With Future & Metro Boomin releasing their album ‘We Don’t Trust You’ being what started the entire 20v1 rap battle between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, Metro Boomin, Childish Gambino, Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty (maybe), Travis Scott (maybe), The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and more - which ended in Kendrick dropping his #1 hit record that was also a diss song with ‘Not Like Us’ - the entire world was listening to a song clowning Drake. Kendrick did the unthinkable afterwards, surprise dropping his album ‘GNX’ - announcing ‘The Grand National Tour’ with SZA, and giving us the music video to his now #1 billboard hot 100 hit song ‘squabble up’. Now, the year is done and in 2025, one of Drake’s biggest defendants - DJ Akademiks is facing backlash. After a weird exchange in a Discord chat, an odd issue with Drake and LeBron James and Chris Blake Griffith, and a slew of beef with rappers in the past like Meek Mill, Nav, Lil Baby, and more - DJ Akademiks is now in a very weird position, so is Drake while he performs on his Anita Max Win Tour in Australia - but Kendrick is in a great position. Gearing up to perform at the 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show, Kendrick sat down with Ebro and Nadeska for an Apple Music press conference between the show and he spoke on the rap beef, the diss songs, ‘Not Like Us’, The Grammy Awards, his ‘GNX’ album, and more and we will break it all down.
Artists mentioned include: Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, DJ Akademiks, Lil Baby, Meek Mill, J. Cole, SZA, Dr. Dre, Future, 2Pac, Tupac, DMX, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, Tyler the Creator, Schoolboy Q, Kai Cent, Adin Ross, Jay Rock, TDE, Drake, 50 Cent, Kai Cent, J. Cole, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Baby, Gunna, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane,Kanye, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Apple Music, Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino, Future, Playboi Carti, A$AP Rocky, Snoop Dogg, Tyga, Birdman, Steve Lacey, Lil Wayne, Tunechi, Weezy F Baby, Lebron James, Meek Mill, Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Young Money, Demar Derozan, The Weeknd, Schoolboy Q, Tupac Shakir, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, P.

Kendrick is the only artist who can disappear for years and still have the entire industry shaking when he speaks.

[@isaachopkins9280]

Not the only but yes ... Kendrick is absolutely undeniable.

[@cabman81]

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show N’s

[@MOVEEEEZ]

Kanye too but for the wrong reasons 😂

[@seanchiguvare1863]

Facts the GOAT 🐐

[@Lightcomes2]

@@MOVEEEEZyeah Brodie just said free puff

[@AFO_AnalyRics]

Spoiler: Not once does Kendrick mention the beef, let alone Drake...which I think is the ultimate disrespect in itself.

[@Travel_Shift]

Thanks

[@NUCLEARDASH]

Hell yeah

[@jusadude186]

Good. He's an after thought.

[@thalmoragent9344]

​@jusadude186 He can't be an afterthought, Kendrick made his #1 song about dissing Drake. Kendrick and Drake are forever tied together in name now.

[@AFO_AnalyRics]

@thalmoragent9344 BWA hahahaha!

[@TalentedAndHot]

“lawbries & gentlegrahms” gotta be the funniest intro anyone’s ever adopted 😂

[@TheMrCarterShow]

One thing about Kendrick I really respect is that despite him being in the game for now more than 15 years, he still sounds as passionate, as hungry, as urgent as a new artist who’s got something to prove. Never lazy or complacent which is very rare for a huge artist. Much respect.

[@thalmoragent9344]

True, only a few MC's keep up the same energy from start to finish

[@Excelsior_15]

New energy? This is the man that said and I quote " I got my thumb on hip hop, and my foot in the back a yo ass, aftermath gets the last laugh" like 11 years ago. The energy isn't new.

