A new video has been circulating on social media, one that depicts Canadian rapper Drake walking out on Kick streamer xQc when the latter plays Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us. However, the video has since been debunked as it has been cut and edited in a way that makes it look like that.
Watch the now-debunked video below:
In reality, however, the rapper did fire subtle shots at Kendrick Lamar, adding another twist to the K.DOT and Drake saga. In the original video, Drake asserts that it takes a lot to take him down, as he seemingly rubbishes all of the claims his adversary made on the diss track.
In Not Like Us, Kendrick Lamar calls out Drake for allegedly being a pedophile, chasing after minors, and fathering a secret daughter. The latter has vehemently denied all such claims.
Drake alludes to his beef with Kendrick Lamar and asserts that it takes more than "fairytales" to take him down
In the original video, Drake and xQc can be seen hanging out on a Kick stream, when the rap legend decided to give everyone a quick introduction before he made the quick diss:
"I’m Drake, this is xQc, real streaming legend. Me, I do music, in case you don’t know. I’m here, fully intact, mind, body, and soul, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out, fairytales won’t do it.”
While xQc didn't ask the Passionfruit rapper to dissect his words, he doubled down on his stance later on in the stream:
"Nothing makes me uncomfortable. I’ve worked too hard to be uncomfortable. Nothing phases me, like I said, it takes only facts to fold me, fairytales don’t work.”
During the live stream, the rapper also revealed that he will be hitting the road for his Anita Max Wynn Tour on February 9, 2025, in Australia-- the same day Kendrick Lamar is slated to perform at the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Earlier this week, Kendrick dropped a minute-long teaser for his GNX album, catching his fans off-guard. The rapper's sixth studio release features 12 tracks, and it dropped on his social media channels on Friday. It features guest appearances from SZA, Kamasi Washington, and more.
This is Lamar's first album since Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, which came out in 2022. The reviews so far have been positive, with AP News calling the album "thrilling," and referring to Lamar as "an ambitious and searingly talented poet from Compton working through his - and the world’s - contradictions on the biggest stage, forever discomforted by his crown."
