Drake found himself in an unexpected spotlight even though he wasn’t at the GRAMMYs.
- Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon, took a jab at Drake during his acceptance speech.
- Kendrick Lamar’s big night at the GRAMMYs seemed to highlight old tensions.
- Online reactions were swift and varied to Lennon’s comment.
- Drake’s past comments about The Beatles might have played a part in this.
While Drake was gearing up for his tour, Sean Lennon, son of music legend John Lennon, surprisingly mentioned him during the GRAMMYs. Lennon, who accepted an award on behalf of The Beatles, used his moment on stage to advise young people against rap battles with Kendrick Lamar.
Lennon’s words, seemingly aimed at Drake, sparked reactions both in the award show audience and online. Many were surprised by the boldness of the comment, considering Drake wasn’t even present. The unexpected remark resonated quickly with social media users.
Some online commentators speculated that Sean Lennon’s remark might have been in response to Drake’s past actions. Once, Drake’s lyrics claimed he had more popular hits than The Beatles, and a tattoo of the iconic Abbey Road cover might have further aggravated Lennon.
Despite the unexpected shade thrown at Drake, the evening was a win for Kendrick Lamar. He was lauded in Lennon’s speech, collecting five awards, spotlighting his dominance in the music scene.
Drake’s prior success, which included surpassing The Beatles on the Billboard charts, might have added fuel to Lennon’s jab. Online chatter included reminiscences of Drake’s past digs at the legendary band.
The context behind Lennon’s words is important. Whether a humorous nod to the past or a deeper critique, it certainly left an impression. Lennon seemed to take the awards as an opportunity to reignite an under-the-radar rivalry.
Drake’s history with Lennon’s family remains intriguing as ever after that unexpected GRAMMY mention.