[@Ichabodbrain]

"Jigga man shoulda retired" lol more like 15 years lmfaoooooo

[@shawnelobet9820]

Been tryna tell folks he been "that guy" yall jus got hip to it 😂

[@HookedonChronics]

Small little white dude with two baddies was hilarious

[@thalmoragent9344]

Wait, who? 😅

[@taxevasion4870]

U have to be grateful to kendrick reviving rap cos otherwise we'd have 5 years of pop country being forced on everyone

[@juliusbushiv2904]

Hahaha Big Facts

[@1738straight]

😂😂😂

[@iSoul33]

I think the best advice Kendrick gave us is "to be present" that's how I gotta live my life

[@CordajeRushing]

With all that we know now, I can see how drake lacking so much self awareness would reach out to Kendrick to get on First Person Shooter thinking that it was a good idea

[@elguwopo9692]

Drake gonna hate Kendrick like 50 cent hates Ja Rule 😭😭😭😭😭

[@quarters_cp3754]

Opposite way around drake is gonna hate Kendrick like he is ja rule🎉

[@dmaxv1]

This one is worse lol. Even Ja Rule never sued anybody lol. Drake needs to make the hip hop community forget that happened lol. Might happen next year tho….

[@janellebingham3807]

​@@dmaxv1 Nottt the way UMG talkin👀👀👀 they tryna burrry him🤔

[@dmaxv1]

@ I’m extremely petty and I’ve loved watching him get humbled. The only difference is that his old stuff is good enough to keep him relevant unfortunately.

[@kennarddawson9149]

Dear Drake.. I know you think it's over.. but the Super Bowl is eligible for a Daytime Emmy.. 😅😅 This is the greatest diss ever!!

[@8oichi]

wow this is diabolical. i never even made this connection. bro could get a triple crown with this

[@vhsblueray]

Kendrick gonna EGOT off this song 😂

[@yingkouzen]

The crown 👑 is heavy as Kendrick needs to ensure he can feed 30 employees & their family

[@kasaliawisdom2010]

True. Looks like everyones eating good over there tho💯

[@Gully2k]

Tom Holland is Zendaya’s finance and he plays Spider-Man and Timothée Chalamet is the one with kylie Jenner😂

[@reaper.-._.-._.-._.-.]

Bro had to have said that on purpose to get engament comments. No way he actually thought Tom Holland plays super man 😂

[@aarongabrielcornejo]

Her finance

[@angel2584]

Yo it really doesn't matter

[@demonraptor1]

​@@angel2584yeah it's ok, misinformation is cool

[@MichelleVincente]

So your name and who you are don't matter either huh ? ​@@angel2584

[@ruesydni7703]

Kendrick warned drake before already to "Stop playin' wit me fore' i turn you to a SONG" And now look what happened 🤣

[@KingBleck]

I feel bad for drake man this is the longest L in rap history

[@latuba27]

Well I'd have empathy for him if he didn't start it then drug it out cause his ego wouldn't allow him to accept the original L he took then acted as if he was attacked

[@TheStrangeVisitor]

@@KingBleck I have no sympathy for him. Like Kendrick said he wanted to keep it friendly. Drake did it to himself by bringing Kendrick's family name.

[@KingBleck]

@@TheStrangeVisitor true

[@KingBleck]

@@latuba27 true he thought he was above everyone

[@Ichabodbrain]

​@@KingBleck you shouldn't feel bad bro, he fed him the information, so this is exactly what he wanted Kendrick to say 😀😀 lmfao

[@pedrohernandez7964]

Timothy chalamet as Superman is crazy

[@crabbuckets7506]

Seeing Nadeska reminded me of the everyday struggle days. When she was the sane one while Joe would go at Jerry 😂 so good.

