Drake’s recent string of music releases has fans speculating that they could be more than just new tracks—they might signal the rekindling of his long-standing lyrical feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The theory gained momentum after Drake’s secret Instagram account, @plottttwistttttt, caught the attention of fans with some late-night activity.
In one post, Drake shared a clip from the 1987 action film A Better Tomorrow 2 featuring an intense shootout scene. This has led fans to believe that the rapper is gearing up for a fiery comeback in his rivalry with Kendrick.
Drake further fueled speculation by posting a clip of former NBA star Rasheed Wallace predicting a win for the underdog Detroit Pistons in the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals—a prediction that came true when the Pistons went on to win the championship. Fans interpret this as Drake aligning himself with the underdog spirit, potentially signaling a lyrical battle with Kendrick.
Drake’s latest music drop—three tracks titled “Supersoak,” “Circadian Rhythm,” and “No Face”—has only intensified the rumors. Listeners believe these songs contain subtle jabs at Kendrick and other major figures in the music industry.
Though Drake has been relatively quiet since the release of his track “Not Like Us” in May, widely seen as a response to Kendrick’s “The Heart Pt. 6,” these new developments suggest the feud is far from over. Meanwhile, L.A. rapper Hitta J3 hinted that Kendrick is working on a new album, sparking debates among industry insiders about its timing and significance.
