There isn’t a person left on the planet still debating who won the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. It’s been Kendrick in a landslide for a while.

“Not Like Us” is easily the song of the summer. Heck, that might be selling it short at this point. It might just be the song of the year. It might even win a Grammy, which is insane considering it’s a beef song.
You’d think Kendrick might just take his win and go home. But nope. He’s not letting Drake off that easily. He’s petty like that.
The Pop Out show on Juneteenth wasn’t enough of a victory lap for K Dot. He had to come with an entire “Not Like Us” video to rub things in even more. And, to make matters worse, he dropped it on July 4th.
It doesn’t sound like Drake is getting any holidays to celebrate this summer.
If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what he was doing on the 4th when this happened. Luckily, we don’t have to wait around to find out. We know exactly where Drake was when the video dropped.
He was schmoozing at Michael Rubin’s second annual 4th of July all-white party. He was spotted chatting with Glorilla during the party.

He also performed at the party, which, honestly, deserves a shoutout. If I were him, I probably wouldn’t be spotted in public for another five years. But hey! Live your life, dude.

Is it just me or does Drake look like he’s aged about 20 years in the last three months? Sheesh.
I want to know if anyone played the video for him here at this party. Did that happen?
The best-case scenario, he didn’t see it. This seems like one of those ultra-rich “leave your phone at home” parties, so maybe they didn’t even know it dropped? Which, if that’s the case, Drake may have had a nice day. This is probably what actually happened.
The worst case? In the middle of everybody having a blast, all the phones in the building simultaneously go “ding.” It’s a mass text from Kendrick. Why does he have everyone’s number? How did he get it? I have no idea. He’s just diabolical like that. It says, “Play this for your boy,” and it’s just a link to the “Not Like Us” video. This is surely not what happened, but I’ll pretend it did just because it’s hilarious.
Regardless, Kendrick Lamar is living up to his Boogeyman nickname.
