Saturday Night Live took a witty plunge into the fiery rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, with a comedic twist featuring Dua Lipa's new character, Wanda Weems.
In a side-splitting sketch on the iconic show, Lipa dressed up as a culture critic for Good Morning Greenville, a morning show hosted by Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, and Devon Walker, who plays the weatherman.
Saturday Night Live Pokes Fun At Kendrick Lamar, Drake Rap Feud
In Good Morning Greenville, a fictional television morning news program set in Greenville, South Carolina, Gardner and Day enlist the help of Lipa to break down what's behind the most talked-about feud in the past few weeks -- the Drake and Lamar's rap feud.
Lipa, whose hip-hop knowledge only extends to Elton John releasing diss tracks, stood in front of a pretty elaborate crime board about Drake and Lamar's rap feud. Connected with red yarns, photos of them, and other details like Drake's OVO label and Lamar's foot size, Lipa's character unearths her "shocking" revelations, which turned out to be surface-level basic information about the rappers and their feud.
"Y'all, these diss tracks are getting insane. I've been away for the past 48 hours trying to piece it all together," Lipa told the audience.

Dua Lipa Explains Kendrick Lamar, Drake Rap Feud
In one of her revelations, she shared that on Lamar's diss track "Euphoria," Lamar described Drake as Canadian. Based on Lipa's analysis, "that's because Drake is from Toronto," prompting laughter from the live crowd.
Lipa also added that Tupac's estate threatened to sue Drake after he used the late rapper's vocals, generated through Artificial Intelligence, on one of his diss tracks against Lamar, "Taylor Made Freestyle."
After Lipa mentioned AI, Gardner and Day hilariously pulled out some cardboard cutouts of Drake and Lamar, referring to it as AI - forcing the two rappers to apologize to each other and squash the feud once and for all.
"Shame on me for doing those mean raps about you," Gardner's Kendrick told Day's Drake, who responded, "Well bless your heart for saying that. Shame on me too, I suppose."
In a week, Lamar and Drake's rap feud reached a fever pitch after the former released three diss tracks against the latter. Lamar accused Drake of preferring younger women, even calling him a pedophile.
