Wack 100 asserts that Drake is pursuing legal measures to prevent Kendrick Lamar from performing “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl halftime show.
During a streaming session on Sunday, the music executive ignited controversy by claiming that Drake has issued a cease and desist order to Lamar, prohibiting him from performing the diss track at the game scheduled for February 11, 2025.
“He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick,” Wack stated during the discussion.
While neither Drake nor Lamar has publicly addressed the matter, this rumor has introduced a new dimension of drama to the longstanding rivalry between the two artists. Lamar has not yet disclosed his setlist for the Super Bowl, but many assume that “Not Like Us” would likely feature prominently, given that it was arguably the biggest release of 2024. However, considering the provocative nature of the accusations directed at Drake in the track, it is understandable why he would seek its exclusion.
Moreover, tensions exist surrounding Lil Wayne’s absence from the upcoming halftime show, which will take place in his hometown of New Orleans. This could serve as an additional motivation for Drake to intervene. Nicki Minaj has also criticized Jay-Z for allegedly punishing Wayne by excluding him from the lineup. However, Wack believes that as long as Jay-Z, the founder of Roc Nation, is involved with the Super Bowl, Drake’s cease and desist will not prevent Lamar from performing his hit.
The source of Wack’s information remains unclear, raising questions about its veracity.
