Drake enjoys the feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The 6 God continued to troll his rival on social media with a film reference after Kung Fu Kenny released his diss track “Euphoria.” As the clock began to count down for his response, Drake shared a clip on his Instagram account from the 1999 classic rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You.
The clip stars actress Julia Stiles reciting a poem about everything she hates about her love interest, the late Heath Ledger. Every line in the poem begins with “I hate…”
Julia Stiles has not yet commented on the clip or the attention her name is receiving in hip-hop.
The diss references Kendrick’s verse, mocking everything he hates about Drake. On Euphoria, Kendrick raps, “I’m the biggest hater / I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress / I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct.”
On Euphoria, Kendrick attacked Drake as a father, recording artist, rival, and more. The six-minute diss begins with a film reference from The Wiz that characterizes a fraud. The 1978 classic film The Wiz features Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow. Drake often draws inspiration from the King of Pop in his music.
Drake and Kendrick have been involved in a cold war for years. It reached the surface last month on the Metro Boomin’, Future, and Kendrick Lamar hit song, “Like That,” where Lamar erased the big 3 references and claimed himself as the King of Hip-Hop.
Drake responded to a group of artists, including Kendrick Lamar, on the diss track “Push Ups.” The track debuted at #2 on Billboard this week.
A response to “Euphoria” is on the way. Rick Ross shared a video after Kendrick’s diss, refraining from Drake from responding.
