As a longtime fan and observer of the hip-hop scene, I’ve seen my fair share of beefs and feuds. The latest between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has certainly been one for the history books, capturing the attention of millions worldwide. Now, with Drake making legal moves against Lamar and UMG, it seems this saga may not be over yet.
As we approach the final weeks of 2024, many are reflecting on this year’s top TV shows and eagerly anticipating what next year’s and future television schedules will bring. One highly anticipated event is Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance, which has sparked excitement among many. However, it seems that Drake may not be one of them, given his recent legal actions related to his ongoing feud with the rapper. A legal expert has now shared their insights on a potential lawsuit between the two artists, and they were quite straightforward in their assessment.
Brian “Z” Zisook, one of Audiomack’s co-founders, recently discussed with Rolling Stone the legal action taken by Drake against Lamar and Universal Music Group (UMG). This matter has been humorously addressed by shows such as Inside The NBA and others. However, in a similar vein, legal representatives have suggested that the case for a lawsuit “lacks substantial evidence.” Zisook opined that Drake’s effort to undermine the impact of the diss track “Not Like Us” might not yield the desired outcome as intended.
It’s possible he might have gotten carried away, we’ll see how things unfold. I’m unsure of its extent, but sometimes situations escalate only to calm down later. In my opinion, it would be best if this situation doesn’t progress further. The fact that it occurred will certainly tarnish Drake’s reputation even more over the past year.
2024 saw Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap rivalry reigning supreme in pop culture discussions, leading to some peculiar online fan encounters. Despite the Super Bowl halftime show being an event Drake might prefer to avoid, industry experts believe that his legal actions are primarily serving to heighten interest in the diss track and boost Kendrick Lamar’s profile.
The gist of the analysis is that making defamation claims in a “rap feud” will be shaky ground for any lawsuit. And when it comes to claims of using bots to artificially boost streaming metrics and claims of payola, the burden of finding evidence would be very hard to prove. Additionally, it’s suggested that all popular artists in the industry benefit from bot manipulation of their songs, including Drake.
Essentially, the advice is to avoid this undertaking as Drake may invest considerable effort and resources into a lawsuit with minimal prospects of success.

The recent disclosure of Drake’s legal papers (not yet a full lawsuit) follows Kendrick Lamar’s new album release, GNX. Although Drake appears unbothered publicly regarding his rival’s actions, it is speculated that he may have issues with other artists in 2025. Lil Wayne expressed displeasure over being overlooked for the New Orleans Super Bowl, leading to questions about whether he could be the one going after Lamar next, given their friendship with Drake.
Additionally, I’d ponder if any rapper would dare to challenge Kendrick Lamar following the widespread interest this recent feud generated. It seems many people are still trying to understand why it matters, as demonstrated by Chet Hanks needing to explain its significance to his father, Tom, for instance.
At the moment, it appears we should monitor the legal aspects of Drake’s disagreement with Kendrick Lamar and others to see if a clear motive or final objective emerges. Until then, I prefer to maintain a distance from both artists to avoid the possibility of having a highly-popular diss track directed at me!
