Either you have some documents or that fake tea isn’t real.
There have been many unfounded rumors that Drake sent Kendrick Lamar a cease-and-desist letter to prevent him from performing his hit song, “Not Like Us,” before the Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.
The remark was made in an interview by Wack 100, the manager of West Coast rappers Blueface and The Game, and it sparked rumors over the weekend.
In a video that Livebitez released, the 46-year-old claimed that “he’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick.”
“No, if Jay-Z got something to do with it, it ain’t,” Wack, real name Cash Jones, said in response to a question about whether he believes the purported ban will “hold.”

But Page Six has an exclusive from a music insider who claims that the rumors of a cease and desist are “getting out of hand.”
The source clarified, “There was never any intention or plan to send a cease and desist to anyone.”
Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, and Kendrick Lamar, 37, got into a rap feud in March when the rapper from “Loyalty” appeared on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That.”
He made reference to J. Cole and the “Hotline Bling” emcee when he rapped, “Motherf–k the big three, n–a, it’s just big me,” in the song.

During his It’s All a Blur – Big as the What Tour stop in Florida later that month, the Toronto native seemed to have answered, stating that he is aware that “no matter what, there’s not a n–a on this earth that could ever f–k with me in my life.”
Drake, 37, then made fun of Kendrick Lamar’s height and his record deal with Top Dawg Entertainment in his song “Push Ups,” which was released in April.
Five days later, the former cast member of “Degrassi” dropped “Taylor Made Freestyle,” another diss track directed at Lamar.
In that song, Drake used the AI voices of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg, two of Lamar’s idols, to rap, criticizing Lamar for being silent during their feud.
After Shakur’s estate sent Drake a cease and desist letter for utilizing the late rapper’s voice in a way that was a “blatant abuse” of his legacy, the song was eventually taken down from the internet.

Lamar responded in April and May with the songs “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” respectively. The resident of Compton criticized Drake for being rough, using the N-word, and saying he had a mole in his group.
Following a number of further disses from both artists, their animosity appeared to reach a boiling point when Kendrick Lamar launched “Not Like Us.”
The “Bad Blood” emcee said in the song that Drake has a thing for young girls.
Say, Drake, I’ve heard you think they’re cute / “You better make sure you hide your little sister from him and you better not ever go to cell block one / To any bitch that talk to him and they in love,” he rapped on the song.
Since its release, the song has stayed in the Top 10 of the list, having debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rapping, “Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was f–king young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s–t you just suggested,” the “God’s Plan” rapper denied preferring underage girls in “The Heart Pt 6.”
Lamar was announced as the performer for the Super Bowl LIX halftime show after the success of “Not Like Us.”
On February 9, 2025, the big game will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
