Ironically, Kendrick Lamar's nemesis Drake has spoken glowingly of Michael Jordan, citing his legendary competitiveness that 90s NBA teams became all too familiar with.

In a clip that went viral on X in late March, the "NOKIA" rapper shared an anecdote in which he got to experience Jordan's competitive streak and love for gambling in one go:

"It was All-Star Weekend in Toronto...and I beat him in ping pong a couple of times," Drake said. "He just wouldn't leave the ping pong table. He kept betting me...he just couldn't stomach the loss."
