Watch : What Drake Is Up to After Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Diss

Having no friends in this industry doesn’t bother Drake.

After Kendrick Lamar dissed him during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, the OVO founder seemingly responded to the performance during his own show in Melbourne. 

During the Feb. 10 concert at the Rod Laver Arena, Drake rapped the lyrics to his song “Knife Talk,” featuring 21 Savage and Project Pat with a subtle twist in the last bar.

“When I see you, better put that f--kin’ pride to the side,” he said. “Many times, plenty times, I survived / Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never die.”

In the studio recording, however, the 38-year-old rapped, “Beef is live, spoiler alert, this n---a dies.”

E! News has reached out to Drake’s reps for comment and has not heard back.

Kendrick’s performance during the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles Feb. 9 made several digs at the “One Dance” musician. As the lights rose on the Caesars Superdome turf, fans wondered whether his medley would include the diss track “Not Like Us” as he began the show with “Squabble Up” before going into “Humble.”

Nevertheless, Kendrick had no problem bringing their beef—which has since escalated to a lawsuit from Drake to both of their record labels Universal Music Group—to national television.

“I want to make a move,” the Compton native teased to his backup dancers. “I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue. Maybe I’ll think about it.”

But he didn’t have to think too long because just minutes later, the instrumental to “Not Like Us” blasted through the speakers. As Kendrick beamed at the camera, he rapped the lyrics to his track, “Say, Drake, I heard you like ‘em young.”

He went on, “Aint you tired? Trying to strike a chord and it’s probably a minor.”

Along with Drake’s ex SZA being featured in the evening’s spectacle, his other rumored ex Serena Williams also made an appearance during the song. 

While Kendrick’s performance was one to remember, he emphasized ahead of the evening that the halftime gig wasn’t something he was actively vying for.

“I wasn’t thinking about no Super Bowl,” he told Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis during a Feb. 6 press conference. “The passion I have now is still the passion I had then. And I think that carried on to the Super Bowl. So it was all about being present.” 

He added, “As long as I was present in the studio or present in whatever the line was, or whatever the mistake was, rapping or doing the hooks or choruses or whatnot, I was present in that moment, I felt that passion.”
