Drake and Kendrick Lamar, two of the biggest names in hip-hop, are set to clash once again as Drake announced his upcoming Australian tour schedule, which coincides with Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance. This news comes after a year of intense rivalry between the two artists, with both releasing diss tracks aimed at each other.
Kendrick Lamar, who recently surprised fans with his new album GNX, is scheduled to headline the Super Bowl half-time show in New Orleans on February 9th. Meanwhile, Drake revealed during a recent appearance that his Australian tour, named Anita Max Wynn, will also kick off on the same day, with shows planned in Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast.
The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar dates back several years but escalated when Kendrick referred to himself, Drake, and J Cole as hip hop’s “big three.” This led to a series of diss tracks where both artists took jabs at each other’s families, appearances, and rap skills.
During his recent stream appearance, Drake hinted at his upcoming album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, stating that it was 75% complete. He also addressed the accusations made against him by Kendrick, emphasizing the need for facts over fairytales to bring him down.
While Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance marks a significant milestone in his career, some critics argue that the slot should have gone to New Orleans native Lil Wayne. Kendrick seemed to acknowledge this in his new album, expressing feelings of being let down despite his hard work.
As fans eagerly anticipate both Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl show and Drake’s Australian tour, the rivalry between these two rap icons continues to captivate the music world. Only time will tell how this latest clash will unfold and what new developments will emerge in the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
