Drake posts cryptic message after Kendrick Lamar concert

Following Kendrick Lamar’s eventful concert, fans are trying to decipher a cryptic Instagram post from rap superstar Drake.

Lamar ignited the cultural scene on June 19 with “The Pop Out — Ken & Friends” concert in Los Angeles. Although she hails from Compton, the hometown show featured a star-studded lineup, including Dr. Dre, Roddy Ricch, Ty Dolla $ign, Tyler The Creator and Steve Lacy. Video clips from the event quickly went viral, showcasing Southern California’s top talent.

Anticipation was high for Drake’s response, especially after Lamar repeatedly performed his provocative track “Not Like Us.”

Drake’s response, however, left his nearly 150 million Instagram followers perplexed. The rapper posted a mirror selfie in a Cleveland jersey with the caption “Summer League.”

Some fans speculated that Drake’s post was a direct attack on his close friend LeBron James, a well-known hip-hop enthusiast and former collaborator at various parties and companies. James, a Los Angeles Lakers player, was seen at the Lamar concert, conveniently located a short drive from the Kia Forum in Inglewood.

James spent 11 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, leading them to their only NBA championship in 2016. He left the team two years later.

“He’s wearing a Cleveland jersey. Is he trolling LeBron?!! » asked another person.

Another theory suggests that Drake’s message could be an attack on NBA star Russell Westbrook. The Los Angeles Clippers point guard joined Lamar on stage during Wednesday night’s concert.

“I think Drake was trying to say that Westbrook might have to compete in the summer league for a spot on the team this year,” the respondent said.

On June 19, Kendrick Lamar consolidated his status as the undisputed king of hip-hop. However, some Drake fans are interpreting his cryptic Instagram story as a sign that the “You the Best” rapper is gearing up for a major comeback this summer, potentially releasing an album or song targeting Lamar.
