Tensions between Drake and Kendrick Lamar are no longer just confined to the music world—they’ve started to spill into Canadian politics.
The latest twist? Drake took a direct shot at Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh after Singh was seen at Kendrick Lamar’s concert in Toronto. The show, part of Kendrick’s The Pop Out – Ken & Friends tour, was held at the Rogers Centre and also featured SZA.
Drake, clearly unimpressed, messaged Singh on Instagram, calling him a “goof,” and later posted a screenshot of their exchange on his Instagram Stories. Singh, who once led the New Democratic Party, quickly faced backlash from Drake’s loyal fan base.
Trying to ease the situation, Singh apologized online:
“I went for SZA, not Kendrick,” he wrote. “I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it — I shouldn’t have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city. For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.”
Drake didn’t accept the apology. Instead, he unfollowed Singh on social media, sending a clear message.
Meanwhile, Kendrick made no effort to soften his stance during the Toronto concert. He delivered a fiery performance of “Not Like Us,” his diss track aimed at Drake, to a hyped crowd that even called for an encore.
Interestingly, Drake and streaming star Kai Cenat were expected to host a livestream to counter the show—but they pulled out last minute, postponing their appearance.
This latest chapter in the Drake vs. Kendrick saga has now drawn in political figures—proof that this feud isn’t just entertainment, it’s a cultural moment with real-world ripple effects.
