🚨 “They’re NOT Like Us!” Kendrick HUMILIATES Drake on LIVE TV 📺 – Drake’s MELTDOWN Ends in Lawsuit 💼

Silence is key': after Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl, how can Drake possibly  come back? | Drake | The Guardian

It was supposed to be a celebration.

It ended in devastation.

The Super Bowl halftime show—the most watched 15 minutes in entertainment—turned into a live burial for Drake’s career, orchestrated with deadly precision by none other than Kendrick Lamar.

He didn’t just perform.

He executed.

And Drake? Drake cried.

Then sued.

Then blamed everyone but himself.

And now, he’s waging a legal war against his own label, Kendrick, and maybe even the NFL itself.

The performance started innocently enough.

The crowd roared.

The lights danced.

But there was an underlying chill.

Kendrick didn’t walk out—he marched, like a general returning to finish a war.

He didn’t say Drake’s name.

He didn’t need to.

The beat dropped, the crowd screamed, and the first few bars of “Not Like Us” sent a signal around the globe: this wasn’t music.

This was public execution.

Then came the taunt.

Kendrick paused mid-performance, smirked, and looked straight into the camera.

“I wanna perform your favorite song…but you know they love to sue.”

The crowd lost it.

The cameras cut to Serena Williams—Drake’s ex—smiling as if she knew something the rest of us didn’t.

And then, without warning, Kendrick unleashed the beast.

The chorus erupted.

Tens of thousands screamed, “They not like us!”, and somewhere, Drake watched it all collapse.

But this wasn’t just lyrical.

It was meticulous psychological warfare.

Samuel L. Jackson appeared onscreen as “Uncle Sam,” narrating a surreal monologue about American identity, systemic oppression, and cultural suppression.

Kendrick used this to paint Drake not as a rival—but as a symbol of everything fake, sanitized, and complicit.

When the lyrics “I hear you like ‘em young” echoed through the stadium, the energy shifted.

The air tightened.

The collective gasp was deafening.

The moment wasn’t just viral—it was visceral.

Backstage, sources say Drake’s team was in full panic mode.

They’d tried to stop this.

According to court documents, Drake begged Universal Music Group—his own label—to block Kendrick’s performance, citing defamation and reputational harm.

UMG refused.

In fact, according to Drake’s team, they allegedly went as far as firing employees loyal to him.

Drake’s legal team claimed he tried to resolve things quietly, but UMG ghosted him.

And so, with no tracks left to drop, Drake dropped lawsuits instead.

He’s not just suing UMG for defamation.

He’s now accusing them of being “hypocritical protectors of predators”, claiming they allowed Kendrick’s track to flourish while ignoring real-world victims within their ranks.

Just hours before the halftime show, Drake’s team released a scathing public statement, comparing UMG’s actions to mocking real survivors and prioritizing profits over morality.

But UMG clapped back hard.

In their own legal filing, they called Drake’s lawsuit “illogical,” pointing out that he used them to distribute his own diss tracks for years.

They mocked his sudden moral crisis, reminding him that he signed the biggest record deal in history with them, ran his own label under their umbrella, and built his empire with their help.

Their message was crystal clear: don’t bite the hand that fed you platinum.

And still, Drake isn’t done.

Sources close to his team now say he’s exploring legal action against the NFL itself, arguing that by giving Kendrick the stage, they’re complicit in defamation.

He’s even considering naming Kendrick personally in the lawsuit—a move so bold, it could ignite a legal and cultural war unlike anything the music industry has seen.

But here’s the irony: Drake’s own house isn’t clean.

Kendrick’s shots about “liking them young” were loaded with implication, but not invented out of thin air.

Critics quickly pointed out Drake’s own murky relationships with much younger women, not to mention his close ties to Baka Not Nice—who was once charged with trafficking a minor.

Every time Drake accuses someone of slander, receipts are dragged right back to his doorstep.

And while Drake may feel cornered, many see this lawsuit not as a defense—but a desperate cry for control.

The truth is, he lost the battle long ago.

Kendrick didn’t just beat him in the court of public opinion—he dominated the cultural moment.

“Not Like Us” became more than a song.

It became a symbol.

And Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance turned it into an anthem chanted by millions, across race, gender, and generation.

That kind of hit doesn’t chart—it echoes.

In the aftermath, Drake flew to Australia, going back on tour in what some are calling a strategic attempt to pretend he’s unbothered.

But fans aren’t buying it.

The aura is gone.

The invincibility is cracked.

The Certified Lover Boy has become the Certified Lawsuit Filer—and it’s not a good look.

For a man once celebrated for never missing, this year has become a nonstop series of public misses.

His diss tracks landed with a thud.

His opponents came out stronger.

And now, the only weapon left in his arsenal is a legal one.

But even that is backfiring.

Instead of sympathy, fans are calling him “soft.

” Instead of outrage, they’re laughing.

Even his label is openly shading him.

It’s a full-scale unraveling, playing out in real time, and everyone’s watching.

So where does Drake go from here? Does he really want to be remembered as the guy who cried in court after losing a rap battle? Does he risk exposing more about himself in depositions and discovery? Or will he

finally do what every fallen icon eventually must—step back, reflect, and rebuild?

Because the more he fights this, the more it feels like he’s fighting the inevitable.

Kendrick won.

Not just the beef—but the moment.

And now, Drake has a choice: keep digging, or start healing.

Either way, the world is watching.
