“Kendrick’s La Dodgers Just Body bagged Drake’s Blue Jays — Hip-Hop Beef Hits the Ballpark”
Man, 2025 has been wild we’ve seen rap beefs spill into diss tracks, Instagram lives, and even NBA courts… but now? Baseball? Yeah, believe it or not, Kendrick Lamar’s Los Angeles Dodgers just schooled Drake’s beloved Toronto Blue Jays, and hip-hop fans everywhere are clowning.
Let’s set the scene. The Dodgers, a team built on legacy think Jackie Robinson breaking barriers in that Dodger blue — versus the Blue Jays, Canada’s pride since ‘77, with two shiny World Series rings from the early ‘90s. The Jays have always been that underdog team: flashy when hot, heartbreaking when cold. But after last night’s whoopin’, Toronto fans are crying into their OVO hoodies.
Now, if you’ve been following the real championship the Drake vs. Kendrick saga this game hit different. Drake’s been repping Toronto harder than maple syrup since “Views,” while Kendrick’s been waving the Compton flag proudly for the West Coast. Their lyrical war this year was one for the ages: bars, subliminals, leaks, diss tracks the whole thing felt like Pac and Biggie 2.0 (minus the tragedy, thank God).
So when the Dodgers stomped out the Jays, hip-hop Twitter had a field day. Memes of Drake sitting in the dugout with “It’s All a Blur” tears. Kendrick gifs saying “They not like us” every time L.A. scored. Someone even edited Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” beat under the Dodgers’ highlight reel I ain’t gonna lie, I replayed that clip ten times.
The symbolism was too perfect. The Dodgers, like Kendrick disciplined, technical, calm under pressure. The Blue Jays, like Drake — stylish, marketable, always performing but sometimes folding when it’s time to really deliver.
And yeah, I say this as a 33-year-old who grew up bumpin’ “Take Care” in my mom’s Honda, but at this point, I gotta admit: the West Coast won this round on the mic and on the mound.
Sorry, Drizzy. Baseball don’t lie.
Maybe next season Toronto can get its groove back but for now, the Dodgers and Kendrick are sitting on top, sipping something smooth and humming:
🎶 “They not like us…” 🎶
