As part of his Anita Max Win Tour, the God's Plan hitmaker recently made a stop in Melbourne, where he switched up the lyric to his 2021 track from his sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy. The 38-year-old rapper's move to alter the track has led social media users to believe he did so as a response to Lamar.

In the original track, Drake raps, “Beef is live, spoiler alert, this n***a dies.” However, during Monday's show, he changed the lyric to: “Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never died.”

As video clips from the concert went viral on social media, fans believed it to be a direct response to Lamar, who smiled directly into the camera while rapping, “Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young,” at the NFL championship.

The now-viral video shared on X by @realalmightee drew mixed responses from users. “He was never alive in this beef, and there was no beef, kednrick won 15-0...with such a score, we consider you nonexistent,” a user wrote, while another said, “kendrick fans kicking the air rn.”

One more user added, “Not Like Us won a Grammy, was a top song in 2024 and got performed at the SuperBowl, the greatest sporting event in America and one of the biggest worldwide. There’s not coming back from that lol.”
