The two have been trading diss tracks and public insults for years, with no signs of slowing down. As of now, it is Lamar's turn again. He did not drop another bombshell of a diss track but has opted to revisit one of his most iconic diss track from the entire saga 'Euphoria' and rework it into a scathing attack on Drake.
The latest version of 'Euphoria' by Kendrick Lamar aimed at Drake's coveted Tupac Shakur ring, a symbol of his supposed connection to the legendary rapper. Delivering the latest blow at a recent performance of his song at The Pop Out: Ken and Friends concert in Los Angeles, K-Dot rapped, "Give me Tupac's ring back and I might give you a little respect.” Having channeled a similar outfit as Shakur in a red jacket, he paid homage to the legendary rapper while also aiming at Drake.
