The tour follows a public diss battle between Drake and Lamar, which saw them attack the other in songs including “Taylor Made Freestyle” by Drake, and Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

Lamar’s track is nominated for five Grammys, including record of the year and song of the year.

Drake was not nominated for any Grammys this year, but his representatives did not immediately respond to questions about whether he submitted any work for consideration. In previous years he has opted not to.
