Drake is reportedly seeking to “restrict” Kendrick Lamar’s SuperBowl halftime performance, according to claims made by Wack 100. According to HipHopDX, Drake’s contentious manager alleged during a weekend livestream that the artist has been employing legal measures to influence Lamar’s much-anticipated appearance at next year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans. Wack stated, “He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick.” Additionally, he stated that Drake filed a cease and desist order towards Kendrick, intending to restrict his diss track, “Not Like Us,” from being performed.

The specifics of how or why Drake could potentially prevent Kendrick from performing remain unclear, especially since the Compton rapper has already performed the song publicly and it is readily accessible on streaming platforms. Wack did not provide the source of his information, but he did mention that Jay-Z, who plays a significant role in planning the halftime show, would not allow Kendrick to be subject to limitations by either the NFL or Drake. Kendrick was announced as the Super Bowl halftime show act earlier this month.

The rap beef continues?

During the announcement, Kendrick Lamar, standing before an American flag on a football field and throwing passes to an unseen receiver, left many speculating that he was once again targeting subtle jabs with Drake. He said, “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.” He continued, “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship; no round twos.” The “no round twos” line appeared to reference a Rasheed Wallace interview clip Drake once shared, where the former Pistons star vowed a game-two win in the 2004 NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers.
