Jay Pharoah Drops the Ultimate Kendrick-Drake Inspired Diss, Morphs Into Shaquille O’Neal, 50 Cent, Jimmy Fallon, and More

Published 05/23/2024, 1:07 AM CDT

As Drake and Kendrick Lamar got on to metaphorically pulling each others' hair quite painfully, the entire world could not help but tune in. Perhaps it was simply due to the fact that it had been a while since there was a surplus of drama in the rap industry or because they could relate to being the biggest hater of someone or the other. However, as Jay Pharoah made his way to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he proved that he was a different case altogether.

Now Lamar may be the biggest hater, but Pharoah is, if definitely the best imitator. The SNL alumni seamlessly put on varying masks ranging from Shaquille O'Neal to Lamar in minutes, reminding everyone that he remains the best in the game.

When fans tuned in for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, they were expecting to see their dear and hilarious comedian Jay Pharoah as the guest, but little did they know he had brought with him a barrage of top celebrities. Just a few minutes into the show, Pharoah had put on the best imitation of Shaquille O'Neal, 50 Cent, and Jimmy Fallon himself, all the while rapping in Drake and Kendrick Lamar's diss style.

The comedian sat with Fallon to promote his new game show with unsurprisingly a hilarious name, Quiz with Balls. Pharoah is the host of the game show will air on FOX. There is more than enough reason to believe that it is going to be a sure hit owing to Pharoah's ability to cheer up the gloomiest of audiences and, of course, the enticing title that it will be known by.

Whether Jay Pharoa purposely chose a Kendrick-Drake-inspired diss to promote his new show, knowing just how many bucks that could bring is unclear, but fans have made clear that they have their eyes on the money in this monumental feud.

Owing to the nature of their exuberant lives, celebrities have often slid into scrutiny regarding their net worth. However, in the case of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud, there seems to be another reason behind the interest in the earnings of the diss tracks. The artists had removed copyright restrictions from their tracks, perhaps to see who reigns on top with such a massive audience tuned in. However, Lamar and Drake got the best of both worlds as the lifting of copyright restrictions led to more money chiming in.

It is unclear how much in total the two artists have earned with their fiery diss tracks for each other, but fans want Lamar to share the benefits with Drake. After all, as per the popular opinion, if it was not for Drake, Kendrick Lamar could not have dethroned Taylor Swift on the charts and make such big bucks. While that is up for debate, it is clear that Jay Pharoah seems to have gotten his fair share of benefits from this feud.
