In an unexpected twist, Drake has subtly reignited his rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, but not through a diss track. Instead, the Canadian superstar dropped hints while streaming live on Kick with popular streamer xQc.
Earlier this year, the hip-hop world was riveted by a heated feud between two rap heavyweights, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The conflict, which stemmed from J. Cole’s casual reference to a ‘Big Three’ in rap, escalated into one of the most personal and widely discussed rap battles in recent memory. While Kendrick seemed to claim victory with his sharp lyrics in Not Like Us and his triumphant performance at The Pop Out show in Los Angeles, Drake had maintained a conspicuous silence—until now.
During his appearance on xQc’s Kick stream, Drake didn’t hold back. After introducing himself with humor, saying, “I’m Drake, this is xQc, real streaming legend. Me, I do music, in case you don’t know,” the rapper made a statement that sent ripples through the hip-hop community.
“I’m here,” Drake declared. “Full intact, mind, body, and soul, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out, fairytales won’t do it.”
Though cryptic, the timing of this remark led fans to connect it to his ongoing rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, especially as it coincided with Kendrick’s release of GNX, his latest album, which has been creating waves online. While xQc refrained from pushing Drake for clarification, the rapper reiterated his resilience later in the stream, adding, “Nothing makes me uncomfortable. I’ve worked too hard to be uncomfortable. Nothing phases me, like I said, it takes only facts to fold me, fairytales don’t work.”
The remarks have left fans divided. Some see them as a direct jab at Kendrick, while others believe Drake may be addressing critics or unrelated matters. Regardless, his choice to make such a bold statement on a casual streaming platform rather than in his music has added a new layer to this already legendary rivalry.
As the world of hip-hop continues to buzz about Drake’s comments and Kendrick’s album, it’s clear this feud is far from over. With both artists known for their calculated moves, fans will be eagerly waiting to see what happens next in this high-stakes rap saga.
