What Drake Is Up to After Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Diss

Drake is clearly unfazed by Kendrick Lamar’s recent diss during the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show on February 9, 2025. While Kendrick took multiple jabs at Drake, including a reference to his controversial lyrics and bringing out Serena Williams as a surprise guest, Drake proved that he isn’t losing any sleep over the rivalry.

Drake’s Concert in Melbourne

While Kendrick was busy making headlines during the Super Bowl halftime show, Drake was doing what he does best—performing live. On the same day, Drake was in Melbourne, Australia, entertaining his fans as part of his Anita Max Win Tour. With the Philadelphia Eagles defeating the Kansas City Chiefs and a spotlight on the halftime performance, Drake continued to focus on his craft, showing the world that he’s not letting the diss phase him.

His Social Media Reaction

The following day, Drake took to his social media to share a clip from his concert, showing a sea of fans moshing and fire streaming overhead. He also posted footage from an after-party where people were vibing to Oasis’ “Wonderwall” under purple lights, reinforcing his unbothered attitude.

This response is a clear statement that Drake isn’t letting the drama affect his focus or his mood. Rather than getting involved in the back-and-forth, he’s letting his success do the talking.

Kendrick Lamar’s Diss: The Details

During Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated Super Bowl Halftime performance, he threw some subtle shots at Drake. One of the most noticeable moments came when Kendrick wore a diamond-encrusted “A” necklace, a reference to his 2023 hit song “Not Like Us” in which he calls out Drake with the lyrics: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young” and “tryna strike a chord, and it’s probably A minor.”

Kendrick didn’t stop there. As part of his performance, he also brought out Serena Williams as a surprise guest, further stirring the pot since Serena and Drake had previously been linked romantically in 2015. Williams herself seemed to embrace the attention, posting after the show, “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime, I died a little!”

The Role of Serena Williams

Serena Williams, a long-time friend of both Kendrick and Drake, made her stance clear regarding the ongoing feud. At the 2024 ESPY Awards, she advised against anyone picking a fight with Kendrick, saying, “None of us, not a single one of us, not even me, should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar.” Her comment about Drake attending a Raptors game in the future shows just how seriously she believes Kendrick’s power in the hip-hop world.

Other Notable Appearances at Kendrick’s Halftime Show

Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance also featured SZA, a long-time collaborator, as well as Samuel L. Jackson, who acted as the humorous “Uncle Sam” throughout the performance. These star-studded guest appearances only added to the buzz surrounding Kendrick’s show.

Drake Moves Forward

Despite the drama surrounding his name, Drake is continuing to dominate the music scene and keep his focus on his tour and future projects. His ability to remain calm amidst the tension speaks volumes about his resilience and the respect he commands in the industry.

In the world of rap rivalries, it’s clear that Drake is taking the high road—putting his energy into his performances, his music, and his fans. The question now is, what will Kendrick Lamar’s next move be?
