During Tuesday night’s episode, the 50-year-old host asked contestants Isaac Hirsch, Erika Stromerson, and Jay Fisher a question about the rappers’ infamous beef from the category titled, Diss-Track-Tions.
Ken said: ‘In May 2024, these two competitors went back and forth with tracks like Family Matters and Meet The Grahams.’
Nine-day reigning champion Isaac correctly buzzed in with Drake, 37, and Kendrick’s names and was awarded $800, as viewers were left in hysterics that the hip-hop powerhouses were referenced on the beloved gameshow.
On Instagram, one laughed: ‘Drake getting cooked by Jeopardy?!?!?’

The clue tickled viewers at home who cheekily quipped that Drake ‘can’t catch a break’
Another joked: ‘The boogeyman is everywhere… Drake can’t catch a break.’
A third enthused: ‘Jeopardy’s hip-hop clues are some of the best we’ve had in years.’
‘Obviously you can’t have a diss track category without mentioning Drake and Kendrick,’ a fourth said.
Over on X, another added: ‘Not Kendrick and Drake’s beef becoming a Jeopardy clue!’
A second said: ‘Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s beef being a question on Jeopardy just tickled me.’
Drake and Kendrick, also 37, two of the world’s biggest hip-hop voices, have been embroiled in a furious rivalry for years.
Since things turned sour, they have continued to release numerous back-and-forth diss tracks about each other.
Their explosive feud was reignited in October of last year when Drake and J. Cole released their song First Person Shooter referring to themselves and Kendrick as ‘the big three.’

Jeopardy! viewers were entertained by Ken’s question and declared it ‘the best in years’
Kendrick seemingly took issue with this, which he expressed in an uncredited verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s track Like That, which dropped on March 26.
On the song, he threw multiple lyrical jabs at both Drake and J Cole, furiously rapping the stand out line: ‘Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me.’
In April, Drake released Kendrick diss track Push Ups, taking aim at the rapper’s small feet in the track’s promo art, which featured only a size 7 shoe tag.
He also hit out with Taylor Made Freestyle, where he used the AI-generated voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg, two of Kendrick’s idols, to go after him.
However, it resulted in a cease and desist from Tupac’s estate.
At the end of the month Kendrick responded with Euphoria – a six-minute-long diss track, taking shots at his rival.
The feud entered new territory in May, when Kendrick released 6:16 in LA, which is a parody of the Canadian musician’s famous timestamp songs such as 4 PM in Calabasas, which he released in 2013, and his song from last year, 8 AM in Charlotte.
Drake continued the ongoing beef by releasing a diss track called Family Matters – responding to Euphoria and 6:16 in LA.
Mere minutes after Drake released his song, Kendrick fired back with Meet the Grahams, his third diss in a week.
On his quick-witted rebuttal, Kendrick suggested that the rapper has a secret daughter.
Days later, he made serious accusations about Drake on the track Not Like Us.
In the song, the Compton-born rapper appeared to accuse Drake of being a pedophile, along with another member of his crew.
It was released on YouTube with what appeared to be a graphic of Drake’s home covered with red sex offender symbols.
In the lyrics, the Pulitzer Prize winner hit out at the hitmaker and members of his October’s Very Own (OVO) crew.
‘Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young,’ Kendrick raps, encouraging others to ‘hide your little sister from him.’
