Drake’s “Rap Is A Joke” Post Sparks Debate

Despite the apparent slowing down of his recent beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake continues to keep fans guessing with his cryptic social media posts.

On Saturday (July 13) evening, the “Family Matters” rapper shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of himself wearing a “Rap Is A Joke” shirt. While some fans speculated the post was a reference to the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt, others focused on the deeper meaning behind Drake’s choice of attire.

“‘Drake, here’s how they gone come at you… wit silly rap feuds tryna distract you’-Hov,” commented Hitman Holla, hinting that Drake may be using the beef to distract from other matters. Another user remarked, “No beats to drop, no lines to pen, just peaceful silence and his bed,” suggesting Drake is choosing to remain quiet rather than engage further.

Over on X, the debate surrounding the “Rap Is A Joke” shirt’s significance intensified, with one fan accusing Drake of having a “sore loser mentality” and never truly respecting rap. However, another user argued that Drake was paying homage to the culture of battle rap, a reference Kendrick Lamar himself would have likely appreciated.

It was later revealed that the shirt was actually part of a recent merch collection by the parody rap group Rap Is A Joke, known for poking fun at the music industry’s hypocrisies. As always, Drake’s strategic approach leaves fans guessing about his next move.

Despite teasing new music recently, the rapper has not provided a timeline for any upcoming releases. The silence from Drake has only fueled speculation about how he plans to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track, which continues to chart and break records. Fans remain eager to see how the rap superstars will navigate the next chapter of their ongoing feud.
