On Tuesday (April 30), Kendrick Lamar had social media collectively clutching their pearls after he dropped the killing game with Drake diss track 'Euphoria.' With all eyes on the Canadian actor-turned-rapper, Drizzy quickly responded to the song, but in the most 2024 way possible.
Instead of releasing a response record (which everyone wants), Drake took to his Instagram Stories to share a clip from the popular '90s film, 10 things i hate about you in which Julia Stiles checked off a list of things she hated about someone she loved in the movie. An obvious reference to Kendrick's spitting bars: “I hate the way you walk, the way you talk, I hate the way you dress/ I hate the way you sneak, if I get to fly, it'll be instant.” The clip did little to excite Hip-Hoppers who are anxiously waiting to see what Drake is cooking up in the kitchen as the beef continues to heat up.
While this wasn't the response fans were expecting from Drake (he's obviously trying to laugh so he doesn't cry), rest assured he'll be clapping at some point as he sent a quick message to his man DJ Akademiks saying: See you soon.” While some speculated that Drake had a joint in the booth ready to pop whenever K. Dot responded to “Push Ups” or “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Drizzy was seen humming along to “Euphoria” before returning to the booth for to address Kendrick's many criticisms from him.
Drizzy really did his thing with this one. We know one thing for sure and that's Drake definitely won't be using an AI version of Tupac on another song. He doesn't want any legal smoke with the Shakur estate that has shown it has no interest in the Hip-Hop legend participating in any new rap songs beyond the grave.
The ball is now in Drizzy's court. One can only wonder how he plans to top Kendrick Lamar's “Euphoria” and if that's even possible at this point.
