Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef Granted Highest Possible Honor: ‘Jeopardy!’ Question


The beef that keeps on giving, just keeps on giving. Two weeks after Kendrick Lamar resolutely slammed the lid shut on his verbal takedown of Drake with the iconic “Not Like Us” music video, the two men were in the spotlight again on Tuesday night (July 16) when their bars brawl made it into a category on Jeopardy!

The $800 clue in the “Diss-Track-Tions” category was a lay-up for contestant Isaac when host Ken Jennings asked, “In May 2024, these 2 competitors went back and forth with tracks like ‘Family Matters’ and ‘Meet the Grahams.’” That was too easy for Isaac, who easily buzzed in with “Who are Kendrick Lamar and Drake?”


According to Rolling Stone, the category also touched on the long-running beef between Jay-Z and Nas with a $2,000 answer, “The title of this hate letter from Nas to Jay-Z that shares its name with an anesthetic drug now means ‘to insult publicly.’” Hip-hip heads immediately buzzed in with “What is Ether,” Nas’ 2001 answer to Jay-Z’s “Takeover.” Other clues in the run included looks back at famous beefs between 50 Cent and Cam’Ron, the Game and Eminem an, of course, the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.


The timing was fortuitous, since the day before Lamar’s searing “Not Like Us” was back at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart following the premier of the official video. The bump-up marked the second time the song made it to the top of that chart after debuting at the summit nine weeks earlier. The song also bounced up from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to the video’s July 4th weekend premier, also nine weeks after debuting at the top of that chart.
