Drake Seemingly Responds to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ With ’10 Things I Hate About You’ Clip

It appears Drizzy may be a fan of the 1999 film.

Drake might be from Canada, but his American pop culture references have continued to be on point.

All eyes were on the 6 God following Kendrick Lamar’s scathing diss track “Euphoria” arrived on Tuesday morning (April 30). Drizzy appeared to laugh off K. Dot’s threats by bringing actress Julia Stiles into the feud.


Drake posted a clip to his Instagram Story on Tuesday night from 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You, featuring a scene to close out the classic rom-com with Stiles’ character Kat reading a poem listing everything she hates about Heath Ledger’s Patrick. However, the clip cuts off before she admits she doesn’t hate him at all, which Drizzy captioned it with a wink-face and broken-heart emoji, with no direct mention of Kendrick.

“I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick — it even makes me rhyme! I hate it, I hate the way you’re always right,” she spews.

“I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call.”

With the clip on Instagram Stories, Drake appears to be making light of Kendrick’s bars on “Euphoria,” on which the latter admits to being Drizzy’s “biggest hater” and disses the way he walks, talks and dresses.

“I’m the biggest hater / I hate the way that you walk / the way that you talk / I hate the way that you dress/ I hate the way that you sneak diss / if I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct,” Lamar raps.

It’s not the first pop-culture reference Drake has made in the rap civil war. In April, he recalled his “Push Ups” lyric asking, “Is this a 20-v-1” by posting a photo of Uma Thurman from Kill Bill surrounded by enemies bracing for a sword fight.

The 53-year-old actress responded through an Instagram Story of her own featuring a photo of the iconic suit from the movie, asking if Drake had any use for it. “Need this? @champagnepapi,” she wrote.

Drake replied: “Yes pls. The pen is the Hattori Hanzo.”

Following the arrival of “Euphoria,” which saw Kendrick attack the 6 God’s biracial identity, fatherhood and artistry, the ball is back in Drake’s court.

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
