Amid the ongoing rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, actor and comedian Seth Rogen mocked the Canadian rapper for using defensive lyrics against Lamar, who threw "s*x offender" allegations at him. At his show at the Hollywood Bowl, on May 7, Rogen mockingly spoke about Drake and said,
"I'd say as soon as you're asserting in a rap song that you should not be a registered s*x offender, you've lost the rap battle."
Kendrick Lamar accused Drake of being a p*dophile in Not Like Us. In response, Drake released The Heart Part 6, where he defends himself and mentions that he'd be arrested if he did something like that, as he is that famous. Seth, in his set, further added that defensive rapping is not that common in rap battles.

On May 7, comedian and actor Seth Rogen had a show at the Hollywood Bowl, under Netflix Is A Joke Fest. His comedy set garnered attention on social media platforms like X, formerly known as Twitter, where he was talking about the ongoing rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Rogen started by explaining the beef to the audience, and said,
"There're two very famous rappers- Drake and Kendrick Lamar and they are in a fight right now. They're in a big fight with each other."
He further mockingly said that the way rappers usually "fight with each other" is by coming up with "mean lines" about each other. He continued explaining the beef by saying,
"It started with Drake and he made a song about the other guy where he was like 'you're not as successful as I'm.'... Kendrick, the other guy, he came back and he was like 'I hate the way you dress man'."
Seth Rogen then addressed Lamar's allegations against Drizzy about being a terrible father and a s*x offender. That was when Rogen mockingly said that the Canadian rapper lost the battle as soon as started defending himself in his diss track. Rogen further said these personal attacks have now become hit songs that often "get recommended to his mother" on iTunes.
Netizens have reacted to Seth Rogen's statements. A user responded by saying that Drake was right in defending the allegations because those were serious ones. The user wrote,
"P*dophile accusations are nothing to play with... Drake is right to come out clean, and defend himself. And for the record, The Heart Part 6 >>> Not Like Us."
A few others wrote that Rogen commented without knowing the entire story. A user wrote,
"That was so funny I forgot to laugh."
