Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been invited to settle their beef in the ring by WWE legend Shawn Michaels.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday (May 6), Michaels formally proposed the two rap stars jump in a wrestling ring on WWE television after he heard Kendrick’s latest diss song “Not Like Us.”

“A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way,” he wrote. “@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 the song, rapping: “Sweet Chin Music and I won’t pass the aux, aye.”

One savvy fan also created avatars of Kendrick, Drake and J. Cole in WWE 2K24 to tell the story of the feud so far.

This is the latest twist in the gripping feud between the two Hip Hop heavyweights, which has exploded in recent weeks with a flurry of diss songs from both sides.

Following the latest round of lyrical blows, many have Kendrick winning the battle so far.

“It seemed like whatever he started out doing, he picked up the speed — pause — and really did what he was supposed to do,” Ma$e said on his sports show It Is What It Is following the release of Kendrick’s aforementioned “Not Like Us.” “That was crazy. When I heard that, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s gonna be tough.’ That was the one I was expecting.”

His co-host Cam’ron concurred, praising “Not Like Us” for its “upbeat” sound which has allowed K. Dot to compete with Drake in the club.

The Dipset legend was also critical of the 6 God’s response record, “The Heart Part 6,” saying it sounded like “Drake don’t wanna battle no more.”

Chewing over the beef on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God also gave the victory to Kendrick Lamar while describing the battle as Hip Hop’s greatest ever.

“I believe Kendrick is up because of strategy. I mean musically, man, I don’t think either one of these brothers [have] missed a beat,” he said.

“I’m born in 1978; I’ll be 46 next month. This, to me, has been the best rap battle I’ve ever witnessed. I mean, the two best of their generation, in their prime — I’ve never seen a rap battle give us this much music.”
