Drake Trying to Block Kendrick Lamar from Performing ‘Not Like Us’ At the Super Bowl

Kendrick vs Drake

Drake is reportedly attempting to restrict Kendrick Lamar from performing his diss track “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, according to claims made by music manager Wack 100. On an interview with Vlad TV, Wack alleged that Drake had filed a cease and desist order against Kendrick, aiming to influence the NFL’s decision regarding Lamar’s performance.

The specifics of how Drake could enforce such restrictions remain unclear, especially since Kendrick has already performed the song publicly. It is also available on streaming platforms. Drake’s representatives have denied these claims, stating there was never any intention to send a cease and desist letter to Kendrick. They emphasized that the rumors are false and that Drake will not obstruct Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance.

What evidence does Wack 100 have to support his claims?

Wack 100 has not provided any concrete evidence to support his claims. His allegations were made during a livestreamed interview. He stated that Drake was trying to influence the NFL to stop Kendrick from performing the track.

Drake’s representatives have explicitly denied any cease and desist letter, stating there was “never any intention to send one.”

Wack has a reputation for stirring controversy and has made headlines for bold assertions. He previously commented on the shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez. His involvement in such discussions stems from his role as a music manager. His industry connections allow him to comment on artists’ affairs, even if those comments sometime lack proof.

The Super Bowl LIX halftime show

The Super Bowl LIX halftime show, officially titled the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, is scheduled for February 9, 2025. It will take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Kendrick Lamar has been confirmed as the headlining performer. This marks a significant moment, as he will be the first solo rapper to headline the event. He is also the first rapper to do so multiple times, having performed at the previous Super Bowl LVI alongside other artists.

The ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick has been marked by diss tracks including Not Like Us, Meet The Grahams, and Family Matters. This latest development adds another layer to their rivalry, which has captivated fans and industry insiders alike.

As the Super Bowl approaches, both artists’ actions will be closely watched, especially given their contentious history.
