But, it was another moment on stage that really caught fans attention. In clips circulating social media snipped from the event, Drake can be heard onstage asking the audience to name an artist he should clash with and that he will bring them onstage. The crowd then breaks out into a chorus chanting the expletive 'F*** Kendrick' in reference to rap rival Kendrick Lamar. To which Drake responds: 'Grab me a shot I'll drink to that.'

"It's been a year and drake is still dragging it I'm in tears." penned a third. 'Kendrick n Drake will never end this feud.' added a fourth. The duo's feud began when Drake and J. Cole released First Person Shooter, in which the latter claimed that himself, Drake, and Kendrick are the 'big three' of hip-hop. Their beef then escalated when Kendrick featured on Future and Metro Boomin's song Like That. On the abovementioned track, Kendrick responded to the claim of a "big three" in his verse where he instead stated, 'It's just big me," and accused Drake and J. Cole of sneak dissing. Kendrick also alluded to Drake's album For All the Dogs and added: "For all your dogs gettin' buried, that's a K with all these nines, he gon' see Pet Sematary." Drake responded to Kendrick with the track Push Ups, which had lyrics ridiculing Kendrick's height and his mainstream collaborations with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5. Fuel was added to the fire when Kendrick then released Not Like Us, which accuses Drake of being a pedophile. The tune won Kendrick five awards for best music video, rap song, rap performance, song, and record of the year at the Grammys in 2025. With Canadian superstar Drake suing Universal Music Group with a defamation lawsuit over the track. 5 5
