concert. Hopefully TDE and OVO are able to set their differences aside and allow touring on both sides, without things getting ugly.

Soulja Boy Continues Drake Tirade With Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Lyrics

by

It’s no secret that Drake hate has been rampant ever since his viral lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar. The feud left many of the Toronto hitmaker’s fans and peers disappointed, and apparently, Soulja Boy is no exception. Earlier this week, the “Crank That” artist took to X to sound off about Drizzy’s performance in the “20 v. 1,” making it clear that he was less than impressed.

“You disappointed me @Drake,” he wrote. “Doing all them weak a** songs with them n***az look where It got u none of them n***az you collab with or took on tour had yo back.” Unfortunately for Drizzy, however, he wasn’t quite finished. Today, he hopped on the platform once again with some more harsh words, this time from Kendrick himself.

Soulja Boy Goes After Drake Again

“Freaky a** n***a @Drake,” he wrote simply, quoting Kendrick’s track “Not Like Us.” While Soulja Boy and Drake haven’t always been on the best of terms, it remains unclear why Soulja chose now to go after Drake. Regardless, he doesn’t appear to be holding back, and he’s certainly not alone. Recently, it was also reported that Drizzy’s Toronto mansion flooded, which Kendrick fans had a field day with. Rick Ross even got in on the trolling, chalking up the undoubtedly pricey damage to “minor issues.”

Drake isn’t the only person Soulja Boy has taken aim at as of late, however. Last month, he also revived his feud with Meek Mill with some jokes about his alleged relationship with Diddy on Instagram Live, when he and a friend accidentally wore the same hoodie. “This n***a got the same hoodie, no Diddy, man,” he said. “I ain’t on that Meek Mill-Diddy sh*t,” he said. “I ain’t on no Diddy sh*t, man.” What do you think of Soulja Boy taking to X with more harsh words for Drake? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video Game Has Taken Over The Internet

by

“Not Like Us” has legs. There’s been online discourse about whether the song is played out, but the results speak for themselves. Kendrick Lamar’s diss has returned to the top of the Billboard charts after the release of the iconic music video. Better still, the music video inspired graphic designer Richard Branson to create a video game inspired by one of its most viral moments. Now you too can destroy Drake’s OVO owls with a stick.

Branson posted a link to the “Not Like Us” video game on July 15. The game is free to play. The graphic designer made it clear that he was not aiming to profit from the song. “This game is a free love letter to video games and hip-hop,” Branson wrote within the game’s credits. The aim of the game is to hit as many owls as possible with a piñata stick. The premise was inspired by the piñata scene in the “Not Like Us” video. Kendrick Lamar takes down an owl meant to be satirizing Drake’s logo. The text: “No OVHoes were harmed in the making of this video” is placed underneath him. No such text appears in the game, but the sense of fun certainly carries over.

The Kendrick Lamar-Inspired Game Is Free To Play

The “Not Like Us” game spread like wildfire online. Fans took to posting their results on social media. Some even broke down which levels were most difficult to play. The video game could not have come at a better time. “Not Like Us” topped the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release in May. It spent the next eight weeks shifting between spots 2 and 6, before settling at number 3. Impressively, however, the song shot back up to number one over Fourth of July. This is first time Kendrick Lamar has landed a multi-week number one as a solo artist.

The song is so inextricable from its target, that any attempts to recontextualize it have backfired. Lil Wayne tried to flip the meaning of the song during a recent Las Vegas performance. It did not work. Fans were confused by Weezy F. Baby’s decision to play a Kendrick Lamar song. Many took the rapper to task for riding with Lamar over Drake, when he was trying to communicate the exact opposite. Lamar keeps winning, and Drake, well, doesn’t.

Lil Wayne Raps Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” While Holding Drake OVO Pendant

by

Lil Wayne and Drake go way back, which is why fans have been anxious to hear him weigh in on Drizzy’s viral feud with Kendrick Lamar. He hasn’t said much of anything, though recently, he seemingly reaffirmed his loyalty to the Toronto hitmaker during a performance. In a clip making its rounds online, he’s seen spitting some lyrics from Kendrick’s hit “Not Like Us.” As he did so, he proudly held up his OVO owl pendant.

Of course, the clip has sparked a major discussion in DJ Akademiks’ comments section, as fans debate whether or not this was shade aimed at Kendrick. While some think it’s a stretch, others are convinced that it was a direct diss. After all, he incorporated the lyrics into “The Motto,” his wildly successful Drake collab.

Fans Wonder If Lil Wayne Dissed Kendrick Lamar

Many also suspect that Lil Wayne was actually saying “They don’t like us” rather than “They not like us,” though it’s difficult to tell based on the clip alone. Either way, this latest stunt has commenters curious about what would happen if Lil Wayne went up against Kendrick. As expected, this debate has fans split too.

While Lil Wayne has yet to address the lyrical battle directly, it’s not the first time in recent weeks he’s shown love to Drake. Late last month, for example, he shared a list of his top five rappers during an interview. He named Drake, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliot, and The Notorious B.I.G. Kendrick didn’t make the cut. What do you think of Lil Wayne rapping Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” lyrics onstage while holding up his OVO pendant? Do you think this was a direct Kendrick diss or not? What do you think would happen if he were to go up against Kendrick? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
