No matter what Drake tries to do, he simply cannot get away from Kendrick Lamar.
Lamar put an exclamation point on another historic moment in rap’s evolution. The Grammy winner took music’s biggest stage at Super Bowl 59 for a halftime performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
With Samuel L. Jackson in a full Uncle Sam outfit and top hat, the rapper kicked off his 13-minute performance in front of 76,000 fans.
The California native teased playing “Not Like Us”‘ several times before eventually playing it at the end of his set.
A week after winning five Grammys for his Drake diss track “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar took a victory lap by playing it again.
Drake previously issued a statement addressing Kendrick’s diss song. He sued Universal Music Group (UMG) for defamation.
The Canadian’s lawsuit challenges both the song’s release and its promotion, arguing that the track falsely portrays him in a damaging light.
His legal team issued a new statement ahead of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.
“UMG is masquerading as a champion of artistic freedom by calling its actions merely ‘entertainment,’ but there is nothing entertaining about pedophilia or child abuse in the real world,” Drake’s legal team stated. “We are confident that the evidence we will ultimately present at trial—including information we’ve already learned and continue to receive since filing the lawsuit—will expose UMG’s gross prioritization of its own corporate profits and executive bonuses over its exclusively signed artists’ well-being and the truth.”
Drake Is Currently On Tour
Drake shocked music fans last November when he threatened to move the ongoing saga of his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar to the courtroom.
This was something that is unheard of in battle rap.
Despite months and weeks of talk about Kendrick Lamar not playing “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl, he ultimately did.
As for the Canadian rapper, he is currently in Australia for his “Anita Max Win Tour.”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
