Drake Opens Up About His Battle With Kendrick Lamar

In 2024, Drake and Kendrick Lamar faced each other in one of rap’s biggest lyrical conflicts. The feud began with “Like That” and concluded after Drake responded with the poorly received “The Heart Part 6.” Along the way, both sides released major records including “Push Ups,” “Euphoria,” “Family Matters,” “Not Like Us,” and “Meet The Grahams.”

Several other musicians appeared to support the campaign against Drake during that period. Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, Future, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd all seemed involved in the conflict. Their participation inspired Drake to describe the feud as a 20v1 situation.

Drizzy found himself in another version of a 20v1 over the weekend. During Stake’s ninth anniversary broadcast, he participated in a dating show involving 20 women, with Lily Phillips, Lena The Plug, and several other guests making appearances.

Following the broadcast, Drake shared a summary of the evening on social media and wrote, “My second 20 V 1 was almost as lit as the first..”

Drake Reflects On His Kendrick Lamar Feud

The statement represents an unusual acknowledgment from Drake about his clash with Kendrick. Reading into his words, the Canadian superstar appears to feel that he came out on top. His message also suggests that he remembers the experience as something enjoyable.

That attitude seems very different from the decisions he has made privately. His legal action against UMG, for example, showed that he felt wronged by the events surrounding the feud. Drake apparently views the battle as an organized attempt by the label industry to remove him from his leading position.

Describing the conflict as “lit” now may therefore seem somewhat insincere. Still, remarks like these encourage his supporters to stand behind him, and Drake has repeatedly shown that he knows how to persuade his audience to accept his version of events.
