paragraph_text: $ome $exy $ongs 4 U and "Gimme a Hug"
  
  On February 14, 2025, less than one week after Lamar's Super Bowl performance, Drake released a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. This was Drake's first major release in nearly one year following the beef. Drake had previously stated that he would minimize the beef in the album; however, the track " Gimme a Hug " contained a verse that was widely interpreted as being about the beef. In the track, Drake touts his resilience despite many fans' desire to see his career ended, says he wants to "get the party lit" (a likely reference to Lamar's "Watch the Party Die" track from September 2024), and makes an indirect diss at his view that Lamar's music is too cerebral to party to, saying it would have "girls...twerking with a dictionary". Around the same time, Drake wore a shirt with bullet holes in it to symbolize his resilience around the beef while on tour in Australia.
