The Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud is two years old, but that doesn’t stop the speculation that it will kick up again with Drake putting out a new album.<\/p>\n

However, any imagery you see about Lamar putting out an album called Fireman in response to Drake’s Iceman is false. There is no reporting out there that Lamar is making a Drake counter-album called Fireman that comes out on the literal same day, May 15, as Drake’s Iceman.<\/p>\n

While Drake may address the Lamar feud on the album, sparking a Lamar reply, there’s no truth to any of this Fireman nonsense. Drake might be entering a beef with Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams<\/a>, but the Lamar-Drake beef doesn’t seem to be reigniting right now with dueling albums.<\/p>\n

This Fireman stuff is all just a joke.<\/p>\n
