Drake joined in on the festivities during his extended holiday weekend by attending the all-white party hosted by Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.

The 37-year-old rapper, Aubrey Drake Graham, posted a photo on his Instagram story alongside female rapper GloRilla at the Hamptons event.

Rubin also posted several photos on his Instagram, including one where he posed with Drizzy.

Drake's presence appeared to influence the music selection, as TMZ now reports that Kendrick Lamar's music was notably absent throughout the entire night.

Throughout the night, various DJs were reportedly on duty, but none played any music by Kendrick Lamar, possibly due to ongoing tensions between Drake and the Los Angeles-based rapper.

The primary DJ, who is affiliated with Travis Scott's team and is known to be on good terms with Drake, also contributed to the decision not to play any Kendrick Lamar songs.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who hails from Los Angeles, have been involved in a competitive feud that spans more than ten years.

Several diss tracks have been exchanged between them, including "Not Like Us," where Kendrick accuses Drake of inappropriate behavior.

Last month, Lamar made headlines at a Juneteenth concert where he brought together members of the Bloods and Crips gangs onstage and performed "Not Like Us" five consecutive times.
