The ongoing clash between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has captivated global audiences, with its intricacies and layers adding depth to the conflict. Despite a perceived de-escalation, the tracks stemming from this rivalry remain central. Kendrick’s disses directed to Drake has left an incredible mark in the beef for his use of entendres, his head-bopping production, and just how beautifully powerful his verses were. And the certified hip-hop legend threw in another ‘bar’ on his foe.

Lamar set the stage ablaze at his "Pop Out" concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. He kicked off the event with the Drake diss "Euphoria," debuting a fresh verse:

“Give me Tupac’s ring back and I might give you a little respect.”

This line references a ring once owned by Tupac Shakur, acquired at auction by an anonymous buyer later revealed to be Drake. This new verse adds another layer to the fierce lyrical exchanges between these two rap titans, a battle widely seen as dominated by Lamar (it was more of a one-sided massacre). The feud reached a turning point when intruders attempted to break into Drake's Toronto residence, signaling a cooling off, though it may not be over yet.

The concert, named “The Pop Out — Ken and Friends,” draws its title from another track in the feud, Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” In this song, Lamar raps, "Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n—s / Certified boogeyman, I’m the one that up the score with ’em," a clear jab at Drake. Released a month ago, "Not Like Us" has soared to the top of the charts, becoming arguably the most successful track in the Drake-Lamar saga.

Throughout their feud, the rappers attacked each other's appearances, lobbed accusations of pedophilia and domestic violence, and even claimed secret children. The conflict seemingly culminated with Drake's "The Heart Part 6," a nod to Lamar’s iconic song series. This track hinted at Drake's fatigue with their ongoing rivalry, suggesting that he was ready to move on.
