For the past few months, Drake was tirelessly caught up in a highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar. This led the two rappers to throw shade at each other using their lyrical talent. Eventually, fans proclaimed Lamar as the winner of the feud, leading him to perform his infamous diss track Not Like Us at the Super Bowl halftime show.
But now, it’s Drake who’s making headlines after a new video of him throwing a slipper at a drone went viral, that seemingly entered his penthouse apartment in Australia and caught his laptop with a gambling site open. While the rapper’s body language seemed convincing, fans believe the video was staged. If it was then Kendrick Lamar might have just found a topic for his next diss track.
Drake goes viral after trying to take out a drone at his penthouse in Sydney
Drake is making headlines again, and no, it’s not for another diss track battle with Kendrick Lamar. This time, it’s for his heroic and “extremely” natural attempt to take down a drone that just happened to capture him gambling on his laptop. Because, of course, that’s exactly what random drones do—sneak into rapper penthouses and expose their guilty pleasures.
The video first emerged on social media after X user @FearedBuck shared it. The clip began with a drone casually capturing Drake’s laptop that was open on a desk, conveniently featuring a gambling site. That’s when the rapper entered the room looking visibly shocked (probably gasping in scripted drama) to see the drone and trying to take it out by aimlessly throwing an orange sandal at it.
This all happened at the rapper’s penthouse apartment in Sydney, Australia, where Drake is currently living amid his Anita Max Win Tour, happening across the country and New Zealand. Meanwhile, the video went viral amassing over 14 million views with netizens wasting no time in breaking it down.
Kendrick Lamar’s next diss track might be on the way after fans called Drake’s video fake
As Drake’s video went viral, fans took one look at it and slammed it as an overly convenient attempt at going viral. After all, what are the odds that a drone just happened to catch him mid-gamble? This led a few people to believe that the rapper and @FearedBuck are both affiliated with the gambling site, Stake. But again, maybe he was just really, really unlucky—or maybe this was just another PR stunt that backfired spectacularly.
Well, whatever it was, now that the video went viral, there’s a high chance of this hilarious stunt turning into Kendrick Lamar‘s material for his next diss track. If Drake really did stage this little slipper-throwing spectacle, then congratulations—he seems to have handed Lamar another reason to drag him into a diss track.
Perhaps, in Kendrick Lamar’s next song, we might hear about Drake’s great battle of the slipper vs. drone. Maybe he’ll even throw in some gambling references—because what better way to roast someone than by highlighting their alleged online casino habits? At this point, the best thing that the Canadian rapper could do is lay low and hope Lamar doesn’t decide to use this moment as ammunition.
