Fan Frenzy, Drake Devotee Ditches Tattoo for Kendrick Lamar Tribute
The ongoing rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken an unexpected turn, with one former Drake fan switching allegiances in a bold and permanent way. The drama began with a series of musical exchanges, including Drake’s response track “Push Ups” following Lamar’s fiery verse on “Like That.” Initially, many believed Drake had the upper hand. However, as the battle raged on, the tide seemed to turn in Lamar’s favor.
The release of Lamar’s music video “Not Like Us” has been a game-changer. The highly anticipated video, filled with layers and callbacks to previous Drake references, has garnered over 26.1 million views. Among the viewers was a dedicated Drake fan who decided to make a drastic change, covering up his “In My Feelings” tattoo with a portrait of Kendrick Lamar.
In the viral clip, the fan reveals his new tattoo, featuring Kendrick in a diamond crown of thorns with the words “BBL Drizzy” beneath it. While the new ink is undoubtedly an upgrade from the previous one, the fan has faced intense backlash online. Social media users have labeled him a “glazer” and a “d**k rider,” criticizing his decision to tattoo another man’s face on his body.
This shift in loyalty raises questions about the nature of fandom. Is this fan’s move an extreme display of admiration, or simply taking things too far? The fan’s reasons remain unclear, but it might involve a lost bet. Despite the criticism, this act is seen as another victory for Kendrick Lamar in the ongoing feud.
What do you think of this tattoo transformation? Is it a testament to Kendrick Lamar’s influence, or an over-the-top gesture of fandom? Share your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to check out the “Not Like Us” music video if you haven’t already. Stay tuned to Honk Magazine for the latest updates on Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and the music world.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
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.
