Drake Reflects on Kendrick Lamar Beef Fallout on New Song 'What Did I Miss?': Listen
Drake, January 2025 (Mark Blinch/NBAE via Getty Images) Drake has released a new song called 'What Did I Miss?' On the track—co-produced by DJ Lewis, Elyas, FNZ, Gyz, London Cyr, O Lil Angel, Oz, Patron, and Tay Keith—the Toronto musician reflects on his beef with Kendrick Lamar and the people who did and did not stand by him in the feud. Listen to the song below. Drake opens 'What Did I Miss?' by reflecting on the beef and the way it affected those around him: 'Askin' me, 'How did it feel?' Can't say it didn't surprise me/Last time I looked to my right, you n****s was standing beside me/How can some people I love hang around pussies who try me?' Later, in his first verse, Drake raps, 'It's love for my brothers and death to a traitor, let's go.' In his second verse, Drake references Kendrick Lamar's massive Drake-taunting Pop Out concert, in Inglewood, California, that featured performances and appearances from former Drake collaborators, such as YG, Mustard, and Ty Dolla $ign. 'I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been dick-riding gang since 'Headlines,'' he raps. The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar was reignited when Lamar took some subtle shots at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin's 'Like That.' Importantly, Future and Metro Boomin were both, at one point in time, prominent Drake collaborators, and their turn against the Canadian artist led to other former friends taking sides in the feud. The Weeknd, for example, appeared on Future and Metro Boomin's We Still Don't Trust You—a potential sign of where his loyalties lied—and Rick Ross shared his own diss track against Drake, 'Champagne Moments.' 'What Did I Miss?' is a rare solo single from Drake, since he shared his suite of anti-Lamar tracks in 2024. The new song is released via Drake's OVO Sound. Like all of Drake's recent solo music, it is licensed to Republic Records, a label owned by Universal Music Group (UMG). Drake is federally suing UMG for defamation, claiming that the corporation 'waged an unrelenting campaign' to promote 'Not Like Us,' Kendrick Lamar's mega-hit that Drake believes is filled with falsities.

Did Drake take dig at Kendrick Lamar? Internet says ‘not again' as rapper drops new single What Did I Miss
On Friday, as per US time, singer-rapper Drake surprised fans with a sudden livestream on his YouTube channel. During the livestream, he also debuted his new single, What Did I Miss from his upcoming album, Iceman. While he talked about the album during his livestream, many online believe he took fresh jabs at rapper Kendrick Lamar, further fueling their ongoing feud. In the livestream, Drake drove a van around Toronto, aka the Iceman truck, with merchandise and branding all around it. The video features Drake rapping about his life and close people, but only a little insight into the album itself. Interestingly, some fans spotted the same van from the video out on the streets, sparking buzz online. The biggest moment from Drake's livestream was the surprise drop of his new single titled, What Did I Miss. The track, featuring his signature blend of rap and melody, seemingly included fresh digs at Kendrick Lamar. In one line, Drake raps: 'I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been dckriding gang since Headlines,' easily referring to Kendrick's Pop Out concert held in Los Angeles on Juneteenth 2024. The lyrics seem to call out Kendrick directly, tying back to the early days of their ongoing feud, which escalated even more after Kendrick released Not Like Us. The Grammy-winning track included explosive accusations, including allegations that Drake is a paedophile. Meanwhile, the internet is filled with mixed reactions to the new single. A user commented on the post about Drake's lyrics, 'Bro still yapping bout Kendrick? Who keeping who relevant (sic).' 'Don't wake him back up boy (sic),' added another. One more said, 'Why doesn't he just say their name LMAO (sic).' Many also claimed that this time the rapper might be taking an indirect shot at his once friend, LeBron James. 'Hopefully he not talking about Bron, he literally got tatted (sic),' said yet another user. Someone wrote, 'Not this sh*t again bro got owned by Kendrick lol.' Meanwhile, Drake is yet to share more details about his upcoming album. On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar and LeBron James are yet to publicly react to the song.

