Beef of the decade

The song that plays right as the clip ends is Not Like Us by the talented lyricist, and it comes from a rap beef the artist got into in the second quarter of 2024. Drake taunted Kendrick Lamar into a beef that resulted in them going back and forth between each other. The conflict took a darker turn once Kendrick released Meet the Grahams resulting in netizens feeling odd about it.
