Seth Meyers Delivers Brutal Message To Drake After Kendrick Lamar's Grammy Wins
HuffPost
The late-night host linked Lamar’s rap feud with Drake to an unexpected political clash — before delivering his own punchline.
After Kendrick Lamar won big at this year’s Grammys for his diss track “Not Like Us,” Seth Meyers took a jab at Drake amid the rappers’ viral beef.
During Monday night’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the comedian referenced Lamar and Drake’s quarrel while talking about another major public rift — President Donald Trump’s brewing trade wars with Canada, Mexico and China.
Meyers kicked off his “A Closer Look” segment by showing a clip of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s response to Trump’s now briefly paused tariffs on Canada and Mexico during a Feb. 1 press conference.
Trudeau implied that the Republican president was acting without Americans’ support for targeting a neighbor and longtime ally.
“I don’t think there’s a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, ‘Ugh, damn Canada,’” Trudeau said.
