In a recent twist in the ongoing back-and-forth between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Drake decided to have a little fun during a live stream with streamer Los Pollos TV. He couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at Kendrick using a meme that’s been all over social media lately.
The Origin
So, what’s the deal with this meme? It all started with Kendrick’s new album, GNX, particularly the track "TV Off," where he excitedly yells "Mustard!" right after DJ Mustard’s producer tag drops. This moment exploded online, leading to countless remixes and memes celebrating Kendrick's unexpected shoutout. It even made its way into everything from church sermons to sports commentary, showing just how much the internet loves a good laugh.
During the stream, Drake jumped in with his own twist, saying something like, “We need a donut emoji in the chat custarrrrrdddd,” while dramatically repeating “CUSTAAAARRRRRD.” It was a clever way to reference Kendrick’s shout while also poking fun at DJ Mustard’s height.
At the same time, it is important to note that this playful exchange took place while the two artists were in the middle of a rather tense rivalry. Drake took it to the courts and filed lawsuits against Universal Music Group and Spotify for what he deemed as favoritism towards Kendrick for the diss track “Not Like Us”. But this time around Drake decided to take it easy and have some fun with it.
While Kendrick was donating his time and energy to give back to the community and hand out gifts to children in Los Angeles, Drake was creating memes and providing laughter to his fans.
Fans have had mixed reactions to Drake's joke. Some found it hilarious and appreciated his creativity, while others thought it came off as a bit forced or "corny." Comments have ranged from praise for Drake’s sense of humor to critiques about his need for attention in an ever-changing hip-hop scene.

This playful exchange has sparked debates about who really holds the crown in hip-hop. Is it the artist who gives back to the community or the one who knows how to create a viral moment? In this case, it seems both are winning in their own unique ways - one through philanthropy and the other through internet culture.
In the end, Drake's mustard meme joke during the Kick stream is more than just a funny dig. It highlights how humor, rivalry, and community involvement all play a role in today’s hip-hop landscape. Whether you’re on Team Drake or Team Kendrick, one thing is for sure, this friendly feud isn’t over yet, and we can expect more laughs and maybe even more legal drama, in the future!
