Drake has shared a cryptic post referring to death and hate after being deemed by many as the loser in his battle with Kendrick Lamar.
Taking to his Instagram Stories in the early hours of Thursday morning (May 9), the 6 God posted a clip from the Netflix series A Man in Full which features veteran actor Jeff Daniels in the lead role.

In the scene, Daniels’ character says: “I don’t mean this as a criticism. Maybe I do. But when you die, will people notice?
“When I go, there are gonna be a lot of memories of me by a lot of people, many who hate me. Even so, a person needs to live with vigor. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

Many people were left thinking that the beef is over and that Drake waved the white flag following the release of his most recent diss song, “The Heart Part 6.”
This view was shared by Cam’ron, who questioned Drizzy’s spoken word outro where he dismissed Kendrick as a “worthy competitor” and challenged him to prove his sex predator allegations.

“I don’t like what Drake dropped last night because it wasn’t bad but I don’t like the way that it ended,” the Dipset legend said on his sports show It Is What It Is. “It seemed like he was [saying], ‘This is the last one I’m doing.’
“You can’t end it when you just want to end it. He’s all, ‘I’m tired of doing this,’ this, that and the third […] It don’t seem like Drake wanna battle no more.”
Fellow rapper turned media personality Joe Budden has also given the victory to Kendrick following his potent one-two combo of “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”
Weighing in on the beef on his eponymous podcast, Budden said: “I think he won this off skill. He was much better than Drake the whole way.

“All that shit [Drake] was feeding to [Akademiks], talking about, ‘Oh, it’s been 10 years.’ Nah, nah, nah — you follow it through. Don’t sound like a n-gga that’s trying to fight a losing battle! He went from, ‘Nah, nah, nah’ to, ‘I’m going on vacation’ to, ‘I’m not replying no more.’ That was the fastest change of tone.”
Drake’s cryptic post also comes shortly after his security guard was shot outside of his Toronto mansion and somebody tried to trespass onto the same property.
