Comedian Conan O’Brien mocked the long-standing feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar during a recent broadcast of the 2025 Oscars. During a lighthearted moment, O’Brien jokingly stated that it was time for Lamar to call out Drake as a “pedophile” on stage.
The joke sparked a reference to Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2024, where he performed his dis track “Not Like Us,” which accuses Drake of being a pedophile. The song’s lyrics were teased from the start of the performance, leaving fans wondering if Lamar would actually perform the part that calls out Drake by name.
Although Lamar did not say the full line, he still delivered some brutal insults towards Drake during his halftime show, including references to the rapper’s 2021 album “Certified Lover Boy.” The crowd responded enthusiastically to one of these lines.
O’Brien also took aim at other celebrities on Sunday’s broadcast, making jokes about Karla Sofía Gascón’s use of profanity in her film “Anora” and referencing Timothée Chalamet’s infamous bike safety issue before his movie premiere.
