Just when you thought the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake had officially settled, it turns out to be the opposite. Drake doesn’t appear to be over it and has dragged Jay-Z into their feud.
Drake Likes Posts of Podcasters Clowning Kendrick, Jay-Z
In a clip shared by apox6ix on X, the We Love Hip-Hop podcast discussed the fallout of the Kendrick and Drake feud. And insisted that Kendrick was just one of Jay-Z’s “pawns” and that he was never the “main guy.” And Drake appeared to agree with that sentiment. Because he liked the clip on Instagram. A tell-tale sign that he hasn’t forgotten their rap beef.
Drake just liked an IG clip stating that Kendrick was really just Jay-Z’s pawn the entire time… 👀♟️

The 2024 feud between the two rappers drew a line in the sand. You had to be either Team Kendrick or Team Drake. No playing Switzerland. In a sit-down with GQ earlier this year, Jay-Z said that he believes that type of energy can stunt the growth of hip-hop.
“Now, people who like Kendrick hate Drake, no matter what he makes. It’s like an attack on his character. I don’t know if I love that,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s helpful to our growth where the fallout lands, especially on social media.
He also noted that in the digital age, the negativity that can stew from rap feuds on social media often goes “too far.”
“It’s too far. It’s bringing people’s kids into it. I don’t like that. I sound like the old guy wagging his finger, but I think we can achieve the same thing, as far as sparring with music, with collaborations more so than breaking the whole thing apart,” he said. “It could have stood it before because there was no social media. You had the battle, and it was fun, and then you moved on. Right now, I don’t know if it could stand it with the technology that we have.”
