Early on in both of their careers, Kendrick, 36, was featured on the Drake, 37, cut \u201cBuried Alive Interlude\u201d from his album\u00a0<em>Take Care<\/em>. K.Dot also served as the opener on Drake\u2019s 2012 tour, and Drizzy made an appearance on Kendrick\u2019s song \u201cPoetic Justice\u201d from 2012\u2019s\u00a0<em>Good Kid, M.A.A.D.

Though there was some back and forth and speculation that one of Drake\u2019s songs was a response to \u201cControl,\u201d the beef mostly went dormant for about a decade. As Kendrick dropped \u201ceuphoria\u201d at the end of April 2024, tons of fans were drawn into the feud between the two.
