Drake Drama Unveiled, DJ Backtracks on Kendrick Lamar Ban in Texas Clubs
Drake’s reach in the music world is undeniable, with a particularly strong influence in Texas thanks to his ties with J Prince. So when rumors emerged that Drake and J Prince had banned Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” from Texas clubs, it didn’t seem too far-fetched. The 6 God has a reputation for being petty behind the scenes, and J Prince has been linked to significant beefs, including the Pusha T feud in 2018. However, it turns out this latest rumor was a misunderstanding.
Ari the DJ, who initially sparked the Texas ban rumor, claimed on Twitter that she faced trouble multiple times for playing “Not Like Us.” This claim quickly spread, causing a stir. But Ari took to Instagram to clarify the situation. She posted a screenshot of her original tweet alongside a headline about the alleged ban, explaining that things were misconstrued. “Headlines can be misleading,” she wrote on her IG Story. “Drake nor J Prince never told me to not play the song.” Ari clarified that the orders came from individuals who respected Drake, not Drake or J Prince directly.
“Promoters and people that respect those guys told me not to and it was understood,” she explained. “That’s it, that’s all.” This isn’t the first time Drake has been accused of complicating matters for Kendrick Lamar and his TDE crew. ScHoolboy Q recently suggested Drake’s influence might have led to the cancelation of his concert in Toronto due to ongoing tensions.
While there’s no concrete evidence linking Drake to the concert cancellation, the venue did have connections to the 6 God and Live Nation. Drake has remained silent publicly about the Kendrick Lamar beef, but speculation about new music continues to swirl, fueled by Drake himself. On July 22, he posted a photo wearing a Tupac shirt that read, “Only God Can Judge Me,” suggesting the rivalry might still be alive.
