Exclusive Insights: Celebrities Sound Off on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s Epic Rap Battle
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap beef has taken the hip-hop world by storm, serving as one of the most significant moments in the genre this year. The impact of their lyrical battle has not only captured the attention of rap enthusiasts but has also drawn in spectators from different backgrounds who have been intrigued by the ongoing feud.
The saga began in March when Kendrick Lamar dropped some fiery bars on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That.” Things escalated quickly when Drake responded with his own track “Push Ups” just three weeks later. Subsequent social media posts and a diss track titled “Taylor Made Freestyle” from Drake prompted Kendrick to fire back with “Euphoria.” Since then, the tension has continued to mount, keeping hip-hop fans on the edge of their seats as they dissect each verse with fervor.
The drama didn’t just resonate within the hip-hop community. Celebrities from various industries also weighed in on the feud, offering their own perspectives on the battle between Drake and Kendrick.
During Seth Rogen’s benefit event, “Smokes the Bowl,” the comedian shared his views on the rap beef, humorously pointing out why he believed Drake might have lost the battle. Rogen jokingly remarked, “I would say as soon as you are asserting in a rap song that you should not be a registered sex offender, you’ve lost the rap battle.”
On “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the sports commentator expressed his opinion that the feud should have centered on skills rather than personal matters. Stephen A. Smith highlighted the personal nature of the conflict, suggesting that it was tarnishing the images of both artists involved.
Even WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels chimed in, proposing a novel idea for Drake and Kendrick to settle their differences in the WWE ring. Michaels’ playful challenge came after Kendrick referenced his signature move on the track “Not Like Us.”
Actor Shia LeBeouf also made his allegiances clear, seemingly siding with Kendrick by referencing lyrics from “Not Like Us” in a cryptic tweet. However, LeBeouf’s tweet was soon met with a resurgence of scrutiny regarding his past abuse allegations.
These non-rap celebrities added an intriguing perspective to one of the most intense rap feuds in recent memory, showcasing the far-reaching impact of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing battle in the music world.
Overall, the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has not only captivated hip-hop fans but has also managed to draw in listeners from various backgrounds, further solidifying its status as one of the defining moments in the genre this year.
