Drake Trolls Kendrick Lamar Over Viral ‘GNX’ Lyric During Twitch Stream
Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar has taken yet another twist, as the Toronto rapper used a Twitch livestream to mock Kendrick’s viral “Mustaaard!” lyric from his latest album, GNX. This playful jab comes amidst escalating tension between the two Hip Hop heavyweights, fueled by diss tracks, social media banter, and even legal disputes.
The Incident: Drake’s Custard Comment
During a livestream by Twitch star LosPollosTV on Tuesday (December 3), Drake took to the comments section to troll Kendrick. As the streamer complained about Kendrick’s single “Squabble Up” playing after Drake’s album Certified Lover Boy on streaming platforms, Drake cheekily commented, “we need a donut emoji in the chat.”
Drake further escalated his antics by parodying Kendrick’s viral “Mustaaard!” line from the track “TV Off” with a sarcastic “CUSTAAAARRRRRD.” This jab at Kendrick’s unique lyrical style quickly caught the attention of fans online.
Fan Reactions: Divided Opinions
While Drake’s antics may have entertained some, they backfired with many fans who criticized his behavior:“Every day Drake shows us exactly how corny he is smh,” wrote one fan on social media. Another commented, “There’s literally no defending him at this point lol he’s legit acting like a manchild.” Others were disappointed in Drake for trolling on Twitch instead of responding to Kendrick in music:
“Same [dude] who was calling other rappers ‘Twitter fingers’ is online yapping instead of making a record.”
“That’s just like Drake. Make another very odd move on the internet.”
A Feud Beyond the Booth
The Drake-Kendrick rivalry has intensified in recent months, spilling over from diss tracks to public appearances and even legal action:
Drake’s Twitch Appearances: In November, Drake appeared on streamer xQc’s Kick channel, where he addressed the feud indirectly. “I’m here — mind, body, and soul fully intact, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out; fairytales won’t do it,” he said, referencing allegations made on Kendrick’s diss tracks.
Legal Battles: Drake filed “pre-action” legal petitions against Universal Music Group (UMG), accusing the label of using bots and payola to boost Kendrick’s diss song “Not Like Us.” He also claimed UMG defamed him by knowingly releasing a track accusing him of being a pedophile. UMG denied the accusations, and Kendrick has yet to comment publicly.
The Kendrick vs. Drake Showdown
The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has become one of the most talked-about rivalries in Hip Hop, marked by direct and indirect jabs. Kendrick’s diss tracks, especially “Not Like Us,” have been widely celebrated, with many fans and critics declaring him the victor in their lyrical face-offs.
Drake, however, has been more defensive, responding through cryptic comments and now Twitch trolling rather than dropping new diss tracks.
What’s Next in the Feud?
As tensions continue to simmer, fans are eager to see if Drake will retaliate with new music or escalate his legal battle with UMG. Meanwhile, Kendrick’s silence suggests he’s content to let his music speak for itself.
For now, the Hip Hop community is left wondering: will this feud culminate in a legendary showdown, or will it remain a mix of lyrical spars and internet antics?
