Drake joked that since his favorite team was out, he’s trying cricket for the first time and supporting KKR. He used the team’s slogan, “Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo,” which means “We will do, fight, win” in Bengali.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be facing Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. Kolkata secured their place by defeating Sunrisers earlier, but Sunrisers got another chance by finishing as one of the top two teams in the points table. They defeated Rajasthan Royals to secure their spot in the final.
Kolkata Knight Riders have a good history in IPL finals, having reached the final four times, including this season. They won the IPL twice under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir, who is now the team’s mentor.
In other news, there was a rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar at the Hollywood Bowl. The battle got intense as both artists made bold claims about each other. Seth Rogen, a comedian and actor who hosted the event, declared Kendrick Lamar as the winner. He explained that Drake lost because he used defensive lyrics when faced with certain allegations.
Seth Rogen’s explanation was shared on X (formerly Twitter), where he mentioned that once an artist starts denying allegations like being a registered sex offender in a rap song, they’ve lost the battle. Many users agreed with Rogen’s assessment, saying that accusations like those should be taken seriously and Drake’s response wasn’t convincing.
Overall, Drake is supporting KKR in the IPL final, while he faced a defeat in a rap battle against Kendrick Lamar, according to Seth Rogen’s assessment.
