Despite starting out as friends, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have become bitter rivals in the music industry. While both have taken sly digs at each other over the years, their latest beef has the entire internet on the edge of their seats. That paired with a couple of boxing training clips that went viral recently on social media has people speculating who would win if they fought. 

In a recent pinch, ‘K-Dot’ stirred up controversy through his uncredited verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s song ‘Like That,’ where he took shots at Drake and J. Cole. It was in response to a verse from Cole, where he rapped, Love when they argue the hardest MC / Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me? / We the big three like we started a league, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali.”

Responding to this verse, Lamar dismissed the idea that J.Cole, Drake, and he are on the same level. Lamar rapped, “Motherf*** the big three, n***a, it’s just big me. / N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that / And your best work is a light pack.” Moreover, amid this whole situation, Happy Punch shared a clip of Lamar and Drake side-by-side training in their boxing gyms.
