Lamar and Drake have been exchanging diss tracks in a public spat for several months. Their dispute escalated when Drake sued Lamar for calling him a pedophile in his song, “Not Like Us.”

Lamar went on to perform the diss track at Super Bowl LIX, despite facing a defamation lawsuit for his lyrical accusations. He left out the word “pedophile” in the crafty diss-display, to dodge legal woes, but continued to publicly drag his arch nemesis throughout his performance.

O’Brien mimicked Lamar’s conscious diss after publicly dragging Drake on the award show stage.
