Drake’s Post About Winning “Game 2” Leaves Fans Believing He’ll Reignite Kendrick Lamar Beef

People have spent the last few months clowning Drake after his loss to Kendrick Lamar in their rap battle this year, but it seems like he isn’t done. The 37-year-old rapper made a cryptic post about winning “game two” this weekend, leading many to people he was looking to reignite the beef.

The Toronto superstar got active on his plotttttwistttttt Instagram account this past weekend after sharing three new songs “Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2),” a new version of “SOD” without Lil Yachty,” and “No Face” featuring Playboi Carti, on top of more unreleased footage added to his 100gigs website. He continued to dump a bunch of content on his Instagram story, but one post in particular caught people’s attention.

In the video, former NBA player Rasheed Wallace speaks to the media about how his Detroit Pistons team would win game two of their 2004 Eastern Conference Finals series against the Indiana Pacers. “Y’all put it in the front page, back page, middle of the page, wherever,” Wallace said. “Headliners, column one or two, we will win game two. We will win game two.” He kept his promise, as they defeated the Pacers 72-67 and won the series in six games en route to defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.

Notably, Drake deleted the Instagram story just hours after it was initially posted, but the damage was already done. Fans interpreted the Rasheed Wallace video and the energy in his new batch of records as him sending out a warning shot to his enemies.

In the recent three-pack of songs, he had many bars addressing those he feuded with in 2024. “Ni**as got lit off the features I skated on/ I gotta know, I gotta know, how you get lit off the ni**a you hatin’ on?/ Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong/ This is the moment I know they been prayin’ on,” he rapped on “No Face.”

On “Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2),” he rapped about still being No. 1 in Hip-Hop and likened it to his bad sleeping patterns. He also claimed that he was writing people’s names on a list and that he dodged several funeral plans, which was seemingly symbolic for people trying to end his run at the top. The 6 God has rarely been one to let things go, especially when he has been on the losing end of rap beef, so this is all par for the course.

After Drake defeated Meek Mill in 2015, he fired more shots at him on “Summer Sixteen,” his 2016 album Views, and his 2017 “playlist” More Life. When he lost to Pusha T in 2018, he sent more subliminal disses his and Kanye West’s way on 2020’s “Life Is Good,” “Laugh Now Cry Later” featuring Lil Durk, and more tracks. Thus, it is fair to say that fans ought to buckle up and prepare for more disses toward Kendrick Lamar. However, some believe it is a bad idea.

“Do we all agree a ‘game 2’ in the Kendrick vs Drake beef is genuinely pointless,” one fan asked. “Drake lost in Game 3 when Family Matters got trumped by Meet the Grahams in an hour lmao,” another fan said. “Drake, that was the superbowl of rap beef. There is no game two,” another fan wrote.
