Drake is at it again, but this time he’s taking a more subtle route in his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. Earlier this week, fans couldn’t help but notice something fishy about a new ad on OVO’s Instagram. The ad featured a woman wearing a simple white tank top, often called a “wife beater,” who looked startlingly similar to Kendrick’s fiancée, Whitney Alford.
Throughout their notorious beef, Drake has accused Kendrick Lamar of domestic violence multiple times. Fans are speculating that this latest move is Drake’s sneaky way of throwing shade at his rival without actually saying anything. The resemblance of the model to Alford is so uncanny that it’s hard to believe it could just be a coincidence.
As one might expect, opinions on social media are split. Some fans are calling Drake’s dig clever and subtle, while others think it’s petty and uncalled for. Meanwhile, Kendrick’s fans are less than pleased, ripping into Drake for not directly addressing Kendrick’s latest projects and public appearances. Despite the backlash, Drake seems to be maintaining his popularity. He was recently named the most-streamed rapper on Spotify for the sixth consecutive month.
However, critics argue that Drake’s silence on Kendrick’s recent successes is telling. Aside from a few features and vague social media posts, Drake has been mostly quiet, even as Kendrick continues to make waves with new music and high-profile appearances. It’s clear that this ad has added fuel to the fire in their ongoing rivalry, and fans are eagerly watching to see what happens next.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s impossible to deny the cleverness behind Drake’s latest move. By using a Whitney Alford lookalike, he managed to throw shade at Kendrick without uttering a single word. Whether you see it as genius marketing or a low blow, one thing’s for sure: this feud is far from over.
It looks like Drake has once again stirred the pot in his long-standing feud with Kendrick Lamar, this time using an OVO ad and a strategic model choice. The debate among fans continues, but one thing is certain: the world is watching, and this rivalry is far from settled.
