While the track doesn’t mention Lamar or any of the former friends specifically, Drake does pinpoint one specific incident: Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth 2024 Pop Out concert in Los Angeles, where that rapper performed his Drake-dissing “Not Like Us” five times.
“I’m back in your city tonight, walkin’ around with my head high,” Drake says on the track. “I saw bro at the Pop Out with them but been dick riding gang since ‘Headlines.’” (Drake doesn’t clarify who “bro” is, but the internet is abuzz that he’s potentially talking about NBA stars and Pop Out guests LeBron James and/or DeMar DeRozan, the latter of whom formerly played for Drake’s beloved Toronto Raptors.)
