A mural of a beaten-up Drake popped up in Compton after his alleged "loss" in his rap war with Kendrick Lamar.

"They not like us," a line from Lamar's final diss track, titled "Not Like Us," was also written beside Drake's spray-painted mural.

After seeing the post, many netizens and fans shared mixed reactions to the mural.
"In real life, Drake would destroy Kendrick in a fight," tweeted one netizen.
"LOL. Compton [has] been starving... They're enjoying the moment like the Toronto Raptors did when they won a chip," commented another.
"Drake fans assemble," quipped someone else.
Meanwhile, a different commenter said, "Bro Kendrick fans are so weird. Obviously not all of them are like this, but the minority speaks for the majority of Kendrick's fans ATM. Now, I agree with Ak when he said Kendrick fans are crossing the line."
Sharing their take on the mural, HotNewHipHop, an online publication focused on hip-hop and pop culture, said that it was "a real disrespectful way to literally paint him [Drake]."
"To us, it conveys the utter hatred for the Canadian multi-hyphenate, and it seems it is only growing. Even though diss tracks are no more, this beef is far from over."
As of press time, Lamar's diss track against Drake is trending at #15 on Trending for Music on YouTube. It currently has over 53.6 million views.
Speaking of who won the rap battle, Joseph "JP" Patterson, editor-in-chief of Complex UK, told the BBC: "All in all, Kendrick won this battle. Both dragged each other to hell with their lyrical jabs, but it's undeniable who came out on top."
"Drake will remain the superstar rapper that he is -- this definitely won't stop his motion -- but he'll need to be secure enough to take all the jokes and banter for losing for the rest of his career. Rap music wins, yet again."
