Drake to Kendrick: 'You need facts to take me out, fairy tales won't do it'

Drake made a surprise appearance on popular Twitch streamer XQC's broadcast this evening, and during the visit, the Toronto rapper didn't hold back, using the platform to allude to several ongoing industry beefs and share updates about upcoming projects.

Most notably, Drake appeared to take aim at Kendrick Lamar, declaring:

"You need facts to take me out. Fairy tales won't do it."

Drake also announced his 'Anita Max Wynn' tour coming to Australia for the first time in 8 years on Sunday, February 9th, the exact same day as Super Bowl Sunday, where Kendrick is scheduled to perform at the half time show.

The stream took an awkward turn when a track by The Weeknd began playing, prompting Drake to request an immediate song change. This moment particularly stood out given the well-documented falling out between the former Toronto collaborators.

In what seemed to be an evening of addressing rivals, Drake also took time to label Steve Lacy a "fragile opp," adding another name to his growing list of industry tensions.

It wasn't all conflict, though. Drake shared some positive news for fans, confirming that his highly anticipated collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR is "75% complete." This revelation marks a potential return to the R&B-influenced sound that characterized some of his earlier work with the OVO artist.
