Hollywood and its adjacent music industry repay their fans’ curiosities with more than enough celebrity gossip and online chatter. However, it is a rare thing to hear the names of Jake Paul, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar in a single sentence. The industry, despite the improbability of such a scenario, makes it happen without a hitch.
In a recent development, fans learn of Jake Paul’s investment in the ongoing Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar situation. In reply, the crossover boxing champ isn’t too shy in taking sides and naming a favorite. As the boxer now makes his preferences clear and his demands heard, fans cannot wait for the possibility of witnessing Drake and Lamar duking it out in the field of combat sports.
Jake Paul Takes a Side in Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar Fight
As time evolves, it is not enough for Hollywood artists to remain within their set limits and marked boundaries after having mastered their field. Often, that makes for weird crossovers where we see actors turning into politicians and rappers training to fight in the ring. For Jake Paul, one of the biggest names in the boxing scenario right now, a phenomenal opportunity serves itself up on a silver platter.
When asked about his opinion on the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar beef, and whether he would ever put the two in a card together, Jake Paul responds during an interview at the MVP Boxing event in AT&T stadium:
“What’s a prince to a king? That’s all I gotta say. But I’ve seen Drake got hands and if they wanted to tussle, we would be Team Drake. Train them up crunk style and he would sleep size seven.”
The rivalry between the award-winning Canadian rapper and his American counterpart is well-known by now, even by those not familiar with the industry. But just as Jake Paul has been caught on the radar of fans for his familiarity with combat boxing, Drake and Lamar too have been caught in a loop that circles their infamous diss tracks and competitiveness in outperforming the other.
Kendrick Lamar Should Respond to Jake Paul’s Comments
In a heated world of instant gratification, fans rarely wait to witness the rise and fall of men while the great ones busy themselves with kicking ass and taking names. For Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the arena of a hypothetical showdown match fits perfectly with their off-ring rivalry. Most recently, that too has manifested in terms of the infamous Drake diss track that even Pusha-T admitted went too far and apologized to the fans for a lack of judgment on his part.
While fans go above and beyond in praying that the hypothetical match soon turns itself into a reality, it might not happen sooner than expected given the current scenario in the world of boxing. As Jake Paul trains himself up for a showdown with the legendary Mike Tyson, his company — Most Valuable Promotions — can promote the fight for its weight in name alone. In comparison to the fight against Tyson, Drake versus Kendrick Lamar doesn’t seem too much of a reach in the realm of possibilities.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout will be streamed globally on Netflix and is scheduled to take place on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
