Dua Lipa finds herself navigating through the latest flurry of “diss tracks” exchanged between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar, as depicted in a lively sketch on “Saturday Night Live.”
In her debut as host this past weekend, Lipa delved into the ongoing feud between Drake and Lamar while portraying a local culture critic named Wanda Weems on a sketch called “Good Morning Greenville.”
“Wow, these diss tracks are really heating up,” Lipa remarked, standing in front of a wall adorned with photos of Drake and Lamar connected by red yarn.
In a comical attempt to explain the feud to her oblivious co-anchors Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day, Lipa made light of the situation, pointing out subtle details from Lamar’s song “Euphoria” and Drake’s recent track “Push Ups.”
The sketch was inspired by the recent exchange of diss tracks between the two artists, sparked by Lamar’s pointed verses about Drake and J. Cole in the song “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin.
Drake and Lamar have been trading jabs on various tracks, though they weren’t always at odds. They previously collaborated on songs like “Buried Alive Interlude” in 2011 and “Poetic Justice” in 2012. However, tensions arose as far back as 2013, when Lamar first targeted Drake and other rappers in his verse on Big Sean’s “Control.”
Lipa pulled double duty on “SNL” as both host and musical guest. Maya Rudolph is slated to host the upcoming episode with Vampire Weekend as the musical guest.
“SNL” airs on NBC at 11:30 p.m. EDT/8:30 p.m. PDT.
