Ain’t never watched Dragon Ball Z?- Ice Cube’s son compares Drake/Kendrick beef to Toriyama’s masterpiece

The feud between Drake and Kendrick, much like the legendary Dragon Ball story, has been intense. Jackson Jr, a devoted fan of the series and son of American rapper Ice Cube, recently likened this clash to the epic battles within Dragon Ball. He believes that, similar to Goku’s dominance in Dragon Ball Z, Drake will eventually overshadow all those who have supported Kendrick Lamar. Jackson sees striking similarities in these captivating rivalries, where opponents constantly exchange blows until a greater force emerges.

The music industry and fans alike have been captivated by the ongoing feud between renowned hip-hop artists Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Both artists have continuously released diss tracks directed at each other.

In Dragon Ball Z, the battles between mighty characters frequently exceed the intensity of actual rivalries. O’ Shea Jackson Jr. draws a comparison between these epic confrontations and the current situation between Drake and Kendrick. He argues that the formidable adversaries, including Vegeta, Jiren, Buu, Cell, Frieza, and Beerus, consistently cause chaos and discord until the arrival of the powerful Goku, at which point they are compelled to yield.

In Jackson’s opinion, this ever-changing situation provides a valuable reminder for Drake. Instead of dwelling on conflict, Jackson advises Drake to adopt a carefree mindset and keep moving forward. He acknowledges that public interest often changes quickly and this specific disagreement will eventually fade away.

The anime universe serves as a reminder of the impermanence of conflicts and promotes a shift towards personal development and contentment.

Similarly to how Goku’s presence greatly impacted the Dragon Ball Z universe and made him the strongest entity, Jackson suggests that Drake should adopt a comparable mentality.
