Drake’s second diss track used artificial intelligence technology to include verses from Tupac and Snoop Dogg, two of Lamar’s influences. In his own verse, Drake accuses Lamar of delaying his response track because of the imminent release of Taylor Swift ‘s “The Tortured Poets Department.” (Lamar collaborated with Swift on “Bad Blood.”)

While NFL typically avoids political statements during Super Bowl halftime shows, Sunday’s Eagles-Chiefs matchup in New Orleans will feature the world’s most famous guest — Taylor Swift notwithstanding — and one of the most politically charged rap voices.

Drake's concert came only two days after Lamar, 37, took home five gramophones, including song of the year and record of the year, at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Feb. 2. Though Drake has not addressed the wins directly, his dad Dennis Graham offered his take during a man on the street interview which was seemingly filmed after the Grammys.
