Kendrick Lamar recently responded to Drake’s subtle jabs during a livestream with popular streamer xQc. During the stream, Drake stated, “You need facts to take me out, fairytales won’t do it,” which many fans interpreted as a dig at Lamar.
Kendrick humorously reacted to the comments, asking a friend, “He trippin??!” and adding laughing emojis, signaling that he found the situation amusing rather than confrontational.
This exchange comes on the heels of Kendrick’s surprise album GNX, released on November 22, which features several tracks that many believe directly target Drake.
The ongoing feud between these hip-hop titans continues to captivate fans, reigniting discussions about their rivalry and lyrical battles from the past decade.
Both artists have a history of subtle (and not-so-subtle) shots at each other in their music and interviews, making this latest chapter another spark in their cold war.
Kendrick’s fans see his response as a display of confidence, while Drake’s followers view his comment as a challenge that solidifies his dominance.
As both artists prepare for their upcoming projects—Kendrick with his new album and Drake gearing up for a major tour—fans are eagerly watching how this playful banter might evolve.
The hip-hop community remains divided, with some siding with Kendrick’s introspective style while others lean towards Drake’s mainstream appeal. Regardless of the rivalry, one thing is clear: both artists are at the top of their game, and their interactions only add fuel to the fire of their legendary competition.
