Drake Releases 'Fighting Irish' Freestyle Addressing Kendrick Lamar Feud

The track, shared in a now-deleted video by producer Conductor Williams, appears to critique those who supported Lamar during their public dispute.

Drake's new freestyle 'Fighting Irish' debuted in a 20-minute YouTube video by Conductor Williams but was quickly taken down, sparking fan speculation and viral sharing on social media.
The track includes pointed lyrics that seem to reference Drake's 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar, criticizing individuals who switched allegiances during the conflict, including NBA stars like LeBron James.
Drake also addresses allegations from Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us,' denying claims of a drinking problem and criticizing Universal Music Group, which he is suing over alleged defamation and manipulated streaming numbers.
The freestyle's title, 'Fighting Irish,' is speculated to nod to LeBron James's high school basketball team, adding another layer to the perceived critique of James's actions during the feud.
Drake and Conductor Williams have previously collaborated on tracks from Drake's 2023 album 'For All The Dogs,' and there are unconfirmed reports of a potential joint album in the works.
