Near the end of his "Pursuit of Happiness" performance, Kid seemingly addressed his ongoing feud with Drake, telling his fans, "I know life is crazy and s**t and s**t comes our way but we can get through this s**t."

Kid previously accused Drake and Kanye West of using ghost writers for their rhymes. The "Hotline Bling" hitmaker hit back at Kid with his new song "Two Birds, One Stone". Kid later responded to the diss track, tweeting, "@Drake Say it to face, p***y. You think it's a game. I wanna see you say it to my face. I'll be out soon. Promise."
