Kendrick Lamar’s Camp Is Unconcerned With Entertaining Drake Beef: “We Leaving The Canadian Alone”

Kendrick Lamar has apparently moved on from his rap beef with Drake, as the Compton native is said to be unconcerned with engaging the hitmaker moving forward.

On Sunday (Aug. 25), a social media user on X asked Lil L, a known affiliate of Lamar, whether they had any intention to “splash” Drake again with more diss tracks and slights. According to Lil L, who also goes by Euro Luxxk, Kendrick and his team are currently focused on their respective creative endeavors and have no plans on resuming any lyrical or visual back-and-forths with Drake.

“Nah we leaving the Canadian alone,” Lil L wrote in response to the inquiry. “Everybody just working at this moment so just stay tune[d].”

Questions regarding Lamar’s stance on his spat with Drake come amid a cryptic social media post by the Toronto rapper seemingly teasing another onslaught against Kendrick, whom many declared the victor in their rap beef.

The 6 God recently shared a clip of former Detroit Pistons star Rasheed Wallace’s comments following his team’s defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in game one of the 2004 Eastern Conference. According to Wallace, he and the Pistons would avenge their loss against the Pacers in the second game of the series to even the score, a guarantee the forward made in emphatic fashion.

“Y’all can put it on the front page, back page, middle page, wherever, headliners, column one or two — we will win game two,” Wallace said during the postgame interview, a prediction that proved to be prophetic, as the Pistons would not only win the subsequent game, but the series as a whole before defeating the heavily favored Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals to win the 2004 NBA championship.

Tensions between Kendrick Lamar and Drake boiled over earlier this year when Lamar threw down the gauntlet with his appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit single “Like That.” The track saw Lamar taking blatant shots at Drake, as well as fellow rap star J. Cole in response to their 2023 collaborative release, “First Person Shooter.”

A flurry of records from both artists dominated the conversation in rap throughout April and May, with Drake unleashing “Push Ups,” “Family Matters,” Taylor Made Freestyle,” and “The Heart Part 6.” In turn, Kendrick clapped back with “Meet The Grahams,” “Euphoria,” and “Not Like Us,” the latter of which topped the Billboard Hot 100, broke numerous streaming records, and led many to deem Lamar the winner of their heated war of words.
