ALL THE WILD WAYS FANS THINK DRAKE IS TROLLING KENDRICK LAMAR IN ‘NOKIA’ VIDEO

It's been over a year since Kendrick Lamar took a shot at Drake and J. Cole on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That," kicking off one of the biggest rap battles in hip-hop history. Things have died down but the aftermath has included Super Bowl disses, lawsuits and more. Now, fans think Drizzy is subliminally trolling K-Dot in the music video for the single "Nokia."

Drake dropped the video for his $ome $exy $ongs 4 U single "Nokia" on Monday (March 31). And fans on social media have pointed out some similarities between it and Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video and 2025 Super Bowl halftime show performance.

For one, Drake's new visual features an ensemble of dancers on a huge stage, similar to Dot's Big Game set. Other people have noted the appearance of NBA player and Canada native Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the video juxtaposed against Cali native DeMar DeRozan appearing in Kendrick's "Not Like Us" visual. There is also a handshake in the "Nokia" video that seems to almost mirror a scene in "Not Like Us" and more.
