On Monday, March 31, Canadian rapper Drake released his most-anticipated music video for his hit track NOKIA. While fans were quite excited about the release, many tied the music video to Kendrick Lamar. This included DJ Akademiks and The Company Man, who suggested that the latest video could be linked to Lamar.
For context, Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar were in the middle of a beef that happened last year. A series of diss tracks were then uploaded from both ends. The Company Man posted a video on his official YouTube channel on March 31, 2025. In the video, he said:
"I've been a fan of this song since the song dropped and I'm looking at this and he does a bad parody of Not Like Us, a bad parody of the Super Bowl which are actually the coolest elements."

Elsewhere in the video, The Company Man claimed that while fans were ready to move on from the sensational beef, Drizzy could not let it go. He additionally suggested that the Canadian rapper was "addicted" to the feud with Kendrick. He also mentioned that Kendrick did not seem stuck to the beef like Drake. Somewhere in the video, The Company Man said:
"I don't never want to hear nothing about Kendrick spending too much time on this again. I don't want nobody to talk to me about no Drake stimulus package because Aubrey is addicted... The only thing he got right now officially with Nokia, the one song that's moving on it's own and he tied it to Kendrick Lamar."
As aforementioned, DJ Akademiks also said in a recent livestream that he believed Drizzy's latest music video could actually be his way of trolling Kendrick Lamar. In addition to these influencers, several fans also shared their own speculations.
