In a thrilling surprise for fans, Kendrick Lamar has just released a new single titled Watch The Party Die, exclusively on Instagram. This marks his first new music since his track Not Like Us, which was a part of his ongoing feud with Drake. The new release hasn’t hit streaming platforms yet, but it’s already creating a buzz.
The accompanying video features a shot of scuffed black Air Force 1s, a nod to Drake’s recent diss in his song Push Ups, where he took a jab at Lamar’s shoe size. The track also includes a direct shot at DJ Akademiks, a well-known Drake supporter, with the line: “The radio personality pushing propaganda for salary / Let me know when they turn up as a casualty.”
Kendrick doesn’t shy away from referencing his ongoing tension with Drake, rapping: “Just walked that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid / It’s love but tough love, sometimes you gotta result in violence.” It’s clear that this beef is far from over.
In other exciting news, Kendrick Lamar has been announced as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show. Lamar is inviting fans to join him in New Orleans on February 9, 2025, promising a spectacular performance. He even urged fans to dress up for the occasion, whether they’re watching from home or live.
The announcement has been met with support from Jay-Z, who praised Lamar as a “once-in-a-generation artist” with a profound influence on global culture. However, the decision hasn’t been without its share of controversy. Some speculate that Lamar’s Super Bowl gig might be linked to his recent feud with Drake. There’s even a conspiracy theory suggesting that Jay-Z may hold a grudge against Drake for not supporting Tidal, the music streaming platform he co-launched.
Additionally, the choice of Kendrick Lamar has sparked discussions among fans and fellow artists, with some advocating for Lil Wayne, a native of New Orleans, who many believe deserved the spot.
