Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered for the Oscars on Sunday night (March 2), but it wasn’t just films making headlines—Conan O’Brien took a jab at one of music’s most heated feuds.
About two hours into the ceremony, O’Brien delivered a punchline that had the audience buzzing:
"Well, we’re halfway through the show, which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile."
The joke referenced Lamar’s viral Super Bowl performance, where he took direct aim at Drake while performing his diss track "Not Like Us." The moment was made even more notable by the presence of Serena Williams on stage—Williams, who was once romantically linked to Drake, added another layer of intrigue to the ongoing beef.
Before launching into the track, Lamar addressed Drake’s legal battle with Universal Music Group over the song, slyly remarking, "I want to play their favorite song, but you know they love to sue." He also had the crowd chant the now-infamous line, "Why you trollin’ like a …" before cutting off the final word, "b***?,"* then adding, "Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor."
With Lamar and Drake’s feud dominating pop culture conversations, O’Brien’s joke proved that the rivalry had transcended hip-hop, making waves even on Hollywood’s biggest night.
