Drake Throws Shade at Kendrick Lamar While on xQc Kick Stream

Key Takeaways

  • Drake threw a subtle jab at Kendrick Lamar during xQc’s stream on Kick.
  • Drake implied Kendrick’s claims were “fairy tales,” reigniting their feud.
  • Fans debate whether Drake’s approach in addressing the feud was clever or underwhelming.

As a seasoned gamer and hip-hop enthusiast who has witnessed countless feuds and collaborations within the rap industry, I must say that Drake’s latest move during his stream with xQc on Kick has added yet another layer to the already intriguing saga between him and Kendrick Lamar.


Prior to unveiling his Australia tour plans, Drake employed xQc’s live broadcast on Twitch (Kick) to deliver veiled criticisms towards Kendrick Lamar. For years, these two rappers have been engaged in a feud, but their rivalry escalated in 2024 following J. Cole’s mention of Kendrick in a song alongside Drake. The height of this dispute occurred in May when Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us,” a track directed at Drake, with no immediate musical retort from the latter. Now, Drake has publicly commented on the situation through a Twitch stream, and fans are discussing whether his response was clever or lackluster.

xQc has previously streamed with popular hip-hop artists like Soulja Boy (as seen in a 2020 stream where they played Among Us together). But since then, xQc’s star power has grown significantly, leading to him collaborating with megastar Drake during a November 24th stream. This extended session of approximately two and a half hours attracted attention not only for the collaboration but also due to Drake’s contentious introduction, which appeared to touch on his ongoing dispute with Kendrick Lamar.

In the initial stages of their livestream, Drake made a statement to xQc that implied his claims against Kendrick Lamar are false or exaggerated. This remark was seen as a dig at Kendrick by those following their ongoing dispute. Interestingly, xQc seemed oblivious to the feud and avoided questions regarding it. The controversy deepened when xQc played a song from The Weeknd, an artist with a rivalry with Drake, causing Drake to ask him to skip it. As a consequence, xQc has been drawn into another debate, despite apparently not knowing about the underlying issues.

Drake Implies Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” Was a Fairy Tale

The recent comment Drake made about xQc on his stream has generated even more discussion, particularly following Kendrick Lamar’s unexpected album release, titled GNX, only two days prior on November 22. This has ignited a wave of online debates, with some critics criticizing Drake for dealing with the feud via livestream instead of music, labeling him as “lazy” or “weak”. Many believe that Kendrick’s approach appears more effective in this hip-hop dispute, leaving Drake appearing less dominant. Kendrick has received acclaim for his artistic response to the situation, and his album is currently doing well on the charts. Furthermore, there are rumors circulating about an upcoming comedy film from Kendrick Lamar and the creators of South Park, with some suggesting a release date in July 2025.

Absolutely, they’re simply expressing one point of view. The enthusiasts of Drake and xQc are overjoyed to see them having fun together, despite the issues in their personal lives that have arisen. On the corporate side, Kick seems content with this collaboration. Drake’s guest spot on Ninja’s stream back in 2018 broke streaming records, so it’s reasonable to assume that Kick is optimistic that this partnership will help elevate its platform as it fights to stay competitive against Twitch in a tough market.
