Biden Ad Uses Kendrick Lamar's 'Euphoria' Lyrics To Diss Trump: Watch
President Joe Biden is wading into the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake rap beef, using the former's lyrics to diss his Republican challenger Donald Trump.
In a video posted by Biden's campaign team on TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, a verse from Lamar's diss track "Euphoria" can be heard playing as unflattering photos of Trump appear in a slideshow.
The president's team tweaked Lamar's lyrics attacking Drake to call out Trump on policy, his style choices and his frequent criticism of Biden on Truth Social.
"It's always been about love and hate, now lemme say I'm the biggest hater," read the text written over a photo of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris inside a car.
The video went on to show photos of Trump sporting a "Make America Great Again" hat, making a goofy facial expression, posing in an ill-fitting tuxedo, and using his mobile phone.
"I hate the way that you walk over women's rights, the way that you talk about immigrants," the video continued. "I hate the way that you dress, I hate the way that you sneak diss on Truth Social."

Social media users joined in on trolling Trump in the comments section, with one suggesting: "Bro's about the drop 'Meet the Trumps,'" in reference to another one of Lamar's diss tracks.
"This social media team is [killing] it," another person wrote, praising Biden's campaign team.
It is unclear if Trump has publicly responded to the post, but he has repeatedly called out Biden on Truth Social since the video was uploaded.
On Thursday, Trump claimed Biden "is responsible for banning TikTok," referring to the president signing into law a bill that forces ByteDance to either sell the video app potentially within a year or face a nationwide ban.
In "Euphoria," Lamar made it clear that his rap beef with Drake was not about him trying to prove anything but rather him being the Canadian rapper's "hater."
"This ain't been 'bout critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest / It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater / I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk / I hate the way that you dress I hate the way you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct," Lamar raps.
The 36-year-old rapper dropped "Euphoria" on April 30 in response to Drake's diss tracks, "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle."
Just days later, he followed this up with "6:16 In LA," in which he suggested that there was a mole in Drake's OVO team and called out the "Hotline Bling" rapper for being a bully.
On the same day, Drake dropped "Family Matters," taking shots at Lamar for cheating on and allegedly being physically abusive to his fiancée, Whitney Alford.
Less than an hour later, Lamar fired back with "Meet The Grahams," in which he addressed each member of Drake's family and called the other artist a "predator" for his alleged interest in underage girls.
Lamar released his latest entry in the rap battle, "Not Like Us," Saturday, accusing Drake of being a "pedophile" and "deadbeat dad."
Drake refuted Lamar's accusations in "The Heart Part 6," which dropped Sunday, claiming that he was "way too famous" and "too respected" to have gone after underage girls.
Meanwhile, this was not the first time Biden's campaign team threw shade at Trump on TikTok.
Last week, the account posted the "Trump Edition" of the 75 Hard Challenge, poking fun at the former president for his indictments and for falling asleep in the courtroom during his ongoing hush money criminal trial.
