Wack 100 has retracted his explosive claim that Drake took legal action against Kendrick Lamar over his diss track “Not Like Us.” Initially, the controversial manager, known for representing artists like The Game, 6ix9ine, and Blueface, stirred the pot by alleging that Drake had sent a cease-and-desist letter to block K. Dot from performing the song at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
“He’s trying to get the NFL to silence Kendrick,” Wack originally stated on Clubhouse, even suggesting that JAY-Z, who plays a role in organizing the halftime event, wouldn’t allow Drake or the NFL to censor the Compton rapper.
However, in a later discussion with Akademiks on Rumble, Wack quickly walked back his statement, clarifying that he was merely repeating hearsay.
“Listen, this is what happens. We run a show on Clubhouse from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pacific, and people send me clips from everywhere to talk about,” Wack explained. “I didn’t say anything firsthand. I read a damn clip! I wouldn’t know if Drake sent a cease-and-desist because I don’t handle business for either Kendrick or Drake. It was just circulating online, and I read it — next thing you know, people are saying, ‘Wack 100 said.’”
Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated Super Bowl LIX halftime performance has already sparked a lot of chatter since the announcement last month. In his teaser video, Kendrick seemingly threw a jab at Drake, saying, “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship; no round twos.”
The “no round twos” comment appeared to reference a Rasheed Wallace interview Drake had previously posted, where the former NBA star guaranteed a win in Game 2 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals — a message that fans took as a subtle dig at his longtime rival.
Drake has responded to the buzz in his usual cryptic style, suggesting that Lil Wayne, a New Orleans native, should have been chosen for the halftime gig instead of Kendrick, given that the Super Bowl will be held in Wayne’s hometown. While stars like Nicki Minaj, Birdman, and Cam’ron openly voiced their frustration, Drake kept it low-key by sharing multiple photos of his Young Money mentor on social media during the debate.
Despite the online speculation, Wack 100 has now made it clear: any claims that Drake issued a legal threat against Kendrick are nothing more than unfounded rumors.
