Drake ignites rumors of avoiding Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl act by scheduling his tour in Australia on the same day.
- Fans suspect Drake’s Australia tour might be a strategic move to dodge the Super Bowl where Kendrick is set to perform.
- Drake’s decision sparks a lively debate among fans and media on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
- Some argue Drake’s tour is a smart money-making strategy, while Kendrick’s big show is free.
- Despite the rumors, time zone differences might mean no direct clash between Drake’s tour and the Super Bowl.
Drake is stirring the pot with his upcoming tour announcement in Australia that coincidentally aligns with Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. This decision has lit up social media with speculation about whether Drake is purposefully steering clear of his rap rival’s big moment.
The tour is set to kick off on February 9, the exact date of Super Bowl LIX. Given the enormity of the Super Bowl audience, fans are bemused by Drake’s timing, questioning if it’s a tactical move to avoid the spotlight.
Users on X couldn’t help but jab at the rapper’s choice, with comments like “Drake made sure he was busy on Super Bowl Sunday.” The timing has left many wondering if Drake is really just sidestepping the event.
While some are poking fun, others, like Akademiks, defend Drake, noting the financial incentive of his tour. Unlike Kendrick, who headlines the Super Bowl for free, Drake stands to earn significantly from his performances down under.
Also, there’s the factor of the 17-hour time difference between Australia and New Orleans. This means Drake’s concert won’t necessarily interfere with the live Super Bowl show.
Kendrick Lamar, meanwhile, is ready to make history with his Super Bowl performance. Despite some backlash from fans of other artists, like Lil Wayne, Kendrick’s slot has been widely anticipated.
Interestingly, Kendrick mentioned that Nas was the only peer to commend him on the Super Bowl gig, even rapping about it on his new album GNX. Nas shared his excitement on Instagram, celebrating Kendrick’s achievement.
This ongoing narrative showcases the dynamic between two of hip-hop’s biggest stars. While they’ll be on different stages, their actions keep fueling fans’ debates and curiosity.
It looks like both Drake and Kendrick Lamar will have their moments next February, regardless of the distance.
