In the wake of Kendrick Lamar’s impressive wins at the 2025 Grammy Awards, including coveted titles like Record of the Year and Song of the Year for his track “Not Like Us,” tensions between Lamar and his long-time rival Drake seem to be intensifying. The ongoing feud between the two rappers has been marked by a flurry of diss tracks aimed at each other, with Lamar’s latest success at the Grammys adding fuel to the fire.
Despite Lamar’s triumphant night at the awards show, Drake and his father, Dennis Graham, appear unfazed by the recognition. Drake, who had previously sued his record label over the release of “Not Like Us,” has remained tight-lipped about Lamar’s wins. Instead, he decided to shift the focus by teasing new music scheduled for release on Valentine’s Day, as he shared a sneak peek of a music video on Instagram with producer PartyNextDoor.
On the other hand, Dennis Graham, in a candid street interview filmed post-Grammys, expressed his nonchalance towards Lamar’s victories, stating, “I don’t care nothing about that s—. That ain’t got nothing to do with me.” He went on to wish Lamar well and praised the quality of this year’s Grammy Awards show.
The ongoing feud between Drake and Lamar dates back more than a year, with both artists releasing tracks taking shots at each other. Lamar’s “Not Like Us” in particular sparked controversy with its lyrics making insinuations about Drake’s conduct, leading to a legal battle between Drake and Universal Music Group over the song’s release and defamation claims.
Drake’s lawsuit against the record label highlighted the serious accusations made in “Not Like Us” and vehemently denied any wrongdoing on his part. The legal battle has shed light on the complexities of the music industry and the repercussions of escalating personal conflicts into public spats that impact not just the artists involved but also their business relationships.
As the dust settles on the Grammys, it remains to be seen how Drake and Lamar’s rivalry will evolve in the coming weeks and months. With Drake gearing up for the release of new music and Lamar basking in the glow of his Grammy success, fans are left eagerly anticipating what twists and turns lie ahead in this ongoing saga between two of the music industry’s biggest names.
In the world of hip hop, where egos and reputations often collide, the Drake-Lamar feud serves as a reminder of the high stakes involved in the pursuit of musical dominance. As fans and critics alike dissect every lyric and award victory, the drama continues to unfold, leaving observers on the edge of their seats, eager to see what the next chapter in this riveting saga will bring.
