Angelina brings you the latest buzz from the rap world, where Drake made waves on Sunday night during a live stream with popular Twitch streamer XQC. The stream coincided with the surprise release of Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX—a drop that reignited their ongoing rivalry, particularly after Kendrick’s Grammy-nominated diss track, “Not Like Us.”
Drake, known for his sharp comebacks, appeared unbothered by the album release. Introducing himself on camera, he said, “I’m here, as you can see, fully intact. You need facts to take me out. Fairytales won’t do it.” The statement echoed sentiments from his track “The Heart pt.6,” where he addressed Kendrick’s earlier jabs.
Highlights from the Livestream,
- The Mood: The two-hour stream featured Drake gambling with XQC and enjoying magic tricks performed by a guest he brought along.
- Petty Jabs: When XQC accidentally played a song by The Weeknd, Drake, with a hint of shade, requested, “We only play real sixers around here,” questioning The Weeknd’s Toronto ties.
- A Lighthearted Dig at Steve Lacy: As Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” played, Drake hummed along but referred to Lacy as a “Fragile Opp.” Lacy took the comment in stride, playfully posting a bashful emoji on Instagram with the caption: “Who tryna be my…fragile opp.”
Drake’s Updates on Music and Tours,
Drake revealed he’s “seventy-five percent done” with his collaborative album with Partynextdoor. Fans can also look forward to his first Australian tour in eight years, kicking off on February 9th. Interestingly, the date coincides with the Super Bowl, where Kendrick Lamar is set to perform at halftime. However, given the time difference, Drake could potentially catch the game before hitting the stage.
Angelina notes how Drake masterfully balances his cool demeanour with subtle jabs, keeping fans intrigued while dropping major music updates. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving rivalry and upcoming releases,
