Drake isn’t backing down from his high-profile beef with Kendrick Lamar. In fact, he’s doubling down—this time with the help of thousands of fans overseas.
During his headlining performance at the Rockstar Energy Wireless Festival in London’s Finsbury Park Saturday night, Drizzy paused his set to soak in the crowd’s energy as fans loudly chanted, “F* Kendrick.”**
“Grab me a shot. I’ll drink to that,” Drake told his head of security, Chubbs, while basking in the cheers.
The moment sent the already hyped London crowd into a frenzy, marking another bold chapter in the ongoing feud that has dominated the hip-hop world since 2024.
A Beef That Won’t Die Down
The Drake-Kendrick war reached new heights last year after Kendrick’s viral diss track “Not Like Us”—which accused Drake of predatory behavior and other explosive claims. The Grammy-winning song became an anthem for Kendrick’s supporters and even earned the Compton rapper multiple awards.
At the 2025 Grammys, Drake’s industry peers sang the song in unison as Kendrick collected his Record of the Year trophy, creating one of the most talked-about moments in music.
New Tattoo, New Target?
Adding more fuel to the fire, fans noticed Drake appears to have covered up his tattoo of LeBron James—a move that comes after the NBA star seemed to side with Kendrick during their feud. The replacement ink? A portrait of Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, signaling a possible shifting of Drake’s allegiances.
Earlier this year, Drake also tweaked the lyrics to his hit “Nonstop” to reflect the falling out with LeBron, and he repeated the lyric change in London.
A New Diss Track Incoming?
While Drake has yet to confirm any official new music aimed at Kendrick, his Wireless Fest antics suggest he’s far from finished with the Compton rapper. With Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” still dominating cultural conversations, fans are now speculating: could Drizzy’s next move involve a fresh diss track to reclaim the narrative?
What’s Next?
For now, Drake seems content rallying his fanbase and letting the smoke linger. If the London crowd is any indication, his supporters are ready for whatever comes next in this rap rivalry.
???? Should Drake fire back with a new diss track, or let the feud die?