[@YoungSwaggness]

Thank The Wayans Brothers for the Superbowl halftime show 🙌🏾

[@---pd3dg]

the intro always takes me out 😭

[@emmanuelkinda2217]

Not Lawbrey suing 😂😂

[@MrJJGeniusofBasketball]

Kendrick is the man

[@brainrift]

No, u da man

[@latuba27]

I dont believe to compete with others just my self always try to be a better version of yourself ive always said that it give you a chance to grow vs calling yaself the best just to fall from grace cause you competitive with everyone else when you realize you arent the only qualified person to be the best -Lachelle

[@OfteninLondon]

This an absolutely great video…love it

[@ayandankosi2259]

Crazy that noone talks about meg and nicki's beef even when they're mentioning more obscure ones like quavo and chris

[@sherryfilms2504]

'cause it was over before it even really took off, and Meg basically gagged Nicki's bum ass in a single song based off a concept from law school. It don't get worse than that.

[@ayandankosi2259]

@sherryfilms2504 okay that's fair🤣 but guys it was still a momentous occasion, nicki was a legend and meg tore her AND her beige rage homie apart. It's more worth mentioning than whatever song Rick Ross dropped

[@TheStrangeVisitor]

Timothée Chalamet is in the clip with Kendrick Lamar. He is boyfriend of Kylie Jenner. Tom Holland is boyfriend of Zendaya. Timothée Chalamet plays Paul Atreides and Tom Holland plays Spider-man. Superman is going to be played by David Corenswet. 😅

[@youssefmic]

Kendrick is the iron-man of rap Just with the power of thanos

[@CordajeRushing]

Can anybody else here hear a tiny bit of Marshawn Lynch in Kendricks voice?

[@Simone-nb2iz]

I like the fact that he’s still down to earth even though he’s acquired millions of new glazers.

[@ngehamostimatang1998]

I think he's the only celebrity I actually admire.. He doesn't wear fame like it's a gold cloak

[@ThaboTouch-j5f]

😂😂I'm one of them last time I glazed Cristiano Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid.. Eminem released Kamikaze 😅😅😅

[@bevelyalridge9893]

I love your overall review thank you I appreciate any Kendrick Lamar

[@john.f.remedy.237]

The ‘leaked set list’ that WakademiksTV put out said he’ll say the ‘Mutha F$@k the big three’ line. Yeah, the FCC is gonna allow that, on national TV, during the Super Bowl…

[@ScamLikely9327]

The best part of the beef is all the bangers that were dropped that felt like a direct response to Kendrick. Kendrick got everyone writing that deep tricky bars again. They understood the assignment. Drake still bitching and moaning like Kendrick didn’t say he wants to kill every other rapper. Drake just goes why me?

[@brainrift]

Yeah I think Wayne just did a little sneak verse on tweaker remix he said money out of pocket like Lamar 😂 he called Kendrick out of pocket haha. Weezy F and the F is for Feature. It’s be good to see a Wayne vs Kendrick back and forth

[@OfteninLondon]

The like that verse did what control did for hip hop in 2013… he’s a reviver. He’s not our saviour but he had saved hip hop on more than one occasion

[@thalmoragent9344]

In the end, a Culture Vulture has been slain, and Hip-Hop has officially made a comeback, spilling into the spotlight!

[@argp]

Love your Ak stingers ;)

[@Trujillo4u]

He never once mentioned that file 🙄, amazing. I mean, there is no need

[@OfteninLondon]

People ask why I’m a Kendrick fan, it’s because of this. He’s always been passionate, he’s always been sincere to the art form and he has always shown us his hunger and growth. I don’t need him to be on the gram, she shows me his work through his music. I’ll always be team Kendrick and will never feel shame for it.

[@TRENTANYL]

All my homies hate Blake Lively

[@Tuncapoo]

😂😂

[@ebonyireland1775]

Put some respect on Tom's name 😂😂😂😂😂😂 calling him superman sent me 😭😭😭😭😭

[@syndicate5357]

I like how Kdot makes a whole disenfranchised massive amount of people feel seen and validated as well I like the fact that he talks about being present and mindfulness and gives the best advice on the topics when he's asked questions. No vapid crap or "get money n hoes" trash talk--real advice for everyone there

[@KatMatthews91]

He’s talking different. Like he got chipmunk cheeks lol ❤❤❤

[@Becauseimme]

I badly want to interview Nadeska, I think she has a great mind and insights that are waiting to be unlocked. There is something mysterious about her, and no one knows much about her away from music journalism.

