Drake not too long ago took one other L in his conflict with Kendrick Lamar after his foe introduced he’d been tapped to carry out on the upcoming Tremendous Bowl, and an NFL supply has pushed again towards a podcaster who claims Drizzy has declined the possibility to do the identical previously.
By now, I really feel like most individuals are accustomed to the meat between Drake and Kendrick Lamar that escalated earlier this 12 months earlier than the latter introduced it to a decisive finish by dropping the kill shot that was “Not Like Us.”
The rapper on the receiving finish of probably the most brutal (and catchy) diss tracks in hip-hop historical past finally waved the white flag earlier than Ok. Dot took a victory lap by enjoying it 5 instances in a row at a live performance he threw in Compton in June.
2024 was already The 12 months of Kendrick, however final weekend, we discovered his 2025 can even get off to a reasonably stable begin when the rapper introduced he’ll be the headliner on the halftime present at Tremendous Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February ninth.
It’s laborious to think about Drake was thrilled to listen to about that improvement, however after the information broke, Jamil “Mal” Clay (a longtime Drizzy loyalist) asserted the Toronto native had beforehand and repeatedly turned down the chance to take the stage at The Huge Recreation, saying, “Drake has been supplied this Tremendous Bowl present for some years now and has turned it down. In all probability 4 years.”
Clay declined to say the place he’d discovered that tidbit of knowledge, though it’s secure to imagine it got here instantly from Drake’s camp primarily based on his relationship with the rapper.
Nonetheless, an unnamed NFL supply who spoke to Bloomberg asserted that declare was a “blatant lie” whereas telling the outlet Drake has not obtained an official invite because the league employed Jay-Z’s Roc Nation to supply the halftime present in 2019.
At first look, Drake can be a reasonably pure match for the occasion given his standing as a global celebrity with a formidable catalog of No. 1 hits, so it’s form of stunning to listen to he’s by no means even been a severe candidate.
