URGENT UPDATE: In a surprising twist, Drake has liked a recent Instagram post from Halsey, igniting speculation about a potential thaw in his long-standing feud with Kendrick Lamar. The post features Halsey rapping along to Lamar’s hit “Swimming Pools,” and it has already amassed over 278,534 likes within hours.
Halsey shared the reel earlier today, showcasing her talent by comparing Dax’s flow to that of Lamar’s. In her clip, she seamlessly transitions from Dax’s lyrics to Kendrick’s, injecting humor into her performance. “I can’t unhear this, I’m sorry I’m deeply online,” she captioned the video, which has quickly drawn attention from fans and industry insiders alike.
Drake’s engagement with Halsey’s post has prompted a flurry of reactions on social media. Fans are now speculating whether this signals a reconciliation between him and Lamar, who have had a contentious relationship since their early collaborations. “So did Kendrick and Drake squash the beef?” one user pondered on X (formerly Twitter).
“Drake liking the post is funny,” another commented, highlighting the unexpected nature of the interaction.
The history between Drake and Kendrick Lamar is complex. Initially collaborators, they worked together on tracks like “Buried Alive Interlude” and “Poetic Justice.” However, their relationship turned sour in 2013 when Lamar called out several rappers, including Drake, on Big Sean’s track “Control.” Tensions escalated further in 2023 when J. Cole suggested that the three artists represent hip-hop’s modern elite, a claim Lamar rejected, asserting his dominance in the space.
This latest incident has put both artists back in the spotlight, with fans eager to see how this interaction might affect their dynamic. Halsey, currently on a break from her Back to Badlands Tour, is set to perform next on December 13, 2025, at the MDLBEAST Soundstorm 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As the music world watches closely, the implications of Drake’s like on Halsey’s post could be significant. Will this lead to a public reconciliation, or is it merely a moment of social media curiosity? Stay tuned as more developments unfold.
