Kendrick Lamar Comedy From Trey Parker and Matt Stone Moves to Spring 2026
The script for the project is by Vernon Chatman and while Paramount has yet to reveal any plot details, with the studio only describing the movie as an 'original live-action comedy.'
Lamar and Dave Free are producing through their company pgLang, while Stone and Parker are producing for Park County.
Paramount film chief Brian Robbins spoke about the project at last year's CinemaCon, calling it 'one of the funniest and most original scripts we've ever read.' The film is the first feature from the duo in more than two decades – their last feature was 2004's puppet-filled 'Team America: World Police;' before that was their Oscar-nominated 1999 'South Park' movie 'Bigger, Longer & Uncut.'
Lamar recently performed a political and Easter egg-packed Super Bowl halftime show and has won 22 Grammy awards (including several this year). On the film side of things, he appeared in last year's LEGO-fied Pharrell Williams documentary 'Piece by Piece' and oversaw the blockbuster soundtrack for Marvel Studios' 2018 smash 'Black Panther.'

On the surprise single Drake calls out those who turned their backs on him: 'You n—-s just better not ask for no favors,' he warns. 'It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor.'

Later, he references sightings at Kendrick's 2024 Pop Out show, lamenting, 'It feels like nobody's there until you start givin' out two-tones/ And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone/ Y'all been on that type of timing for too long/ Iceman, Tiffany blue stones/ I done made plenty s— right out of two wrongs/ S—, let's go.' On a third verse, he raps, 'What did I miss?/ When I was looking at y'all and cooking with y'all/ And giving out verses and bookings to y'all/ Making sure wires were hit/ Man, what did I miss?/ When you was all in my crib lookin' at hoes/ Word for word at all of the shows/ You always felt like this, man?/ What did I miss?' 'What Did I Miss?' was penned by Drake, produced by London Cyr, O Lil Angel, DJ LEWIS, FNZ, Elyas, GYZ, Tay Keith, OZ and Patron, and released via OVO/Republic on streaming services. Ahead of the song's premiere, fans caught an unannounced livestream on Friday that had Drake clocking in at an Iceman warehouse, where he went from sipping coffee on break to launching into a solo performance of the new track: first surrounded by rifles on the break room TV screen, and then among ice blocks in the warehouse freezer. The footage also had him driving an Iceman truck around the city and making small talk with fans approaching his vehicle: 'Iceman, man, you already know,' Drake said at one point. 'C'mon, bro, you already know.' Drake didn't upload the event to his channels after streaming, but fans captured and shared the clip across social media, speculating 'Iceman' is his new album era.

Drake Appears to Call Out Friends Who Didn't Stand by Him in Aftermath of Kendrick Lamar Beef on New Song 'What Did I Miss?'
Drake has released a new single — "What Did I Miss?" — in which he seemingly calls out the friends who didn't stand by his side The track arrives more than a year after his public lyrical sparring with Kendrick Lamar "Last time I looked to my right, you n----s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p------ who try me," Drake raps on the new trackDrake is seemingly reflecting on the aftermath of his public back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar — and he's making it clear how he feels about those he apparently lost along the way. On Friday, July 4, the 38-year-old musician released the new single "What Did I Miss?" as part of his 'Iceman: Episode 1' livestream, alongside an apparent message for the friends who didn't take his side amid the high-profile hip-hop feud. In the track, the OVO Sound founder offers some words for the "traitors" in his life, and he appears to name-drop Lamar's June 2024 The Pop Out concert in Los Angeles — the one where Lamar performed his diss track "Not Like Us" five times back-to-back. "I don't give a f--- if you love me, I don't give a f--- if you like me," Drake opens his new song. "Askin' me, 'How did it feel?' Can't say it didn't surprise me / Last time I looked to my right, you n----s was standing beside me / How can some people I love hang around p------ who try me?" After the first verse of "What Did I Miss?" — in which Drake declares, "Love for my brothers and death to a traitor" — he elaborates in the second verse. "I'm back in your city tonight, walkin' around with my head high / I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been d--- riding gang since 'Headlines,' " he raps, referencing his 2011 Take Care single.

"It feels like nobody's there until you start givin' out two-tones / And nobody cares until they in front of your tombstone / Y'all been on that type of timing for too long," he continues. Drake paired his new single with a visual, featuring himself posing with dozens of what appear to be weapons near a pool, before dancing in a warehouse of ice. Drake's latest comments come more than a year after his beef with Lamar, 38, resulted in the release of several disses from both parties, including Lamar's Grammy-winning track "Not Like Us." Former Drake collaborators Future, Metro Boomin and Rick Ross were among those also involved in the exchange of diss tracks in 2024 — as other collaborators appeared at Lamar's Pop Out concert that June. Since then, Drake has taken legal action against Universal Music Group in the months that followed the release and promotion of "Not Like Us," alleging that the song defamed him. UMG has denied the accusations that it intentionally tried to harm Drake's career. Since then, Drake has released his first album since the feud, his collaborative effort with PartyNextDoor, $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, which spawned hit single "Nokia." $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, released in February, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, while "Nokia" peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in April.
