Drake‘s recent legal action against Universal Music Group may have further harmed his reputation following his widely perceived defeat to Kendrick Lamar, but that isn’t stopping him from taking more potshots at his fierce rival.
The 6 God was tuning into Twitch star LosPollosTV‘s livestream on Tuesday (December 3) when he trolled Kendrick by putting his own spin on a fan-favorite line from his latest album GNX.

As LosPollosTV was complaining about how streaming services allegedly play Kendrick’s chart-topping single “Squabble Up” after Drake’s album Certified Lover Boy, the Toronto rapper jumped into the comments section and wrote: “we need a donut emoji in the chat.”
He then mocked Kendrick’s viral “Mustaaard!” line from “TV Off” by writing: “CUSTAAAARRRRRD.”
Drake’s attempt at humor backfired, though, as he was roundly ridiculed by fans on social media.
“Every day Drake shows us exactly how corny he is smh,” one critic wrote, while another said: “There’s literally no defending him at this point lol he’s legit acting like a manchild.”

Others were dismayed by Drizzy trolling Kendrick on Twitch streams instead of responding to him in the booth.
“Same [dude] who was calling other rappers ‘twitter fingers’ is online yapping instead of making a record,” one observed, while someone else commented: “That’s just like Drake. Make another very odd move on the internet.”

This is just the latest non-lyrical jab that Drake has thrown since he was deemed to have lost to Kendrick in their diss song showdown.
Last month, the OVO Sound boss appeared on Canadian streamer xQc’s Kick channel and defiantly declared: “I’m here — mind, body and soul fully intact, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out; fairytales won’t do it,” alluding to the wild allegations on K.Dot’s various diss tracks.
In perhaps the most controversial (and unprecedented) move so far, Drake brought the ongoing beef into courtroom when he filed two “pre-action” legal petitions against UMG, the parent company of both his label Republic and Kendrick Lamar’s longtime home of Interscope.
In them, Drizzy accuses the music giant of using streaming bots and payola to artificially boost the popularity of Kendrick’s hit diss song “Not Like Us,” causing him to suffer “economic harm.”

He also claims that UMG defamed him by knowingly releasing a song that accuses him of being a pedophile.
UMG has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, while Kendrick — who is not actually named as a respondent in the filings — has yet to comment.

It’s currently unclear if Drake plans to pursue a lawsuit against UMG and any other parties over the alleged conspiracy.
