Kendrick Lamar taunts Drake during Grand National Tour opener while Drake intensifies legal action.

Kendrick Lamar reignited his feud with Drake during the opening night of his Grand National Tour on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota. Lamar staged a skit that openly mocked Drake’s signature “drop drop” adlib from his diss track Family Matters.

The skit featured Lamar seated in a mock deposition. When an off-screen voice asked about “Sunday, Feb. 9”—the date of Kendrick’s Super Bowl halftime show—he quipped, “I don’t keep up with dates.” The voice then mimicked Drake’s “Drop. Drop. Drop” refrain, triggering a transition into the opening beat of Kendrick’s Not Like Us, which played across the stadium as fans erupted.

The stunt quickly drew reactions online, with fans debating whether Lamar’s jab was clever or overplayed. Fans commented praises for Kendrick’s boldness to claims that the feud is the only thing keeping him in the spotlight. Some argued that Drake elevated Lamar’s public profile, while others applauded Kendrick’s persistence and theatrical flair.

As Lamar turns up the heat on stage, Drake is responding through legal channels. According to CNN, the rapper has amended his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), citing recent censorship of lyrics from Not Like Us. His legal team noted that both the Super Bowl performance and the Grammys redacted a line implying criminal behavior, which they argue supports Drake’s defamation claims.

With lyrical shots and legal filings both in motion, the feud between Lamar and Drake shows no signs of cooling. Whether in courtrooms or stadiums, each move continues to captivate fans and stir debate.
