The losses Drake has taken over the past twelve months will be studied for years. Kendrick Lamar has absolutely destroyed that man. What’s great about everything Kendrick has done is that he ended up standing up for the women (and girls) who have dealt with Drake over the years. One of the many gut-punch lyrics in Kendrick’s “Meet the Grahams” was: “And we gotta raise our daughters knowin’ there’s predators like him lurkin’/F–k a rap battle, he should die so all of these women can live with a purpose.” Like… there’s a reason why Megan Thee Stallion was in NOLA to support Kendrick. There’s a reason why Taylor Swift has been cheering for Kendrick this whole time. There’s a reason why Beyonce was singing along to “Not Like Us” at the Grammys. There’s a reason why Serena Williams c-walked on stage at the Super Bowl as Kendrick sang NLU. Kendrick really did it for the girls. Drake knows it too.
Drake’s Down Under on tour, and he was onstage venting about his exes — just hours before two of them, Serena Williams and SZA, hit the Super Bowl stage with his sworn enemy, Kendrick Lamar.
Drake got spicy onstage, shading past flames who “play you in your f***ing life” … and telling fans, “If you’re doing better than your ex, turn up to this song!” — before launching into “You Broke My Heart.” He was performing a stop for his “Anita Max Win” tour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia ahead of the Super Bowl kickoff in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Looks like Drake’s exes weren’t exactly crying over him — they were too busy living it up at Caesars Superdome Sunday, with Serena, who he had a thing with from 2011 to 2015, making a dance cameo to “Not Like Us,” the super popular track dissing Drizzy.
And that wasn’t all — Kendrick brought out another one of Drake’s exes, SZA, who performed “Luther” and “All the Stars” with K. Dot.
Drake also changed the lyrics to one of his songs and said: “Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never died.” Spoiler alert: Drake’s refusal to just take the L and go away for a year is what’s killing him more than anything. He could have just admitted defeat and gone dark for a while. This reads like he’s a suckybaby loser who is too immature to deal with losing a rap battle. Drake also went on a social media frenzy, and he reportedly banned his crew from watching the Super Bowl. Bigger than the what?
“Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never died.” 👀

Drake sucks.
Yes. And he always looks like he just tasted something sour.
“37 but you’re moving like a 7 year old” lol Kendrick really clocked him. But even my 7 year old doesn’t act like this man baby when she’s upset.
Does Drake have something against laying low? I mean this must be a symptom of his arrested development and child star roots.
This constant need for attention even if it is negative
I watched the Super Bowl with most of my family, so we did have a fun time during the halftime show with my teenaged niece trying to explain the whole background story to my 83-year-old dad. His response, after learning how Drake treated his exes and tried to creep on underaged girls, was, “well that guy needs to f–k right off, doesn’t he?” That’s how thoroughly Kendrick has destroyed Drake, even great-grandparents think he should go f–k himself.😂😂
Omg IJBOL at your post Miranda! Your dad sounds pretty awesome.
Well Drake may not have died but he’s certainly been murdered!
I have disliked Drake for a long time – since his Degrassi Jr. High days – he was a buster then and he’s a buster now. And your dad is so right he really needs to just f**k right off!
Drake treats women bad, disrespects the culture that made him millions, erases a childhood that many people will never be lucky enough to have, and creeps on teenage girls. There is a lot of reasons many hate him.
Spot on Bumblebee! I’ll add one more. I am not a Leafs fan, but here’s another reason why so many people in Toronto hate his guts. The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t won a Stanley Cup since the 1960s. So around 60 years of no championship. The Leafs were up in the playoffs 3-0 against the Bruins. They just have to win one more game. All wrapped up right? In my fake British accent: “Well…not quite.’
Enter Drake who needs at all times, for it to be all about him. He posts his $80,000 bet that this series will go to a game 7. Don’t get me started on how tone deaf it is to gamble $80,000 in this economy and during a housing crisis in Toronto and then brag about it on social media – that’s for another post. Toronto’s fans’ heads exploded cause you’re rooting against your own team here. Everyone knows when you have the Bruins on the ropes you need to just not let them up. Add to it a lot of athletes believe there is a Drake curse, or at least that there used to be. He shows up to support you lose (it was a thing for a while but I think it went away when the Toronto Raptors won a championship)
Bruins took that series 4-3. Yes. The Boston Bruins came back to win the entire thing, eliminating the Leafs from the playoffs. Drake, not reading the room as usual, posted his gambling “win. My son, a teenager, showed me the post (he doesn’t follow him but another kid took a screenshot of it and sent it to a group chat) and said “what an idiot”
Didn’t this start bc drake went after Kendrick’s family which is like breaking the code of rap battles? He should’ve never gone there.
From Euphoria: “We ain’t gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way”. He warned him in the very first diss.
Then in “6:16 in LA” (the second diss), he said he knew what he is planning to do (accusing Kendrick of domestic violence, accusing Kendrick’s fiancée of sleeping with Kendrick’s best friend, bodyguards) and warned him not to do it.
Drake is always going after other rappers’ wives or girlfriends, then gets shocked when they hit him back the same way.
I rewatched the Josh Johnson explainer of the beef last night to try to thoroughly explain there halftime show to my husband 😂. It’s 30 minutes long and my husband went to bed halfway through so it will be forever lost to him. My favorite bit was Josh saying, “Drake, he has a lot of…feelings that he makes into records regularly, and I used to listen to his stuff and then I got busy and grew up, but Drake’s kept on having feelings and making them into records.”
Drake is a whiny baby who preys on teens instead of getting therapy.
That bit is so hilarious! And then he explains to a man in the front who seems lost or maybe he was just making sure he is following along “Meek Mill is a rapper, Sir.” I love Josh Johnson!
Damn, Jay Z lost a rap beef to Nas but he sucked it up and kept it moving and he’s doing more than fine today. Drake could have done the same and no one would’ve held it against him. Instead, he’s decided to toss away all respect he’d gained in the hip-hop world by being a whiny bitch. Shame.
I think Drake’s problem was that Not Like US became such an anthem. LOL It was and is a banger, too. Drake needed to come back with a danceable/singable song to counter that and he didn’t. Instead, he sued, which made even more people go back to hear Not Like Us. At this point, there isn’t a single thing he can do to remove that L.
I mean “Ether” hit so hard it’s literally became a verb to mean taking someone down. But the difference is Jay-Z didn’t sue anybody, he took the L and kept it moving and because of that,kept people‘s respect.
And I think the thing most people, not Kendrick, don’t recall is how Drake went around dragging all of his exes to the rap community. Heck, he came at Megan Thee Stallion because she wouldn’t sleep with him. He’s toxic.
Maybe drake and Chris rock are friends
