Drake shuts down rumors of cease and desist against Kendrick Lamar over Super Bowl diss track

Rumors have been swirling that Drake sent a cease and desist letter to Kendrick Lamar to stop him from performing his No. 1 diss track, "Not Like Us," at the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.

However, Drake’s representative exclusively told Page Six that the rumors about the cease and desist are “not true.”

A separate source confirmed, “There was never any intention or plan to send a cease and desist to anyone.”

The speculation began over the weekend when Wack 100, manager to West Coast rappers Blueface and The Game, made the claim during an interview.

“He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick,” the 46-year-old alleged in a clip shared by Livebitez.

When asked if the supposed restriction would “hold,” Wack — born Cash Jones — responded, “No, if Jay-Z got something to do with it, it ain’t.”

The feud between Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, and Lamar, 37, ignited in March when Lamar was featured on Future and Metro Boomin's hit track “Like That.”

In the song, Lamar rapped, "Motherf–k the big three, n–a, it’s just big me," seemingly targeting Drake and J. Cole.

Later that month, during his It's All a Blur – Big as the What Tour in Florida, the Toronto artist appeared to address the diss, saying he knows that "no matter what, there’s not a n–a on this earth that could ever f–k with me in my life."

In April, Drake, 37, released his track "Push Ups," where he took shots at Lamar's height and his association with Top Dawg Entertainment.

A few days later, Drake dropped another diss track titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” directly aimed at Lamar.

On the track, Drake used AI-generated voices of Lamar's idols, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, to criticize Lamar for staying silent during their feud.

The song was eventually taken down after Tupac Shakur's estate sent a cease and desist letter to Drake, condemning the use of the late rapper's voice as a “blatant abuse” of his legacy.
