Drake seemingly took a jab at Kendrick Lamar during his Kick stream collaboration with Canadian streamer Félix Lengyel aka xQc on Sunday, November 24. While introducing himself and xQc to the viewers, the 6 God rapper said:
"I guess I should give a little intro like… I'm Drake. This is xQc, real streaming legend. Me, I do music, in case you didn't know. I'm here as you can see, fully intact — mind, body, and soul, in case you are wondering."
As an apparent shade to Lamar, Dreezy supposedly addressed the Compton rapper:
"You need facts to take me out, fairy tales won’t do it. Cheers to everybody!"
Dreezy doubled down on his remark later in the live stream:
"Nothing makes me uncomfortable. I’ve worked too hard to be uncomfortable. Nothing phases me, like I said, it takes only facts to fold me, fairytales don’t work."
Although Dreezy did not mention Lamar, fans and other netizens presumed his words were aimed at the Not Like Us crooner. During their scathing rap beef that reached its boiling point in May, Lamar accused Drake of having a secret daughter in his track Meet the Grahams. He also rapped on Drake's supposed misogyny, womanizing habits, and allegedly lying about ghostwriters.
In response, Drake claimed in The Heart Part 6, that he deliberately fed Lamar false information to manipulate their feud. Dreezy seemingly insinuated that the Compton rapper did not fact-check the information before turning them into a diss track.
Thus, Drake's supposed jab at Lamar on xQc's livestream soon promoted reactions from netizens. One X user commented under a post containing the video reference to Drake's remarks.
"Bro is still hurting," they wrote.
"Bro tried to go back to the old him," wrote an user.
"We don’t care, we streaming GNX", wrote one supposed Kendrick Lamar fan.
"N**ga just don’t learn", said another.
One X user likely referred to Drake's fans' claim that Lamar always fuels the feuds.
"But according to Twitter, it's always Kendrick who starts the beefs," they wrote.
"this is the guy who started lying in the first place btw", resonated another.
"Welp don’t cry when K-DOT drops these next set of FACTS", ridiculed one person.
Drake's remark comes after Kendrick Lamar drops surprise album GNX
Drake's supposed Kendrick Lamar shade on xQc's stream arrived two days after the Pulitzer Prize-famed rapper surprised the hip-hop community with his sixth studio album, GNX, on November 22.
In the track Wacced Out Murals, K.Dot reportedly fired shots at Drake as he rapped:
"N**gas from my city couldn't entertain old boy / Promisin' bank transactions and even bitcoin / I never peaced it up, that shit don't sit well with me."
Drake's affiliation with high-stake gambling using cryptocurrency is not unknown to his fans, which caused them to think Lamar was referring to the latter at the mention of "bitcoin" in Lamar's track.
In another track Hey Now, there are mentions of someone playing God, and K.Dot strangling a "goat" — both references could be traced back to Drake as the Canadian rapper is often considered the GOAT in his field by his fans. Dreezy is also known for calling himself the God of Toronto.
However, Kendrick did not include any direct mentions of Drake in his new album.
