Drake is poking fun at his beef with Kendrick Lamar now that their feud has seemingly died down.
On Sunday (July 28), Drizzy took to social media to repost a viral clip of a lookalike performing his hit song “Hotline Bling” at a boxing gym in New York. “Sometimes you gotta pop out,” Drake captioned the Instagram Story post, quoting a line from Lamar’s smash hit “Not Like Us.”
This isn’t the first time the Toronto MC has referenced K. Dot’s diss track, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Last month, Drake comically named himself “69 God” during a bowling match, quoting another famous line from the Compton rapper’s infectious song.
Despite the fallout from Drake’s feud with Lamar, the 6 God seems to be having a great summer. Drizzy’s “Honestly, Nevermind” collaborator Gordo recently said he hasn’t seen Drake happier. “Ever since all this has happened … I’ve seen him happier. It’s really weird. He’s pretty jolly,” the Grammy-nominated producer told People in late July.
Gordo, formerly known as Carnage, claims Drake has moved on from the battle with K. Dot and is ready to focus on himself again. “He’s been past it,” the producer added. “The thing is that he was just on the longest tour ever. He literally did a tour for like a year. I think he’s just chilling.”
During their feud, the Canadian superstar dropped numerous disses against Lamar, including “Euphoria,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Pt. 6.” While Lamar didn’t formally respond to “The Heart Part 6,” he performed multiple diss songs at his Juneteenth Pop Out concert and released a music video for “Not Like Us” that features him beating down an owl piñata, referencing Drake’s OVO logo.
With the feud seemingly behind them, fans can look forward to seeing what’s next for these two rap giants.
