From the looks of it, the dust has settled in the lyrical war between Drake and Kendrick Lamar after the general consensus is that the Compton MC emerged victorious after a furious diss track back-and-forth. But the collateral damage from one of the fiercest bar beatdowns in recent history continues to spill out.

On Tuesday, pictures emerged of the vandalized front window of Drizzy’s London OVO store, which an unknown person (or persons) tagged with the line “they not like us” from what, so far, seems to be the final word in the battle from K.Dot’s withering “Not Like Us.”

The glass window at the front of the shop on London’s iconic Carnaby Street was hit with the silver paint jab featuring the phrase that has become a battle cry for Lamar supporters in the days since its release. At press time it did not appear as if anyone had taken credit for the tag and officials had not announced any arrests in the incident.

Following Saturday’s release of “Not Like Us” — which reportedly broke the Spotify record for the most-streamed rap song in a single day on Tuesday — it seemed like Lamar had settled things before Drake dropped the dismissive “The Heart Pt. 6” on Sunday. The London defacement came on the same day that Toronto Police confirmed that an unnamed security guard working outside Drake’s Toronto mansion was transported to a local with “serious injuries” that were not life-threatening after reports of a shooting by an unknown assailant who fled the scene in a vehicle. Drake was uninjured in the incident and the Associated Press reported that police are attempting to identify the assailant in the drive-by.

In This Season of Giving, Mariah Carey Shares Throwback Clip From 1994 Manifesting a Potential Christmas Classic One Day: ‘So Grateful’

MC only had to wait 25 years for her all-time holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas. The pop singer has lorded over the holiday charts for the past six years with her ubiquitous wintertime classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It seems hard to believe it now if you’ve been anywhere near a store since Halloween, but the yuletide favorite that was released in 1994 did not chart until 2000 and did not hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2019, fully 25 years after it first hit our ears.

Now, as the holidays really ramp up, the best-selling Christmas song of all time in the U.S. seems like a no-brainer to top the charts every year. But on Tuesday (Dec. 9), MC gave thanks for how it all started in a throwback video she re-posted from a fan feed of an interview she did in 1994 in which she was asked if she hopes one of the songs from her first holiday album, that year’s Merry Christmas, might some day be as ubiquitous as such standards as “White Christmas” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
