Diss tracks aren’t often Grammy contenders, particularly once they’re as scathing and controversial as Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” However that didn’t cease Kendrick from taking dwelling a complete lot of {hardware} on Sunday evening.
In case you one way or the other missed it, the feud between Kendrick and rival rapper Drake went nuclear over the summer season, with each artists lashing out at each other in tune type.
The consensus was that Lamar emerged victorious, and final evening, he cemented his win in historic style.
“Not Like Us” gained 5 Grammys final evening, together with the awards for File of the Yr and Music of the Yr.
Evidently, that’s in all probability not the result that everybody’s favourite Degrassi alum hoped for.
Was Drake on the Grammys?
To reply a query that’s on the minds of many social media customers at the moment — no, Drake was not in attendance finally evening’s Grammy Awards.
In actual fact, it seems that he was fairly distant, as his most recent Instagram post exhibits him performing in Australia.
Drizzy has not but commented on Kendrick’s huge evening, however a brave TikTok consumer managed to get his dad’s response.
Not surprisingly, plainly 70-year-old Dennis Graham would favor to see his son up there successful all these awards.
“I don’t care sufficient about that s–t,” Dennis stated in response to a query about Kendrick.
“That ain’t bought nothing to do with me. All one of the best to him, man. I don’t do this bulls–t.”
Okay, so the elder Graham saved it surprisingly civil. We’re guessing Drake gained’t be fairly as blasé when he addresses the matter in tune type (which he just about has to at this level).
What’s Subsequent For Drake and Kendrick?
Whereas issues didn’t boil over till 2024, the Drake vs. Kendrick feud has been simmering for years.
And whereas some retailers are proclaiming that last night’s Grammys marked the end of the beef, that declaration appears untimely.
In any case, Drake is still suing his own label in connection to “Not Like Us” and the allegations contained within the tune’s lyrics.
Amongst different claims, Kendrick alleges on the monitor that Drake and his mates are “licensed pedophiles.”
That’s not the type of insult that one simply strikes on from, and Drake’s followers will completely anticipate him to talk out on the scenario on his subsequent album.
For now, nevertheless, plainly Kendrick is having fun with what could be probably the most definitive victory within the historical past of hip hop beefs.
And the victory lap will proceed subsequent week, when Kendrick performs throughout halftime on the Super Bowl.
The ball is in Drake’s courtroom at this level, however he could be silly to make a transfer when his opponent is on such a scorching streak.
