Drake’s team has refuted claims that he sent a cease and desist letter to Kendrick Lamar to prevent him from performing his hit diss track, “Not Like Us,” during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Despite rumors circulating that Drake wanted to block Lamar’s performance, a source close to the situation confirmed that there was never any intention of sending such a letter.
The speculation began when Wack 100, a music manager, made the allegations in an interview, suggesting that Drake was trying to get the NFL to restrict Lamar’s performance. However, the claims were quickly shut down by a music insider who dismissed the rumors as false.
The ongoing rap beef between Drake and Lamar started earlier in the year and escalated with the release of diss tracks from both artists. However, despite the heated exchanges in their music, the idea that Drake would go as far as sending a cease and desist letter to block Lamar’s Super Bowl performance seems to be unfounded.
As the controversy continues to swirl around the two rappers, fans eagerly anticipate Lamar’s halftime show at Super Bowl LIX, set to take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025. The success of Lamar’s track, “Not Like Us,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, has only added fuel to the fire of their ongoing feud.
Despite the drama and speculation, both Drake and Lamar have denied certain allegations made against them in their diss tracks, highlighting the complex and often contentious nature of the rap industry. While fans may be divided on which artist they support, one thing is clear – the anticipation for Lamar’s Super Bowl performance continues to grow as the event draws near.
