AceShowbiz - "Inside the NBA" is not just a sports commentary show; it's a pop culture phenomenon. Recently, the show took a jab at Drake during its coverage, referencing his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. The potential cancellation rumors swirling around didn't deter fans from enjoying what could be the best roster lineup in the show's history, especially with the addition of Jalen Rose.

During a recent episode, the crew opened up a segment playing Kendrick Lamar's latest single "TV Off." Shaquille O'Neal greeted the song with his boisterous "mustard" exclamation, mimicking Kendrick's style. As laughter ensued, Jalen Rose chimed in with a cheeky remark, wondering if Drake might sue if they continued playing the song.

Jalen Rose's comments came after Drake Launched a lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar's label, accusing them of manipulating the popularity of K. Dot's single "Not Like Us".

The dry humor was consistent with Inside The NBA's style, which includes brutally honest commentary. Take, for example, Charles Barkley's infamous critiques of women in San Antonio. This edge is precisely what has made the show so unique and irreplaceable. Despite its upcoming shift to ABC and ESPN, we hope it retains its characteristic candidness, especially with Shaq's contract discussions still in the air.

Now, onto the core of Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud. According to The BBC, Drake has filed a lawsuit against UMG and Spotify. He alleges that these companies artificially inflated the popularity of Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us" to appear more popular than it was. This scheme allegedly involved working with influencers, Apple, and radio stations to push the track into the limelight for financial gain.

Kendrick Lamar, on the other hand, has not shied away from highlighting what he perceives as his victory in the rap feud. The beef between these two hip-hop moguls has elements of sensational drama, even spawning GoFundMe pages that mock the artists. With Drake's lawsuit hitting the courts, the flames of this feud are far from being extinguished.

Given Inside the NBA's penchant for timely jokes and barbs, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Drake and Lamar beef resurface in future episodes. Fans will be closely watching to see if Drake, an avid sports fan, responds to the hosts' commentary. As Inside the NBA continues beyond the 2024-2025 season, viewers can expect more of the same unfiltered, entertaining content that has made the show a staple in sports and pop culture commentary.
