Kofi Kingston shifted the boos towards Lamar: “Yeah, boo him! We think he’s awful too,” he yelled into the microphone. “Boo him!” Kingston then went on to rub salt in the wound, stating that Drake actually won the battle in 2024. “You’re not mad at us,” he emphasized. “You’re mad at Kendrick Lamar because Drake won the battle.” These inflammatory remarks from Kingston only intensified the boos from the audience. The New Day clearly knows how to attract attention.
