After Wack 100 revealed that Drizzy sent K.Dot a cease and desist to stop him from performing the diss track at the upcoming event, the claim is said to be 'not true.'
- October 1, 2024
AceShowbiz - A claim suggesting that Drake is trying to stop Kendrick Lamar from performing "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl has been debunked. It has been reported that the "Hotline Bling" hitmaker has no plans to do so.
On Monday, September 30, a representative of the 37-year-old Canadian hip-hop artist shut down the rumor, saying that it is "not true." Speaking to Page Six, the rep stated, "There was never any intention or plan to send a cease and desist to anyone."
The revelation came after Wack 100 made the claim during a chat. The music manager to West Coast rappers Blueface and The Game recently discussed the matter with a group of people. At one point, he said that Drake served Kendrick a cease and desist "so that he can't perform" the diss track against Drizzy at the 2025 Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.
During the conversation, the record executive also received a question about what would happen if Kendrick, who is also famous as K.Dot, decided to deliver the song despite the cease and desist. In response, he stated, "He's tryna get the NFL to restrict Kendrick."
A voice recording, in which Wack 100 made the revelation, was uploaded by a blog on Instagram. It did not take long for the post to be flooded with online responses from social media users, including those who believed that Wack 100 was speaking the truth.
In the comments section, one in particular wrote, "Drake begged that man to drop. he did & well... his lost, his fault, his problem!" Another penned, "He don't have to perform it, the audience will!!!" Similarly, a third suggested, "Just play the beat and let the crowd perform it then. no way he gettin away that eazy." A fourth stated, "All Kendrick will do is replace Drake's name in the song."
K.Dot is set to perform on February 9, 2025 at the iconic Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The rapper, who co-founded pgLang with Dave Free, will work with the creative company to direct his Super Bowl performance. He shared, "Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I'll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one."
