Drake Uses Kendrick Lamar's Fiancée Lookalike in Bold OVO Clothing Brand Move
Drake and Kendrick Lamar's past beef may have simmered down, but it appears Drake is still seizing opportunities to take subtle jabs at the Compton rapper.
Recently, the official OVO Instagram account posted a series of photos promoting casual women's clothing.
Among the items featured was a white tank top, modeled by model look-alike of Kendrick Lamar's fiancée for OVO Clothing Brand Campaign, Whitney Alford.
Interestingly, Alford wore a similar top in Kendrick's "Not Like Us" music video.

During their lyrical feud, Drake repeatedly accused Kendrick Lamar of domestic vi*lence against Alford.
Fans have speculated that this latest ad was a deliberate move to reignite tensions subtly.
Although there is no confirmation that this was Drake's intention, the model's resemblance to Alford has left many questioning whether this was a mere coincidence or a calculated dig.

Opinions are divided among fans. Some find Drake's approach clever, appreciating the subtlety of the potential diss. Others criticize him for not directly addressing Kendrick's recent activities.
Kendrick Lamar has been active, with notable appearances such as his Pop Out in LA and new music releases. In contrast, Drake has maintained a relatively low profile, with only a few features and vague social media posts in recent weeks.
This silence has not gone unnoticed, as Kendrick's supporters are quick to criticize nearly everything Drake shares online.
As the debate continues, it's clear that Drake's latest move has stirred the pot once again.
Whether intentional or not, the choice of model for the OVO ad has rekindled discussions about the longstanding rivalry between the two rap titans.
Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how this unfolds and whether Kendrick Lamar will respond to Drake's subtle provocation. For now, the OVO ad has certainly succeeded in capturing attention and sparking conversation within the hip-hop community.
