Kendrick Lamar has been announced as Stephen Colbert's first musical guest as he takes over as host of The Late Show. Stephen Colbert is set to start his new job on September 8th, replacing David Letterman as the host. Lamar had previously been the last artist to perform on The Colbert Report, the TV reporter’s former Comedy Central show.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar recently delivered disses at hip-hop rival Drake, on Dr. Dre's recently released album 'Compton'. On 'Deep Water' he name drops both Drake's hit 'Started From The Bottom' and recent track on his mixtape '6 God', saying: "Motherfucker know I started from the bottom" and "They liable to bury him, they nominated six to carry him/They worrying him to death, but he's no vegetarian/The beef is on his breath, inheriting the drama better than/A great white, n---a, this is life in my aquarium".
On the track 'Darkside/Gone', Lamar appears to make reference to Drake's recent track 'Energy', rapping: "But still I got enemies giving me energy I wanna fight now/Subliminally sent to me all of this hate/I thought I was holding the mic down".
Drake and Kendrick Lamar's rivalry dates back to 2013, with Lamar calling out Drake on his 'Control' guest verse.
