Drake has been relatively silent on social media throughout his recent beef with Kendrick Lamar. While the battle has seemingly slowed down with the “Not Like Us” video serving as a final blow for now, fans remain interested in what’s next from the rap star.
“‘Drake, here’s how they gone come at you… wit silly rap feuds tryna distract you’-Hov,” Hitman Holla commented. “No beats to drop, no lines to pen, just peaceful silence and his bed,” someone else remarked. “Generations to come will witness greatness by a legend that will never die,” another user said.
Over on X, users were debating the shirt’s meaning as if the rapper had personally made it. “‘Rap is a joke’ shirt. What a clown. Sore loser mentality. His true colors starting to show. He never respected rap; he was just a culture vulture,” a fan stated.
“Kendrick made this entire battle about culture only for his fans to disregard it completely. Drake is paying homage to battle rap here, a reference Kdot himself would’ve caught. Whatever pushes the agenda, though,” someone responded.
The shirt was revealed to be a piece of merch from a recent collection by L-Money and Frank Stacks’ group, Rap Is A Joke. The California parody rappers are known for poking fun at the hypocrisies of the music industry. Always the strategist, Drake usually has a track up his sleeve. Although he has teased new music recently, there is no timetable for any releases.
