Drake avoids saying “F*ck Kendrick” during Adin Ross livestream

During a holiday livestream with Adin Ross on December 26, Drake found himself in a viral moment after stopping short of reading “F*ck Kendrick” from a fan’s letter. The Canadian rapper was participating in the “Drizzmas Giveaway – Saving Santa the Trip,” a festive event on the streaming platform Kick. While reading fan submissions, Drake skipped over the inflammatory words, saying, “Oh, I am not reading that,” and continued with the letter.

The moment quickly went viral, with social media users reacting to Drake’s hesitation. Comments poured in, with one user noting, “Kendrick really lives in bro mind rent-free,” while others applauded his restraint, calling him “media trained.” Some speculated on the potential fallout if Drake had read the words aloud, saying, “If he said that, Kendrick would have dropped in a heartbeat.” These reactions underscored the tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, a rivalry often discussed among fans.

Amid the viral moment, the livestream’s broader context was the “Drizzmas Giveaway,” which featured grand prizes like $250,000 cash, luxury cars, a dream vacation, and a year’s rent for two winners. Done in collaboration with live streamer Adin Ross and online casino Stake, the event was billed as one of the largest streaming giveaways ever. Drake also promoted his upcoming Australian tour and unveiled a new cologne.

The interaction reignited discussions about the strained dynamic between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with fans debating the incident’s significance. While many appreciated Drake’s choice to avoid furthering any feud, the event highlighted the power of live streaming to generate viral moments and foster fan engagement.
