Drake is almost definitely in his feelings following the conclusion of the 2025 World Series, which resulted in his home team losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who gladly took the opportunity to troll the rapper after their victory by using some Kendrick Lamar lyrics. After triumphing over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 on Sunday (Nov. 2), the Cali team shared a group photo of the players and staff wearing “World Series Champions” shirts. “THEY STILL NOT LIKE US,” the Dodgers wrote in the caption, quoting Dot’s famous Billboard Hot 100-topping diss track against Drizzy. The ribbing comes after Drake spent much of the World Series trolling the L.A. team’s star player, Shohei Ohtani, on social media. Following Game 5, the Toronto native had shared a picture on his Instagram Story of the pitcher wearing a sweater vest and wrote, “ONE MORE!!!!!!!,” after which he posted a photo the Jays’ Trey Yesavage striking out Ohtani and gloating: “Savage already [on the way] to the dugout boss lol.” Drake was then in attendance at Game 6 on Friday (Oct. 31), which ended with a Dodgers win. After the team won again two days later, securing the World Series trophy, Champagne Papi shared a diplomatic post on Instagram, writing, “Congrats to the Jays for a dream season and a legendary World Series fight!!!” The Dodgers, however, weren’t the only ones eager to tease Drake after their big victory. Nike also trolled the rapper post-game by sharing a cinematic montage of the L.A. team set to “Not Like Us,” while Fox Sports posted an edited photo of Lamar driving off with the World Series trophy, leaving a disappointed-looking Drake in the dust. The repeated use of “Not Like Us” to drag Drake definitely adds insult to injury, as the musician’s headline-grabbing defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the song’s lyrics was recently dismissed by a judge. At the end of October, however, Drizzy filed an appeal to revive the case.
