Drake can be willing to settle his legendary rap feud with Kendrick Lamar within the boxing ring, but doesn’t want it broadcast.
The 2 music moguls have had considered one of the defining beefs of this generation of rap, with diss tracks on either side transcending their rivalry. Drake is understood to coach boxing, while Kendrick has a limited background in the game but has been trained before.
Speaking with Adin Ross on a Kick stream, the Canadian was asked about who he would fight if he were to participate in a star boxing match. While he didn’t name Lamar specifically, he laughed on the obviousness of the reply to the query.
Drake desires to fight Kendrick Lamar behind closed doors
During an appearance on a promotional Kick stream for a betting website, Drake was asked by Adin Ross if he would ever take a fight. He asked who would make a very good opponent, and inside seconds laughed at the concept that there could be any multiple answer.
“Would you ever get in there?” Ross asked, to which Drake replied “No”. Asked what “the bag” would must be, he stopped himself before even asking who would make sense. “If we were fighting it will be at Hino’s gym or something like that behind closed garage doors.”
The Hino he refers to is Nigerian pro boxer Hino Ehikhamenor, who has trained the Canadian musician up to now. Plainly after the pair each made hundreds of thousands from their rap beef, Drake doesn’t want the fight to make anyone else any money.
Adin Ross told to get out of MMA by UFC boss Dana White
Ross, after all, could only dream of bringing such a monumental fight to life in his recent Brand Risk Promotions, which brought influencer MMA to life for the primary time on Friday night. He runs the events out of a luxurious Miami warehouse, with celebrities repeatedly attending.
He was joined within the commentary booth on Friday night by UFC boss Dana White and his right hand man Hunter Campbell. The trio joked and looked as if it would rejoice in the course of the live stream, but White was blunt together with his advice when asked by the fledgling promoter what he should do.
The UFC CEO and soon-to-be boxing supremo replied that Ross should “stay out of this business, it’s not as easy because it looks”. Ross looked as if it would take it well, laughing off the concept and telling White that he “may need to return to boxing.”
