The boy is back outside! Drake took the stage with Nicki Minaj just hours after seemingly trolling Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘Euphoria.’
Lamar went upside Drake’s head for a little over six minutes on the diss. He threw shots at the rapper’s proximity to Blackness, his nationality, his role as a father, his position in rap, his style, and his music.
Within hours of its release, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, Gunna, and even Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary had weighed in.
Then, after much anticipation from social media users, Drizzy gave his first response to ‘Euphoria.’ The rapper shared a scene from the movie ’10 Things I Hate About You’ that shows actress Julia Stiles reciting a poem about “hating” someone. Drake seemed to be trolling Kendrick Lamar’s bars about hating him.
In ‘Euphoria,’ Lamar went IN on things he hates about Drake. He rapped, “Now let me say I’m the biggest hater. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate that you dress. I hate the way that you dress. I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch a flight, it’s gon be direct. We hate the b*****s you f**k ’cause they confuse themselves with real women. And notice I said we, it’s not just me. I’m what the culture feeling.”

Drake has been instigating a response from K Dot, releasing two diss tracks before ‘Euphoria’ arrived on April 30. First, Drizzy dropped ‘Push Ups,’ which hit back at Kendrick, but also Rick Ross and Metro Boomin specifically.
Then, he released ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ via his social media. Drake later removed the second track after an alleged threat of a lawsuit from Tupac Shakur’s estate. Drizzy had featured AI vocals from Pac and Snoop Dogg on the diss track. In the caption of the release, he wrote, “While we wait on you I guess.”
After his light trolling on social media, Drake popped out in real life with Nicki Minaj! The rapper took the stage at her second show in Toronto on Tuesday night (April 30).

Nicki spoke about what Drake’s support meant to her in an X post on May 1. She wrote, “Looking through my DRICKI pics & they came out so cute. Awwwwwwwww. He made me so happy tonight by coming out. Them screams be REAL different when the boy touch down chi. Posting some IG content shortly.”
