Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Declares Drake and Kendrick Lamar Battle Over

Drake seemingly waving the white flag comes after Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith declared their battle is over.

On Friday (May 10), Tiffith hopped on X, formerly known as Twitter, and expressed his feelings of relief and gratitude over the end of their lyrical rivalry.

“This battle is over. A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax,” he wrote in his post, which can be viewed below. “Especially when these publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That’s a victory within itself. On another note, it’s time to wrap up this TDE 20yr anniversary compilation.”

It’s unclear if Tiffith actually got confirmation from Kendrick, who left the famed West Coast label in 2021, that the rap battle was over. However, some fans are uncertain whether their lyrical feud has truly come to an end.
