DRAKE FANS BELIEVE HE JUST DISSED KENDRICK LAMAR WITH A PINOCCHIO REFERENCE ON “ICEMAN” LIVESTREAM
Did Drake Just Troll Kendrick Lamar Again? Fans Think So. Drake has once again set the internet ablaze and this time, it’s not just because of his music.
While premiering his brand-new single, “Which One,” on a livestream for his upcoming album “Iceman,” the Toronto rapper was seen running through the streets of Manchester with someone dressed as Pinocchio chasing him.
Now, fans are convinced that the symbolic stunt was a direct jab at none other than Kendrick Lamar, reviving their viral rap feud that has defined much of hip-hop this year.
“Pinocchio” Symbolism: Does It Mean Drake Sends A Message?
The Pinocchio moment wasn’t just random or so many believe. Social media users quickly jumped in with wild yet compelling theories. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “It’s a metaphor for all the lies in his raps.”
Another fan even posted a photo of Kendrick Lamar, captioning it, “This is Pinocchio, and remember Kendrick has the shortest legs that’s why he couldn’t catch up to Drake.”
Clearly, fans are reading between the lines, and Drake’s choice to include this visual during a live music event is fueling serious speculation. Could this be Drake’s subtle way of calling Kendrick a liar? Or is it just another playful stunt from the Certified Lover Boy?

While some fans found the Pinocchio scene clever, others were less impressed. One user voiced what many might be thinking: “I ain’t got a dog in this fight but this some cornball sht frankly.”
Another added, “I wish buddy could just move on and drop heat that ain’t got sht to do with Dot (Kendrick Lamar). He super talented but the obsession is looking desperate af. Sore loser attitude for sure!”
Clearly, public opinion is divided some admire Drake’s commitment to storytelling and subtle disses, while others feel he should bury the hatchet and move on.
“Which One” Ft. Central Cee: The Second Single From “Iceman”
Despite the drama, one thing that can’t be ignored is the hype around Drake’s upcoming album, Iceman. “Which One,” featuring UK rap star Central Cee, is the second official single from the project.
The first single, “What Did I Miss?,” is still sitting comfortably inside the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 proof that fans are still hungry for Drake’s music, even as his feud with Kendrick lingers in the background.

In “What Did I Miss?”, Drake didn’t hold back from referencing his personal life. He called out NBA stars DeMar DeRozan and LeBron James, two former friends who recently attended Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 “Pop Out” concert.
Drake rapped:
“I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been dick riding gang since ‘Headlines'”
It’s clear there’s some real-life tension hereand he’s using his music to air out grievances, making “Iceman” one of his most personal albums in recent memory.
