During a festive livestream event, Drake nearly triggered a storm by almost dissing Kendrick Lamar while reading a fan’s letter.
Drake and Adin Ross brought the holiday spirit to life with their “Drizzmas Giveaway,” featuring extravagant prizes like luxury cars and vacations. Hosted on the streaming platform Kick, the event drew over 180,000 viewers within the first hour, signaling a massive success.
Despite the festive atmosphere, the stream soon became the center of attention for a different reason. While reading a fan’s letter curious about winning Drake concert tickets in Australia, a sneaky remark about Kendrick Lamar caught everyone’s attention. “It’s always f*** Kendrick…” the letter prompted. Drake, realizing the potential controversy, immediately stopped himself, saying, “Oh, I am not reading that.”
Drake’s quick halt to reading the letter didn’t stop the internet from responding with jokes and memes. Fans playfully mocked his hesitation, while others referenced his past legal troubles in a humorous light. Nevertheless, the moment sparked a wave of online chatter, adding another layer to the ongoing Drake and Kendrick Lamar rivalry.
In the stream, Drake took a moment to talk about Future, Tory Lanez, and Lil Durk, mentioning their recent issues. He also expressed excitement for a potential comeback by Young Thug, eagerly saying, “Welcome home, Thug.” Additionally, Drake hinted at his upcoming album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, claiming it to be their best work yet. Originally slated for a December release, fans are still waiting for its arrival.
With a fanbase engaged and entertained, and a possible musical rivalry re-ignited, Drake and Adin Ross’s livestream certainly left an impact. However, it seems this wasn’t the kind of attention Drake was seeking. His almost slip with Kendrick Lamar’s name is unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon.
Though the “Drizzmas Giveaway” was a hit, it was Drake’s near blunder with Kendrick Lamar’s name that left the internet buzzing. His quick recovery might have saved face, but in the world of social media, such moments tend to linger.
