Drake gives shocking response to 'F*** Kendrick' Lamar chant at London festival after brutal feud

Drake had a surprise reaction when his concert in London was interrupted by fans to bash his nemesis Kendrick Lamar on Saturday.
The 38-year-old hitmaker (real name: Aubrey Drake Graham) was headlining Rockstar Energy's Wireless Festival with an unusual arrangement in which he headlined all three nights of the festival.
And on night two, audience members interrupted one of his monologues to chant 'F*** Kendrick,' referring to Lamar.
Even though the feud had seemed to recede from the spotlight in recent months, Drake — whose massive gambling losses were recently revealed — seemed happy to encourage the chant from the stage.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Drake and Lamar for comment but hasn't yet received a response.
As the audience's chants grew more frenzied, Drake turned toward the backstage area and called to his head of security Chubbs, who was called out by name by Kendrick in Not Like Us.

'Chubbs, grab me a shot. I'll drink to that,' Drake said, which was met with a wave of cheers from his fans, though he appeared to move on with the show from there.
The hitmaker may have anticipated some anti-Lamar sentiment from the audience, as his intro seemed to leave an opening for his fans.
Before the chant started, he bragged about how he was performing 'three different sets' with 'three different vibes' at the festival in London.
'You name another artist that can do that then bring them up here. We can clash right now. Anybody,' he said, though Lamar would have been the first thought for anyone family with their beef when he suggested a 'clash.'
Drake also appeared to signal a falling out with Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James in the wake of the NBA icon's apparent support of Lamar in their feud.
Drake previously had a photo of LaBron on his left arm, but it was revealed to have been covered up with a new design of Oklahoma City Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Saturday.
Earlier this year, Drake changed the lyrics to his song Nonstop from 'How I go from 6 to 23 like I'm LeBron' to 'How I go from 6 to 23 but not LeBron,' which fans interpreted as a jab at the basketball player, and he repeated the revised lyrics on Saturday.
In January, fans speculated that Drake's Fighting Irish Freestyle was intended to take aim at LeBron when it surfaced on social media.

Drake also included a LeBron James diss after he appeared to support Lamar earlier this year. His LeBron tattoo was notably covered up with a new design of Oklahoma City Thunder player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Drake and Lamar feuded with a rapid-fire barrage of diss tracks last year, culminating with Kendrick's Grammy-winning Super Bowl centerpiece Not Like Us, in which he provocatively called the In My Feelings rapper a 'pedophile.'
He also took aim at several of Drake's regular collaborators and business associates in the song as well.
Although the Canadian actor-turned-rapper had traded diss tracks with Lamar, and followed up Not Like Us the following day with The Heart Part 6 — a parody of a series of song titles his nemesis had previously released — he appeared to step back from the feud after Not Like Us became a chart-topping hit.
The song's reception suggested that many music industry figures had turned against Drake when much of the audience at the 2025 Grammy Awards joined in to sing Not Like Us when it played as Kendrick's walk-up music as he was awarded the prestigious honors Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
The song ultimately won five Grammys, giving it a tie for the most-awarded song of all time at the ceremony.
Just days later, Lamar got to share his side of the feud when he hosted the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which culminated in a performance of Not Like Us that included Drake's ex-girlfriend Serena Williams crip walking.
Notably, the rapper censored himself when he got to his infamous line, 'Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.'
However, it's unclear if that was done to avoid potential legal complications, or if it was a request by the broadcaster or the NFL.
Drake had already filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group, the parent company of both of their labels, due to what he said were the .
