It seems like things have calmed down a bit in the vs. Kendrick Lamar rap feud (at least for now). But man, the ongoing music exchange between these two hip-hop giants has really left its mark on pop culture. And get this, now even video game mods are getting in on the action Recently, a Mortal Kombat 1 enthusiast went ahead and recreated both rappers in the game to have them face off against each other. Want to see how it turned out? Well, brace yourself because, surprise surprise, Kendrick came out on top, just like in the real-life beef.
NegativeZoneNerd dropped this fun mod on Nexus Mods titled Def Jam MK1 Pack 1 – Kendrick VS Drake, a clever nod to the famous Def Jam fighting game series that featured various rappers and hip-hop artists back in the mid-2000s. That series has been dormant since 2007, so fans haven’t had the chance to see many current rappers battle it out in a fighting game. But hey, this Mortal Kombat 1 mod is a pretty good alternative. In this Pack, you can choose to be Lamar in two ways – either as a skin for Reiko or as a skin for Kung Lao. And as for Drake, well, he’s there too, as a skin for Johnny Cage, adding his own flair to the mix.

Man, have you been keeping up with the whole Drake vs. Kendrick beef? It’s been quite a show, right? People all over the internet were totally captivated, and for once, they were all on the same. But now, both of them seem to have called a ceasefire on the diss tracks. It was like the highlight of the pop culture scene in 2024, and it’s crazy that it’s only May. Isn’t it wild how folks love to see others throwing shade at each other? It reminds me of those old gladiator fights in Rome – not that they’re the same, but the intensity is there, y’know?
And hey, don’t forget to give us a like.
