Kendrick Lamar‘s feud with Drake was mentioned on WWE Raw’s first episode on Netflix by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods — but not in the Compton rapper’s favor.
Kingston and Woods make up the villainous tag team The New Day, and with the show taking place in Kendrick’s native Los Angeles, they decided to take a shot at the Pulitzer Prize winner on his home turf.
During an interview segment, Woods said: “Think about it: for the last six months, y’all have been elevating this trash rapper Kendrick Lamar,” to incredibly loud boos from the crowd.
Kingston then interjected and said: “Yeah, boo him! We think he sucks, too. Boo him! So you’re not mad at us, you’re mad at Kendrick Lamar because Drake won the beef,” to yet more boos.
This is not the first time that Drake and Kendrick’s feud has crossed over into the world of wrestling.
Last year, the rap titans were invited to settle their differences in the ring by wrestling legend Shawn Michaels.
“A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “@kendricklamar, you and @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate.”
Michaels made the overture after Kendrick namedropped his finishing move, Sweet Chin Music, on his hit diss song “Not Like Us,” rapping: “Sweet Chin Music and I won’t pass the aux, aye.”
While The New Day are attempting to rewrite the outcome of the battle, which many deemed Kendrick to have won, the numbers at the heart of the heated contest don’t lie.
Using data from Luminate, Billboard recently estimated that both rappers’ diss songs have generated almost $15.4 million in streaming, digital sales and publishing revenue in the U.S. since their release last spring.
Kendrick is the clear winner of the two, statistically speaking, with “Not Like Us,” “Like That,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Euphoria” accounting for just over $13.4 million of that figure (almost 87%).
“Not Like Us” is the most profitable of the four, generating roughly $7.6 million, followed by “Like That” — his chart-topping collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that ignited the war — racking up $4.6 million.
Meanwhile, Drake’s two commercially available diss songs, “Family Matters” and “Push Ups,” have generated just $981,300 and $969,400 — totaling a little over $1.9 million.

When fake recognise fake…
I mean…. it’s their jobs to act as the enemy. What better way to be the enemy than to have a wildly unpopular opinion about a local hero in front of thousands of rowdy people? Obviously it’s a b.s. take, but…. that’s kinda the point…
They might as well give Drake & Kendrick a Wrestlemania angle since rap has become the WWE anyway.