Inside Mel B and Victoria Beckham feud as Posh Spice swerves Scary's wedding
Victoria Beckham will not be at her former bandmate Mel B's wedding this weekend due to 'long-standing commitments abroad', which means she 'simply can't attend' Despite insisting "Friendship never ends" in their 2007 track, Headlines, the Spice Girls haven't always been the best of pals. They are all said to have fallen out with one another at some point during their star-studded careers, which, some would argue, is to be expected after living out of a suitcase and sharing hotel rooms around the world during their rise to fame. However, some of the feuds are said to have got particularly spicy, including the decades-long skirmish between Victoria Beckham and Mel B. Victoria will not be at the artist formerly known as Scary Spice's wedding this weekend, due to 'long-standing commitments abroad', which means she 'simply can't attend'. The fashion icon and Geri Halliwell are both missing from the guest list for the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral, where Mel will marry fiancé Rory McPhee in a star-studded event. So, as Victoria skips off abroad, swerving Mel's big day, here's an inside look at all the times the former bandmates haven't seen eye to eye, starting when Posh was said to be horrified when she spotted Scary's former lover pooing on the beach... READ MORE: Mel B refuses to invite two Spice Girls members to her wedding this weekend amid drama How Mel B's feud with Victoria Beckham began Mel B and Victoria Beckham first fell out while on holiday with the rest of the Spice Girls back in 1995, according to Mel. After Posh Spice clocked Scary's then lover pooing on a shell-strewn beach in Hawaii - and then rinse himself off in the sea- the women's relationship has, reportedly, never been the same. Revealed in Mel's first memoir, To Catch A Fire, the singer said the Spice Girls had gone on holiday to strengthen their bond. During the jaunt, Mel met a guy and quickly began a holiday romance. She writes: 'I ended going off with Nalu for nights on end sleeping rough under the stars or in his little car. A proper holiday romance.' But when Victoria saw Mel's beau pooing on a tourist beach during their break in Hawaii, things went south. Outraged Posh reportedly told Mel: 'Doesn't he know what a toilet is? It's disgusting.' Mel B 'fuming' after Victoria snubs Spice Girls reunion After reuniting in 2007 and releasing Headlines, which only limped into the charts at Number 20, the Spice Girls cut their subsequent tour short. However, in 2019, they announced their plans to hit the road again – only this time not everyone was onboard. Victoria, who was then firmly focused on her fashion career refused to join the lineup, much to the reported annoyance of her bandmates. At the time a source said to be close to the band claimed there was a fierce falling-out between the four remaining Spice Girls and Victoria and their former manager, Simon Fuller, reports the Mail. It reportedly ended in Mel B sending a furious text to Victoria after she pulled out of the tour, after apparently saying she was definitely keen. Victoria enrages Mel after 'cashing in on band' Fuelling the feud rumours further after turning down the chance to tour again with the Spice Girls, Victoria was said to have seriously irked Scary after posing in Spice-inspired outfits for her Vogue shoot earlier the same year. A source, who claimed Mel spiralled into a "foul-mouthed rage", claimed at the time: "The girls are furious with Victoria for initially agreeing to reunite, at one stage she even threatened to go legal if the girls cashed in on the brand minus her." Mel mocks Victoria in savage Halloween costume Mel then upped the ante when she dressed up as Victoria for a Halloween party, holding a savage sign, which read: "I am NOT going on tour." Wearing a paper mask of Victoria's face, standing next to her partner for the evening, Gary Madatyan, who was dressed up like David Beckham, Mel made sure all eyes were on her for supermodel Heidi Klum's annual extravaganza in 2018. However, Victoria was said to be furious after the stunt, with sources claiming she was angry at Mel for making her look like the bad guy... Victoria furious with Mel for making her look like a 'killjoy' Following the failed reunion, reports claimed that Victoria 'never agreed' to reunite for a comeback, and was frustrated with Mel for making out she is the 'killjoy' of the group. Insisting she never signed up to go on the time-consuming tours, a source said: "Victoria was always up for a catch-up and the prospect of a celebration of the band's work. But going out on the road for concerts was never something she agreed to."
