Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar has mostly died down, but nonetheless, the Toronto hitmaker remains at the forefront of hip-hop fans’ minds. He’s kept quiet on subjects like Kendrick’s LA Pop Out, his “Not Like Us” music video, and more. Unsurprisingly, this has left his followers more eager than ever to hear what he has to say, and to see what his next move will be.
While he’s yet to deliver on this front, Drake did take to Instagram recently for a late-night post. He shared a photo of himself lying in a bed with his eyes closed, surrounded by stuffed animals. “The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop,” he captioned it, leaving at least some room for interpretation.

Drake Gets Deep On IG
Of course, many suspect that the caption is a reference to the apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which left the former president with a bloody ear. It also seems to be a reminder that he’s still one of the most commercially successful hip-hop artists right now. This is one thing that’s yet to be taken away from him amid the fallout of his feud with Kendrick. Even before going back and forth with the Compton performer, he was the most-streamed rapper on Spotify all of 2024. He managed to earn this crown yet again in June.
For now, it remains to be seen if and how Drake could come back from the viral lyrical battle, which saw Kendrick throw some serious allegations his way. It appears as though he’s taking a beat to recover, and perhaps plot his next move. What do you think of Drake’s latest Instagram post?
