What a Creep
Kendrick Lamar & the Drake Feud
Season 28, Episode 5

The 59th annual Super Bowl became the backdrop for the intense feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, one of the most significant rivalries in modern hip-hop. Fueled by long-standing tensions over artistic credibility, lyrical skill, and industry dominance, this conflict has been brewing for over a decade. However, it escalated in 2024 with a series of explosive diss tracks. Kendrick's songs "Euphoria" and "Not Like Us" took direct shots at Drake's authenticity, personal life, and alleged manipulation within the industry.

In response, Drake released "Family Matters," which questioned Kendrick’s relationships and his status as a leader in rap. Now that the world knows this beef, let’s explore some of Drake’s more problematic behaviors. (Yes, we are Team Kendrick here!)

Trigger warning: Grooming and Margo’s aging Gen X brain.

In one of the track’s most controversial lines, Lamar reinforces his point: "Why you trollin' like a b—? Ain't you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A-minor."The single's cover art features an aerial view of Drake’s Toronto estate, edited to resemble a sex offender registry map, highlighting the homes of convicted offenders.
