Drake Seems to Address Friends Going to Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out Concert in New Freestyle

If you’ve been paying even a little attention, you already knew Drake wasn’t feeling it when DeMar DeRozan popped out for Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert — and his “Not Like Us” video. But now, it appears Drake has some words for his pal — or maybe one-time pal — LeBron James, too.

In a new freestyle that premiered through Conductor Williams’ YouTube channel, Drake appears to take aim at DeMar and LeBron. The track, which is apparently titled “Fighting Irish,” is both introspective and searing.

“The world fell in love with the gimmicks/Even my brothers got tickets/Seemed like they loved every minute,” he raps on the meditative soul beat. The video removing the track has since been removed from Williams’ YouTube account.

Now, Drake doesn’t mention any names here, but, besides the context here — you know, the whole friends celebrating and absorbing “gimmicks” from someone — there is at least one other clue. The song is called “Fighting Irish,” which could be a nod to LeBron’s alma mater St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

In any case, stay locked in for when the track officially drops. That is, if it drops.
