The tension between Kendrick and Drake seemed to ignite in 2013 after Kendrick threw down the gauntlet on his track Control, which left Drake feeling slighted by one particular verse.
Kendrick Lamar and Drake's bitter decade-long feud ahead of Super Bowl halftime 2025 show Rapper Kendrick Lamar will take to the stage in a few hours time as he provides the halftime entertainment at this year's Super Bowl.
Speaking about his performance earlier this week, Kendrick said his set will be about "storytelling" and will "make people listen" but opted not to reveal if he plans to play Not Like Us - the Grammy Award winning diss track about his long-time rival Drake.
Then, during the BET Awards, Kendrick jabbed back with a subtle diss towards Drake, playing off the title of his album Nothing Was The Same: "Yeah and nothing's been the same since they dropped Control, And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pyjama clothes," he spit audaciously.
Kendrick took the feud to a new level last year when he launched another scathing attack on Drake in his diss track in May, accusing the rapper of "liking 'em young".
