The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has taken a surprising turn in the past six weeks, with both artists releasing diss tracks directed at each other. Kendrick Lamar started things off with his track “Euphoria” which took aim at Drake, and the Canadian rapper quickly responded with his own diss track titled “Family Matters” on Friday.
One unexpected twist in the feud came when Kendrick Lamar mentioned a Toronto restaurant, New Ho King, in his diss track. The mention of the restaurant in Chinatown led to a flood of five-star reviews on Yelp and Google, with many praising the establishment for its delicious food and friendly service.
What made these positive reviews even more interesting was the fact that many of them were written by people who had never actually eaten at New Ho King before. It seems that the mention in Kendrick Lamar’s track brought the restaurant into the spotlight, drawing new customers who wanted to see what all the hype was about.
As the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake continues to escalate, it’s clear that their words are having a real-world impact. Whether it’s through their music or a casual mention of a local restaurant, these two artists have the power to influence people in unexpected ways. And who knows, maybe New Ho King will become the go-to spot for hip-hop fans looking to grab a bite to eat in Toronto’s Chinatown.
