Kendrick Lamar Fans Notice He Responded To Drake’s “No Face” In Advance

Yesterday, Drake proved to the world that he’s not finished by unveiling three new tracks on his burner Instagram account. The first was a solo track called “Circadian Rhythm,” followed by “Supersoak (SOD)” without Lil Yachty. Finally, he dropped “No Face,” a collaboration with Playboi Carti. Of course, the surprise release is drawing big reactions from fans and critics alike on social media.

As listeners dissect the Toronto hitmaker’s lyrics, many are pointing out apparent jabs at Kendrick Lamar. On “Circadian Rhythm,” for example, Drake spits about dodging “funeral dates.” Some believe this could be a reference to Kendrick’s Juneteenth Pop Out show in LA, which fans jokingly dubbed a funeral for Drizzy online. The title of the song is also used in Kendrick’s second Drake diss, “6:16 In L.A.” It’s billed as a sequel to his 2013 song “The Language,” which was widely believed to be a response to Kendrick’s “Control” verse.

Fans Dissect Drake’s “No Face” Lyrics

Obviously, Kendrick has yet to fire back, though he may have done so in advance. @AndresWrites called attention to a few of Drake’s “No Face” lyrics on X last night, as well as a diss from Kendrick’s “Meet The Grahams.” On “No Face,” Drake says that his therapist put in their 30-day notice. On “Meet The Grahams,” Dot suggested that therapy wasn’t enough for Drake and that he should instead strip his ego with ayahuasca.

Kendrick is far from the only fellow rapper fans think Drake took shots at on “No Face,” however. Listeners think he warned everyone that joined in on the 20 v. 1 battle, rapping “I’m just so happy that n***as who envied and held that sh*t in got to finally show it/ I’m over the Moon, yeah, we’ll see you boys soon.” What do you think of Drake dropping three new tracks last night?
