Dua Lipa dives into the clashing between Drake and Kendrick Lamar in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit.
On her debut hosting gig at the weekend, Lipa humorously portrayed a local critic named Wanda Weems during a satirical sketch on 'Good Morning Greenville'. Referring to the ongoing beef between Drake and Lamar, she joked how the feud between the two artists had escalated with some intense diss tracks. To explain this to fellow cast members Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day, who played the clueless morning show co-anchors, she pointed out a map with photos of the two artists connected by red yarn and declared, "Y'all, these diss tracks are getting insane."
Her impressive sleuthing skills were showcased when she discovered what she considered as a crucial hint in Lamar's song "Euphoria". As if it was a shocking revelation, she exclaimed, "When Kendrick describes Drake as Canadian, that's because Drake is from Toronto." She then elaborated, making a reference to Drake's recent track "Push Ups", "he questioned Kendrick's manhood, saying he wears a size seven shoe."
The sketch was believed to be inspired by the latest diss tracks released by both artists, with Lamar's digs at Drake and J. Cole in his verse on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" being the main catalyst. The tiffs between Drake and Lamar have now been going on for awhile, with the former beginning as far back as 2013 when Lamar fired shots at both of them on Big Sean's "Control".
Lipa took on a double role in that 'SNL' episode, serving as host as well as the musical guest. Maya Rudolph will take over hosting duties this week, with Vampire Weekend lined up as musical guests. 'SNL' airs on NBC at 11:30pm EDT/8:30pm PDT.
