Red Hot Chili Peppers Edit Kendrick Lamar Over Toronto Setlist in Instagram Post
The L.A. rockers have seemingly picked a side in the rap beef, poking fun at Drake by posting a spicy photoshop of Lamar alongside Canadian icons like Neil Young and Jim Carrey.

California, show your teeth: L.A.'s Red Hot Chili Peppers have shared a biting Instagram post about the Drake/Kendrick beef.
The '90s rockers played two shows in Toronto this past week, and following their second show on July 17, they posted a carousel with images of famous Canadians edited onto their setlist — except for one outlier.
The fifth slide on the carousel features Kendrick Lamar, in a clear insult aimed at Drake, who's embroiled in a major feud with Lamar that doesn't seem to be dying down. Lamar is featured alongside Canadian icons like Neil Young, Jim Carrey and Rick Moranis.
Find the post below, and swipe to the fifth slide for the smiling Kendrick image:
The setlist edits have become standard for the band on their current tour. They previously posted their Seattle setlist with a photo of Kurt Cobain, and Tokyo with a photo of Yoko Ono.
The Toronto show, though, gave them the opportunity to make their allegiance to L.A. clear. Fans caught the joke immediately, commenting on the post: "Even RHCP trolling Drake😭😭😭😭😭".
Drake is no stranger to trolling, having seemingly taunted ScHoolboy Q just this week. After the L.A. rapper's Toronto show at Drake-founded venue History was cancelled with no explanation, Drake posted an Instagram story of himself wearing blue slides, a possible reference to Q's single "Blueslides."
The feud between Lamar and Drake has stretched on for months, reignited by a new move every time it seems to be slowing down — it seems like the rappers are addicted to the shindig.