[@GhoztMusic23]

Bruh switch the Kendrick thumbnail pic up lol

[@peaxeful2468]

tom holland plays spiderman💀 but yeah two white dudes with baddies fs

[@TheStrangeVisitor]

Whatever he said is true.

[@the_last_god_2321]

Can you do a breakdown of mr. morale

[@samanthaday5490]

1:33 booyyyyy💀💀

[@abelchristian951]

I don't want to hear nothing else about this beef or drake after the SUPERBOWL

[@lordknight9908]

😂 You grasshoppers if you want that feeling of real Let me introduce you to don trip.You're welcome😂

[@chefgrizz6284]

He won’t spoil the setlist so I will MTG U We Cry Together Bitch I’m in the Club

[@MercedesGarcia-fb1et]

Drake is either trolling us or he has the worst self awareness ever

[@dopeunapologetic7145]

He didn't start the battle, he just finished it and tucked a fake rapper back into his pajamas. He statred as a underground and battle rapper its who he is and what he does. He was on his Big Steppers tour, started in 2022, and ended in 2024, wtf. Thats why he didn't put anything out for those two years. I get it. This is all opinionated commentary here.

[@buzrkone9731]

Drake needs kendrick to be seen now

[@castfive4038]

It's 3AM rn

[@dfghjklkjhgfdsa]

Man tried to do The Control Verse again but things were in such a state that Drake and Jcole were the only ones around to shoot at that it would do anything. Things got a bit out of hand lol

[@ComradeSam_617]

All my homies hate Drake. Haters are pathetic ✌🏼

[@suavea823]

Shit is annoying bro, Cause deep down after all this end niggas STILL gon bump Drake music like it or not.

[@ComradeSam_617]

@suavea823 ? Think what you want

[@stuie1010203]

what if lil wayne does a guest appearance, not like rapping but on stage.

[@Simone-nb2iz]

That would have been nice, but after the tantrums and entitlement …. It won’t hit the same.

[@Anonymoussss0207]

You feel sorry for a millionaire ?.........

[@petter215jones]

Rap always been sport first business second.. once it became a business first it struck a problem

[@_proxyma]

NGL Kdot just is just him

[@1982AriesBaby]

I don't understand why y'all are using this is clickbait. Not once did he mention Drake's name about anything. Or say anything that pertains to him.

[@naturallynailah6983]

They talked about without saying names

[@MichelleVincente]

I had to stop watching this video after I realized that the creator of the video doesn't do it their homework. I understand not being able to pronounce Timothy chalamet but seriously you don't know the difference between him and Tom Holland who is Spider-Man not Superman. I mean that was like 20 seconds of homework I can't imagine anybody got that far and thought to themselves yeah let's stick and watch this video for information that would be accurate🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kyngqyou444]

Btw Tom Holland plays Spiderman not Superman

[@supa3311]

Hop off nadeska’s shmeat, you started off the video stating yourself that she was throwing out SOFTBALL questions.

[@CordajeRushing]

7:59 T-pain!!?? That was random

[@salmorales6927]

Nah he was massive at one point.. Until Jay-Z ended him 😂

[@DaRealestofAll]

who tf is doechii like did i miss something

[@rickysilverspoon2458]

He didn’t say anything about drake

[@Fast5Yi]

Wth did he say about drake i watched it 4 times.

[@Yelamar1]

Theses drake puns every video are getting cringe

[@homesetup506]

This is clickbait. What are you even putting together here?

[@Apeezys1229]

How is it clickbait? It talks about exactly what the title says

[@yurek_2Żywy]

Bro really thinks ima watch a 30 minute clickbait video

[@Vazo999]

Do a face reveal

[@MrSolcross]

Nobody can pronounce "accolades" after man at the gardens came out. Akulades?
