After a month-long hiatus in the heated exchange between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, it seems Drake has taken a step towards quelling the tension. On Wednesday, June 5, fans observed that Drake had quietly removed all diss tracks aimed at Kendrick from his Instagram. The decision came after an intense back-and-forth, including Drake’s release of “The Heart Part 6,” a nod to Kendrick’s famed freestyle series, and Kendrick’s record-breaking track “Not Like Us,” which had the internet hailing him as the victor. In his latest Instagram post, Drake shared photos from his Toronto mansion with a cryptic caption, “The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer,” hinting at a shift in focus towards more positive vibes for the summer.
The timing of Drake’s social media cleanup coincides with Kendrick Lamar’s announcement of his upcoming Ken & Friends pop-up show in Los Angeles, scheduled for Juneteenth in collaboration with pgLang and Free Lunch. This has left fans speculating whether Drake’s actions are part of a larger PR strategy or a subtle admission of defeat. While the future of the beef remains uncertain, the anticipation builds as both artists continue to keep their next moves under wraps. Fans will have to stay tuned to see if Kendrick’s performance will reignite the feud or mark a new chapter for both rap titans.
