In 2018, Drake's confidence in his hip-hop dominance faced challenges, particularly following his admission of loss in a battle against Pusha T. By 2025, the stakes heightened with Kendrick Lamar's release of "Euphoria," a track that countered Drake's earlier taunts and established a deeper animosity. Drakeâs insistence on provoking Lamar backfired, leading to ongoing repercussions in their rivalry. The article highlights 'Euphoria' as a critical moment in the escalating beef, showcasing how it impacted Drake's self-image and solidified Lamar's position in the rap battle hierarchy.
"I sleep well at night knowing I didn't get out-barred and I didn't get doned off by some crazy song." - Drake reflecting on his rap battle with Pusha T.
"Euphoria has proven to be the immovable thorn in Drake's side, and the anchor of the entire beef... his unrelenting hatred for Drake."
"Drake essentially begged Lamar to respond... claiming he was going to 'push the red button.'"
"This is why they say be careful what you wish for. 'Euphoria' still stands as the most critical song of the whole pride-driven exchange."
