Drake changes Knife Talk lyric at Australia concert after Kendrick Lamars Super Bowl show

Drake is still breathing.The “One Dance” singer, 38, appeared to subtly respond to Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl performance by changing a lyric in his song “Knife Talk” at his concert in Melbourne, Australia on Monday.In footage from the show, Drake rapped, “Beef is live, spoiler alert — I never died.”But the original lyrics to the song are, “Beef is live, spoiler alert — this n – – – a dies.”“Knife Talk” came out in 2021 as part of Drake’s album “Certified Lover Boy.”The lyric change happened one day after Lamar, 37, went after Drake during the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans.After teasing “Not Like Us” throughout the performance, Lamar finally sang the track that has come to define his feud with Drake.However, Lamar changed a portion of the song by altering the word “pedophile.”Instead of spitting “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” Lamar went silent at the part where he would normally rap “pedophile.”But Lamar still got his message across inside Caesars Superdome as he served two of the song’s other brutal bars: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young / You better not ever go to cell block one.”He then rapped, “Why you trollin’ like a …,” leaving out the word, “bitch?” before adding, “Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”Lamar also antagonized Drake by wearing an “a” chain necklace that seemingly referenced his “A minor” lyric and recruiting Drake’s ex, Serena Williams, to be a surprise guest.Hours before the Super Bowl, Drake held his own concert in Melbourne where he gave $45,000 to fans in the audience.He also shared a heartfelt message to the packed crowd, saying, “It really touches my heart that—through all of that, you still take your hard-earned money, and you spend some of that money on tickets to this show to see this kid from Canada get up here and talk s – – t.

I really appreciate you.I would be nothing...
