Kendrick Lamar’s “Mustard” Moment

Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album has been gaining popularity, especially with the song ‘TV Off’. It’s split into two distinct parts and has a dramatic beat change around the two-minute mark. Following DJ Mustard’s iconic producer tagline — ‘Mustard on the beat, ho’ — Kendrick unleashes an animated scream of ‘MUSTAAARRRDD,’ a moment that has spawned countless memes and reactions online. Fans compared the outburst to a Super Saiyan transformation, with each meme boosting the track’s chaotic energy. Brands even got in on the action, with McDonald’s sharing a photo of a Honey Mustard packet captioned, ‘Honey MUSTAARRRDD.’

Drake’s Unexpected Comment

Drake seems to have left a cryptic comment in Los Pollos’ live chat, which read, We need a donut emoji in the chat “custarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddddd.”

Fans were quick to speculate whether or not the reference was a subtle jab at Kendrick’s ‘Mustard’ reference or just an innocent craving. Considering their history of lyrical and social media sparring, some view Drake’s comment as a subtle way of poking fun at the new meme and the TV Off single while maintaining plausible deniability.

Fans Speculate on the Rivalry

While the connection between Drake and the ‘Mustard’ meme and TV Off single may seem tenuous, fans have quickly pointed out that it would be in character for him to poke fun at Kendrick. Songs, interviews, and industry rumors have highlighted their ongoing rivalry, making every interaction between the two noteworthy. Drake’s timing, whether intentional or coincidental, has added a new dimension to the online conversation about GNX.

Kendrick and Mustard’s Reaction
