Drake continues to fuel speculation that a rap battle with Kendrick Lamar (and other artists) may soon ensue. First, last Friday (August 23), the Canadian star released several new songs on his secondary Instagram account, the highly-anticipated plottttwisttttt, all of which were quickly posted to his “100 gigs” website. In the song “No Face,” featuring Playboi Carti, Drake raps about how happy he is that “all the people who’ve been holding back from being jealous are finally getting to show it.” Another track is titled “Circadian Rhythm,” which many speculate is a reference to Lamar’s lyrics in “6:16 in LA.”

As reported by multiple outlets, including HipHopDX, Drake added to those words by sharing a cryptic video on the aforementioned Instagram burner account on Sunday (August 25). The short clip was taken from an interview with then-Detroit Pistons talent Rasheed Wallace, whose team lost to the Indiana Pacers in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals. “You can put it on the front page, the back page, the inside page, anywhere, headline, column one, column two, we’re going to win Game 2,” the former NBA great proclaimed. It’s worth noting that Wallace’s bold prediction turned out to be correct.

It didn’t take long for Twitter users to weigh in on the since-deleted post. “Drake, that was the Super Bowl of rap beefs. There will be no Game 2,” Keegan59992745 opined. NakilW wrote, “Pusha T has turned Drake into an evil mad genius. He’s treating this fight with Kendrick in phases, not rounds.” Meanwhile, other users, such as journalist Thomas Hobbs, tweeted about Drake’s latest single line, admitting, “I honestly can’t name a single one of them.” “This is uncharted territory,” Hobbs added.
Here are some thoughts from other Twitter users: It remains to be seen whether Drake and Lamar’s high-profile feud will officially be reignited.
