The internet thinks Drake has taken another loss months after his rival Kendrick Lamar delivered a final blow to him at this year’s Super Bowl amid their ongoing rap beef.
By now you’ve probably heard that the Canadian rapper and Compton emcee were at odds for years, with the public rift dramatically reaching new heights last year after Lamar and Drake exchanged accusations of pedophilia, infidelity and drug use against each other in a series of diss tracks.
The quarrel between the artists escalated earlier this year after Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), accusing the label of spreading a “false and malicious narrative.”
The “6 God” rapper’s lawsuit alleged that UMG intentionally released and promoted Lamar’s diss track, “Not Like Us,” which Drake claims falsely portrays him as a pedophile.
Now, it appears Drake has inadvertently resurrected the feud with Lamar after he called out Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh for recently attending Lamar’s concert in his home country. Lamar and SZA made a concert stop in Toronto to perform at the Rogers Centre on June 12 and 13.
On Sunday, Drake revealed on Instagram that he reached out to Singh to slam him for going to the concert.
“You’re a goof,” Drake wrote in a DM to the former New Democratic Party leader, which the musician screenshot and showed off on his Instagram story, multiple outlets reported.
Reps for Drake didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, had a lot to say about Drake boldly blasting Singh.
“This is some high school shit [laugh emoji],” one person wrote. “I don’t know what’s funnier, Drake crashing out over a politician going to a Kendrick show or Jagmeet’s apologies. It’s been over a year and this beef is still so entertaining.”
Another said, “Ain’t no way Drake was crying in Jagmeet Singh’s DMs just because he went to see the Kendrick concert.”
“Why is Jagmeet Singh expressing regrets and apologies for going to major, well-attended concert in Toronto?,” someone else questioned before adding, “He doesn’t owe Drake anything.”
A separate user accused Drake of bullying Singh, writing, “not drake bullying jagmeet singh into apologizing for going to a kendrick concert [crying emoji].”
Another user pointed at the fact that last year, Snoop Dogg apologized to Lamar after the “Gin & Juice” musician posted Drake’s diss song, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” on his Instagram account.
Comparing the two situations, the X user called out the internet’s outrage over Drake’s comment to Singh as “hypocrisy.”
Singh later issued an apology to Drake for attending the show.
“I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” he wrote in a Sunday post on his Instagram Story. “I was born in this city. I love this city.”
Singh continued, “But real talk, I get it. I shouldn’t have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and [Canada] emoji.”
He wrapped up his message, declaring: “For me it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
Drake has yet to address Singh’s apology publicly.
