Drake Sparks Outrage with ‘Rap Is a Joke’ Shirt Amid Kendrick Lamar Feud Fallout

Drake

Drake is facing intense backlash after posting a controversial photo on Instagram wearing a shirt that reads “Rap is a joke.” In the post, he vented about the immense pressure he faces at the top, writing, “The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop.” The timing of the post raised eyebrows, especially considering his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar.

The post quickly made its way to X (formerly Twitter), where hip-hop fans expressed their displeasure. “I bet rap is sure a joke Aubrey when you’re losing your rap battles lol,” one user commented. Another chimed in, “He lost so of course he would think this. A sore loser just like Nicki Minaj. The whole young money team tanked.”

However, not all the feedback was negative. Some fans offered support for the rapper. “Life is like the stock market, we all have ups and downs. Just enjoy the highs and learn from the lows,” one user wrote. Another added, “Diamonds withstand pressure. God has you.. lay all them burdens down and enjoy your hard work and success!”

Many hip-hop enthusiasts believe Kendrick Lamar got the best of Drake in their feud, especially after the release of Lamar’s hit song “Not Like Us” earlier this year. Kendrick cemented his victory by hosting The Pop Out – Ken & Friends in Los Angeles, where he performed the diss track multiple times.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
