Kendrick Lamar apparently isn’t done dissing Drake.
On Wednesday, Lamar released an untitled diss track directed toward his fellow rapper and continued their beef that made so many headlines this summer. As Aaron Williams of Uproxx noted, the untitled song was shared on his Instagram with a photograph of black Nike Air Force Ones.
Williams suggested Lamar “shuts down any possibility of reconciliation with Drake” with the latest song.
Lamar was already in the headlines considering it was revealed Sunday he will be the halftime performer for Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans:

The rapper was already part of the ensemble performance during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in February 2022 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. He performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent during the memorable show.

He will have more of a headline role in the upcoming Super Bowl, although it remains to be seen whether he will perform any of his songs that criticize Drake. His chart-topping hit Not Like Us was one of the most memorable songs of the summer and part of the ongoing beef.
Now there is another chapter.
