Kendrick Lamar Reportedly Removes Copyright Claims For Content Creators Reacting To His Drake Diss Records
One rapper has turned controversy into coins for others!
As Drake and Kendrick Lamar have recently reignited their years-long beef, creators are seizing the moment to craft compelling content. YouTube, TikTok, and other video-sharing platforms have been filled with creators weighing in on the drama between the Toronto and Compton natives. People making reaction videos is nothing new. However, what is different this time around is the public can allegedly make a few extra bucks off of their opinions on the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake drama.

According to an X post (formerly known as Twitter) from internet star Josh YourRage — a prominent streamer and YouTuber — Kendrick Lamar has reportedly waived copyright claims from his diss records aimed at Drake. This allows creators to earn financial compensation from their reactions to the tracks.
At this time, it doesn’t seem that Kendrick’s camp has confirmed the exciting claim. But in his initial post on the matter, Josh YourRage wrote,
“Kendrick removed all copyright claims away from all my reactions to his disstracks & is lettin me get paid for all of em. No label has ever done that for me so I’m thankful.”
Following this revelation, an X user asked if this was done automatically or if he requested it. Josh YourRage responded:
“Auto I didn’t request nun.”
The feud between Kendrick and Drake has spanned over a decade but went silent until the release of “Like That” on March 22nd, where Kendrick takes direct shots at Drake and J. Cole. This resulted in Drake firing back with not one, but two tracks — “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle” on April 19th. After much anticipation, Kendrick responded with his first full diss track titled “Euphoria” a week later.
Supercharged, Kendrick then released “6:16 in LA,” however, Drake soon added “Family Matters” to the battle. As if he anticipated the response, 20 minutes later, K-Dot dropped the jaw-dropping “Meet The Grahams,” which includes allegations of his arch nemesis being a predator who has a hidden 11-year-old daughter. The most recent records amid the battle were Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” and Drake’s “The Heart Part 6.”
