Toronto rap star Drake has fired back at Kendrick Lamar by adopting the 69 God moniker during a recent outing at a bowling alley.
Over the weekend, Drake went bowling with friends, and in a clip posted online, the rapper’s name on the venue’s screen read 69 God.
The reference harks back to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us, where Kendrick repeatedly rapped the line, “Freaky ass n-gga, he a 69 God,” making allegations about Drake’s personal life and even insinuating more serious accusations.

Palmer wondered aloud about the negative connotation, suggesting that being a “69 God” implied a reciprocal nature in relationships, which she saw as positive. Her caption humorously questioned what she might be missing, further stirring public curiosity.
