Drake may be several thousand miles away in Australia and on a completely different time zone, but that couldn’t stop him avoiding Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show.
In a video that has emerged online, the 6 God’s entourage can be seen watching Kendrick’s performance on a widescreen TV in what looks like a hotel lobby.
In the brief clip, OVO Chubbs and Canadian rapper Preme can be seen tuning in to the performance, which is ironic considering the Compton native used the Super Bowl to take more shots at Drake.
For his part, Drizzy has not yet commented on Kendrick’s halftime show, although he did perform at a concert in Melbourne on Monday (February 10) where he issued another defiant statement, despite his widely perceived defeat to the GNX MC.
While performing “Knife Talk,” he rapped: “Beef is live, spoiler alert: I never died,” instead of the original lyrics which go: “Beef is live, spoiler alert, this n-gga dies.”

During his electrifying performance at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday night (February 9), Kendrick Lamar repeatedly referenced his bitter feud with Drake which boiled over last summer.
Roughly halfway through his set, the Compton rap star taunted his archrival by saying in a back-and-forth with female backup dancers: “I want to perform their favorite song… but you know they love to sue,” a clear nod to Drake’s controversial defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over “Not Like Us.”
During the actual performance of the track — the penultimate song in his set — Kendrick self-censored the “certified pedophile” line but smirked to the camera as he rapped: “Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any [bitch] that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him.”
He also performed the lyrics: “Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor,” with enthusiastic help from the capacity crowd.
The halftime show also included a surprise cameo from Drake’s ex-girlfriend and Compton native Serena Williams, who could be seen Crip Walking on an elevated stage as “Not Like Us” transitioned into the closing track, “TV Off.”
Another apparent dig at Drake came at the very end when the crowd lit up to display the words “Game Over,” which continued the video game theme of the performance.
They should turn the tv off 😉
YoungBoy better anyway
Kendrick done the show was trash and Drake will end everyone with this lawsuit!!! LeBron, TDE, SZA, Kai Cenat, Jay Z, Beyonce, the Grammys, NFL, UMG, Apple, YouTube, Twitch, they’re all going down!!!!! Drake FTW!!!!
OvO – rubs one out while looking at his Drake poster.
I tickle my balls every time I hear a Drake song
🦉eats 🥜s
Drake better that’s why. Kendrick is done he has no career after this and the NFL is done too. All these people are done. Drake will win the lawsuit and go independent or partner with gamma.
Give it a rest Ovo, drake isn’t going to fvck you. You’re far too old and overweight for him
Lol at Drake. Another L
In an effort to get revenge on Kendrick, Drake is currently trying to get the NFL to let him be a cheerleader at next year’s Superbowl
Drake groupies are on their periods again. Take some Midol for those bitchstral cramps.
OvHoes are always in their feelings. So sad, so gay.
they have to try to kill each other for this beef to gain any credible traction getting old getting soft oh diddy is in jail a fellow pedophile from the looks of things but drake going to the booty house in canada probably but no police no investigation no victims no pedophiles being uncovered supposedly fucking children in the bedrooms of one of his expensive and spacious mansions……………
We in the LBGTQIA Community stand with Drake
This ain’t some betrayal that you think it is. Drake himself watched the show and saw how badly kendrick fucked it up
Ovo – crying while making lame excuses
