Drake appears to be ignoring his defeat to Kendrick Lamar, stating in a recently leaked song that he isn’t concerned with rap beef.
Several unreleased tracks from the 6 God’s collection surfaced on Thursday (January 2), including one where he raps: “Fuck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit.”
The upbeat, energetic song also features mentions of Lil Durk and 21 Savage (who seems to be featured on the track) as Drizzy raps: “Durk’s boy told me ‘Marvin’s Room’ was his favorite song, he was drilling to it / A thousand n-ggas rapping murder shit and like 10 n-ggas that’ll really do it / Savage, you the only n-gga checking on me when we really in some shit, brother.”
It’s unclear when Drake recorded the song or whether it was before or after his public feud with Kendrick.
The leaked batch also includes snippets of untitled collaborations between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR, likely meant for their upcoming joint album.

Although Drake stopped responding to Kendrick Lamar on wax after the mixed reception of “The Heart Part 6,” his response to “Not Like Us,” he has continued to subtly take shots at his rival through other channels.
During a November appearance on Canadian streamer xQc’s Kick channel, the Toronto artist made a defiant statement aimed at his foes.
“I’m here — mind, body, and soul fully intact, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out; fairytales won’t do it,” he proclaimed.
This seemed to refer to Kendrick’s various accusations in his diss tracks, including claims that Drake is a pedophile, associates with other sex offenders, and secretly fathered a daughter.
The Compton rapper responded to these claims in a text conversation with a close friend that was shared online, saying: “He trippin??!”
Recently, Drake also mocked Kendrick’s “Euphoria” lyric, “When I see you stand by Sexyy Red, I believe you see two bad bitches,” during a Christmas giveaway stream with Adin Ross.
Kendrick, for his part, has remained mostly quiet since being deemed the victor of their rap battle, though fans have noticed possible subtle jabs in his GNX album and Super Bowl announcement video.
