Drake is attempting to “restrict” Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl halftime show, according to Wack 100.
During a livestream over the weekend, the controversial music manager claimed that Drizzy was using legal tactics to impact Kendrick’s widely-anticipated Super Bowl performance next year in New Orleans.
“He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick,” Wack said.
He also claimed that Drake has served Kendrick with a cease and desist order in an attempt to prevent him from performing his chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us.”
It is not known why or how Drake could stop Kendrick from performing the song, given the Compton superstar has already performed the track live and it is widely available on streaming services.
Wack did not also divulge where he got his information from, but said JAY-Z — who helps organize the halftime show — would not allow K. Dot to be censored by Drake or the NFL.
Earlier this month, K. Dot was announced as the Super Bowl halftime show act for next year’s big game in New Orleans.
During the announcement, which saw Kendrick standing in front of an American flag on a football field, firing off passes to an unseen receiver, many thought he was taking more shots at Drake.
“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” he said as part of the formal announcement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
He also said in the promo video: “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship; no round twos.”

The “no round twos” line seemed to be a direct call back to a Rasheed Wallace interview clip that Drake previously posted in which the former Detroit Pistons star promised a game two victory against the Indiana Pacers in the 2004 NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
The 6 God also appeared to side with the view that Lil Wayne should’ve been given the nod over Kendrick at next year’s Super Bowl.
As the game will be held in Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans, many fans and industry figures were hoping the rap legend would be picked to perform.
