People have spent the last few months trolling Drake following his loss to Kendrick Lamar in the rap battle this year, but it seems he’s not done yet. The 37-year-old rapper made a cryptic post this weekend about his “game two” win, which led many people to people he was looking for to reignite the feud.
The Toronto superstar became active on his Instagram account plottttttwisttttt this past weekend after releasing three new songs “Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2),” a new version of “SOD” without Lil Yachty and “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti, as well as other unreleased footage on his 100gigs website. He continued to post plenty of content on his Instagram story, but one post in particular caught people’s attention.
In the video, former NBA player Rasheed Wallace speaks to the media about how his team, the Detroit Pistons, would win Game 2 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. “You can put it on the front page, the back page, the middle of the page, wherever,” Wallace said. “Headlines, column one or two, we’re going to win Game 2. We’re going to win Game 2.” He kept his promise, as they defeated the Pacers 72-67, winning the series in six games before defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
Notably, Drake deleted the Instagram story just hours after it was posted, but the damage was already done. Fans interpreted the Rasheed Wallace video and the energy in his new record collection as a warning shot to his enemies.
In the latest three-piece of songs, he dedicated many bars to those he was at odds with in 2024. “Ni**as got turned on by the features I skated on/ I gotta know, I gotta know how you get turned on by the ni**a you hate?/ Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong/ This is the moment I know they been praying for,” he rapped in “No Face.”
In “Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2),” he rapped about still being the No. 1 artist in hip-hop and compared it to his poor sleeping habits. He also claimed that he wrote people’s names on a list and that he dodged several funeral plans, which was apparently symbolic of people trying to end his run at the top. The 6 God was rarely one to let things go, especially when he was coming off the losing end in rap disputes, so this is all pretty par for the course.
After defeating Meek Mill in 2015, Drake fired more shots at him on his 2016 album “Summer Sixteen.” Viewsand his “Playlist” 2017 More life. After losing to Pusha T in 2018, he sent him and Kanye West more subliminal disses on 2020’s “Life Is Good,” “Laugh Now Cry Later” featuring Lil Durk, and more. So it’s fair to say that fans should buckle up and prepare for more disses against Kendrick Lamar. However, some think this is a bad idea.
“Can we all agree that a ‘game 2’ in the Kendrick vs Drake feud is truly pointless?” asked one fan. “Drake lost game 3 when Family Matters got trumped by Meet the Grahams in an hour lmao,” said another fan. “Drake that was the Superbowl of rap feuds. There is no game 2,” wrote another fan.
