Drake & Kendrick Lamar Battle It Out In Canada

Drake & Kendrick Lamar Battle It Out In Canada

Alright, buckle up, because the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar showdown just got a lot hotter! And the latest dish? K-Dot took his verbal smackdown straight to the 6ix, Drake's very own backyard, in Canada. Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight, except the knife is a mic and the gun is... well, still a mic, but with more emotional damage.

So, on June 12th, Kendrick hit the stage up north and dropped "Not Like Us" like a truth bomb. And honey, the crowd? They were singing along to every syllable of that diss track like it was the national anthem. Forget maple syrup, turns out Toronto's got a taste for straight-up lyrical savagery when Kendrick's in town. You could practically hear Drake's home-field advantage crumbling like a stale cookie. Awkward.

But wait, there's more! Because what's a rap beef without a random politician getting caught in the crossfire? Enter Jagmeet Singh, a Canadian political figure who apparently thought, "Hey, I'll just casually attend a Kendrick concert in Drake's city!" Bless his heart. Of course, photos went viral faster than a Kardashian scandal, and the internet — and apparently, Drake himself — was not having it. Drizzy reportedly slid into Singh's DMs with the very concise and utterly savage message: "You're a goof." And Singh, looking like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar, had to issue an apology: "I shouldn't have gone at all." You think?!

Let's rewind this decade-long saga, shall we? These two have been throwing shade since 2013, but spring 2024? That's when things went from simmering to a full-blown inferno. Nine tracks, people! NINE! They aired out more dirty laundry than a busy laundromat, from hometown pride to accusations so wild they made your jaw drop. But then "Not Like Us" came along, snatched the mic, and basically declared itself the winner, launching this whole mess into the mainstream like a rocket. It’s been a masterclass in petty, and we are absolutely here for it.

To celebrate this epic rap battle, we've created limited edition tee shirts. Which of these tee shirt designs related to this glorious mess would you actually rock?
