Drake has seemingly escalated his feud with Kendrick Lamar with his response to a crowd chant during Wireless Festival in London.
The rappers' feud has lasted for over a decade, and it doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Lamar previously declared he was 'choosing violence', which led to Drake responding to the song shorty after during an on-stage performance in March.
Addressing the audience at the time, Drake could be heard telling everyone that no-one could 'f**k with me', in what many believed was a direct reference to Lamar.

Drake's legal team had filed a defamation lawsuit against his own record label Universal Music Group for releasing 'Not Like Us'.
Without naming Kendrick in the suit, it alleges that the claims in the song were baseless and harmful to his career.
Universal, which has been Drake's record label for over a decade, said: "Not only are these claims untrue, but the notion that we would seek to harm the reputation of any artist - let alone Drake - is illogical."
The suit has seemingly been on the back burners in the past couple of months, but knowing Drake and Lamar, this feud is far from over.
Drake was headlining Wireless Festival in the UK over the weekend, where chants of 'F*** Kendrick' erupted across the festival.
Well, Drake did not exactly discourage the crowd, saying back: "Chubbs, grab me a shot. I'll drink to that," which brought about a ton of cheers from those in attendance.
UNILAD has reached out to Drake and Lamar's representatives for comment.
The rappers once shared mutual respect and friendship in the beginning. It was enough for Drake to invite Kendrick to support him on his 2011 Club Paradise headline tour, anyway.
This was back when Drake's 'Take Care' was topping the charts and Kendrick actually featured on 'Buried Alive Interlude' from Drake's second studio album, also named Take Care.
The favor was returned and Drake also appeared on Lamar's 2012 track 'Poetic Justice' in good kid, M.A.A.d city.
However, it has been all rather bitter since.
The pair have released diss tracks aimed at each other, with Lamar claiming that Drake has a secret daughter - which led to the Canadian rapper issuing a response to the allegation.
Another diss track saw Lamar accuse Drake of being a 'certified p*dophile', which led to the 'One Dance' singer launching the defamation and harassment lawsuit.
