"Treating his name like Voldemort"— Internet reacts as Drake stops himself from saying 'F*ck Kendrick' during Adin Ross's livestream

On December 26, Drake appeared on a holiday livestream with Adin Ross as part of his “Drizzmas Giveaway – Saving Santa the trip.” During the stream, the Canadian rapper read out several fan letters.

One of them had the words “F*ck Kendrick” written, which Drizzy stopped himself from reading out loud. “Oh, I am not reading that,” he said before continuing with the letter that read:

“In a beautiful land down under, it would be an unforgettable honeymoon filled with laughter, fun, and of course Drake charisma, and as always f*ck Ken… Please help her Drizzy soldier finally show my wife why Drake is the greatest ever to do it.”

The video of the moment has now gone viral, with netizens reacting to Champagne Papi preventing himself from uttering, “F*ck Kendrick.” For instance, X user @ThuggerDaily, under @scubaryan’s post, said:

“Treating his name like Voldemort.”

Many others joined the conversation on the platform and shared similar reactions.

“Kendrick really lives in bro mind rent-free,” a person wrote.

“Drake got some PTSD, the boy stopped himself,” one person wrote.

“Bro used all his might to stop himself,” wrote another.

Others continued to chime in.

“If He Said That, Kendrick Would Have Dropped in A Heart Beat,” a netizen wrote.

“Drake lowkey a chill guy,” another netizen wrote.

“Media trained,” an individual wrote.

“Almost starting beef through fan mail,” wrote another.

After Drizzy finished this particular fan letter, Adin Ross stood beside him and quipped, “I love every single word of that.” The duo even gave a shoutout to the fan named Jonathan.

Drake appeared on the platform Kick for his “Drizzmas Giveaway” in collaboration with online casino Stake and live streamer Adin Ross on Thursday at 8 pm EST. He described it as “the biggest streaming giveaway of all time.” Announcing the giveaway via a trailer on Instagram earlier this week (December 23), the Toronto native said in a voice-over:

"People often ask me what was the best day of my life, and there's so many memories with family, album releases, shows, and fans showing deep appreciation for the craft.

"But my answer is the same every time: the two days that I shot 'God's Plan' were the best days of my life. The joy that I experienced on those days making other people happy, you know, changing their week or their month, or their year; it was an irreplaceable feeling.”

For the unversed, fans aged 21 and above participated in the giveaway after filling out an email application citing why they deserved a specific prize. The “Drizzmas Giveaway” included $100,000 for a Toronto-based artist/entrepreneur, a dream vacation for a couple, $250,000 cash each for two others, and a luxury car like a Lamborghini or a G-Wagon. The gig also included a year of rent for two winners and cars for three families.

The giveaway also announced a trip for two to watch 6 God perform at the Anita Max Wynn Tour Live in Australia in February 2025. During the live stream, Drizzy even launched the multi-colored diamond custom tour chain and unveiled a new cologne.
