Megan Thee Stallion Sparks Drama with Kendrick Lamar Cover at L.A. Concert

Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Hot Girl Summer” tour has been packed with unforgettable moments, but it’s also managed to steer clear of major drama with other artists—until now. The Houston rap queen added a touch of controversy during her Los Angeles show on Friday (June 21) by performing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” subtly weighing in on the ongoing beef between Kendrick and Drake. Though it was just a brief rendition of the chorus accompanied by a playful dance, it made a significant statement.

Fans didn’t need Megan to declare Kendrick the winner in his feud with Drake—K.Dot’s triumphant “The Pop Out” show in L.A. on Juneteenth did that already. However, given Kendrick’s lyrical nods to Megan on “family ties” and her rocky history with Drake, her performance felt inevitable. For those out of the loop, tensions between Megan and Drake flared when he referenced a woman “lying about getting shots, but she’s still a stallion” on his 2022 album Her Loss. Megan perceived this as a direct jab, fueling the feud.

Adding to the drama, Megan’s beef with Nicki Minaj has also been heating up. Some speculate that her perceived disses toward Nicki were actually aimed at Drake. Whether these major rap battles will escalate or fade remains to be seen. Kendrick Lamar and his camp might move on, or Young Money could reignite the feud. Either way, it’s bound to be anything but a smooth resolution.

Drake and Camila Cabello’s Chemistry Shines in New Collabs

Drake has a knack for creating memorable duets with female artists, and his latest tracks with Camila Cabello, “Hot Uptown” and “UUUGLY,” are no exception. Their synergy is particularly evident in “Hot Uptown,” with Cabello previously praising Drake’s artistry and warm presence in the studio. On June 28, Drake reciprocated the admiration with a heartfelt Instagram post.

The post featured photos from their “vacation,” during which they recorded “Hot Uptown.” One photo showed them at a table, and another captured them on jet skis. Drake captioned it, “Thanks for the link up @camila_cabello. Congrats.” These collaborations mark a high point for Drake, especially after facing challenges following his battle with Kendrick Lamar.

In an interview with The Times, Cabello expressed her support for Drake, lamenting the negativity surrounding him after the release of “Not Like Us.” She hopes for a resolution between Drake and Lamar, saying, “If only you guys could just have dinner or something.”

Cabello’s passion for hip-hop drove her to collaborate with Drake, as she wanted to explore this genre more deeply on her new album. The partnership has clearly been fruitful, and fans can only hope for more hits from the duo in the future.
