It’s been a rough last year for rap superstar Drake. He’s been in a public diss feud with Kendrick Lamar, and most think that Kendrick Lamar got the better of him, including at the halftime show of Super Bowl LVI.
Things didn’t get much better for Drake at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. Host Conan O’Brien skewered him, referencing a Kendrick Lamar song that throws some serious accusations at Drake.
Kendrick and Drake have had a little bit of beef for about a decade now, but it really has escalated the last few years. Both artists put out diss tracks towards the other, with Drake accusing Kendrick Lamar of infidelity and domestic abuse, while Kendrick Lamar accused Drake of pursuing young women in ‘Not Like Us’. He played that song at the Super Bowl to huge applause and reactions from social media.
On Sunday, Oscars host Conan O’Brien brought it up once again. Take a look.

The Oscars aren’t watched by as many people as the Super Bowl is. But, it’s watched by roughly 20 million people annually, one of the biggest non-football television audiences of the year.
Will Drake respond to yet another diss? I think anything is on the table.
