If you were hoping for more drama between Kendrick Lamar and Drake to spice things up, you may be out of luck. According to a longtime friend, Kendrick Lamar seems to be putting his feud behind him and focusing on other things. On Sunday (August 25), his longtime pal Lil L/Euro Luxxk increased to X and was asked if Kendrick Drizzy would soon “splash” on him. The answer? “Nah, we’re leaving the Canadian alone,” Euro Luxxk said, adding, “Everyone’s just working right now, so stay tuned.”
Will there be more conflict between Kendrick Lamar and Drake?
This exchange occurred right around the time that Drake appeared to be sending Kendrick a subtle message. On his other Instagram account, @plottttwistttttt, that same day, Drake shared a clip of former Detroit Pistons star Rasheed Wallace’s famous interview in which he boldly guaranteed victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals.
“You can put it on the front page, the back page, the center page, anywhere, in the headlines, in the first column or the second column – we’re going to win Game 2,” Rasheed declared after the Pistons’ Game 1 loss. And indeed, his prediction came true, as the Pistons won the series and eventually captured the Larry O’Brien Trophy by defeating a star-studded Los Angeles Lakers team.
Drake was busy
Drake has been busy since his supposed loss to Kendrick earlier this year, releasing tracks with Sexyy Red, Benny The Butcher, Gordo, Camila Cabello and more. His 100 GIGS EP includes collaborations with Young Thug, 21 Savage and Latto and he surprised his fans with three new tracks: “Circadian Rhythm,” “SOD” and “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti on his Instagram burner account @plottttwistttttt.
Originally previewed by streamer Kai Cenat, “SOD” sparked some drama when Lil Yachty attempted to release a sample, but was denied unless the song was reworked to fit Mr. HotSpot’s religious beliefs. For the official release, Yachty was cut from the track entirely, and fans noticed him unfollowing Drake on Instagram, leading to speculation of tension between the two.
As for “Circadian Rhythm,” anyone following the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar might see a connection to Lamar’s diss track “6:16 in LA.” There are already rumors that Drake was inspired by a line in “6:16 in LA” where Kendrick raps, “Often, I know this type of power is gon’ cost / But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star.”
