Shawn Michaels, the WWE Hall of Famer, unexpectedly found himself intertwined in the ongoing feud between hip-hop heavyweights Drake and Kendrick Lamar. These two renowned rappers, known for their chart-topping hits and successful albums, have recently been embroiled in a public spat that has charmed fans worldwide.
The feud ignited when Kendrick Lamar released his track “Like That,” asserting his exclusion from the supposed hip-hop trio alongside Drake and J. Cole, boldly claiming his solo status. In a swift response, Drake unleashed his own counterstrike with “Push Ups,” dismissing Kendrick’s claims and asserting his dominance in the rap scene, specifically pointing out Kendrick’s alleged shortcomings.
Not one to back down, Drake escalated the conflict by dropping another diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” featuring simulated voices of legendary figures Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. However, this move led to legal repercussions due to unauthorized voice usage.

In a surprising turn of events, Kendrick Lamar retaliated with his diss track “Not Like Us,” where he cleverly referenced Shawn Michaels’ signature finishing move, the “Sweet Chin Music.” The lyrics showcased Kendrick’s lyrical prowess as he metaphorically likened his actions to the iconic WWE move, signaling a fierce determination to take down his opponent in the ongoing rap battle.
Meanwhile, the aftermath of the 2024 WWE Draft saw Vince Russo criticizing Triple H and Shawn Michaels for promoting wrestlers he deemed lacking the “IT” factor. Russo’s impassioned commentary questioned the recruitment process, emphasizing the need for exceptional talent over mediocrity in the wrestling industry.
As the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues to unfold and the WWE terrain evolves post-draft, fans eagerly anticipate the outcomes of these heated rivalries and the potential rise of new stars in both the music and wrestling realms.
