After the Blue Jays showed the Toronto rapper on the scoreboard, they scored the next 11 runs to take an 11-2 lead over the Dodgers.

The 2025 World Series is set. The Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. Pop-culture enthusiasts have noted the two locations of the teams, which has stirred talk about a potential sequel to a rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

Drake signals his newest chapter with a cryptic Instagram message declaring "every action has a reaction" as his 39th birthday approaches.

The decision adds to the Second Circuit’s growing body of law on defamation claims involving rap lyrics, and offers a thorough analysis of how “rap battles” are interpreted under the law.

After having tension for over a decade, Drake and Kendrick’s feud exploded in 2024 with Lamar’s bristling assist on Future’s “Like That.” Throughout April and into May last year, the two exchanged scathing diss tracks — eight in total — with K. Dot’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Not Like Us” serving as the fatal blow.
