Amidst the excitement of the 2024 Met Gala, a brewing storm of controversy threatens to overshadow the event: the ongoing feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar. As the two artists continue to exchange barbs, the question on everyone’s mind is whether they will both attend the Met Gala, and if so, what kind of drama they might bring with them.

However it’s unclear whether they will both attend the event as there has been no announcement.

The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar began recently, with both artists trading diss tracks and public jabs. The spat originated in March of this year following the release of the track ‘Like That’ by Lamar. As each dis track has been released the claims have gotten more serious, with Lamar alluding to Drake being an alleged groomer.

The Met Gala is known for its exclusivity and high-profile guest list, with tickets often fetching tens of thousands of dollars. This year’s event is particularly significant, with a theme inspired by JG Ballard’s dystopian tale of the same name, “The Garden of Time”. The theme is meant to explore rebirth and renewal.

Have they attended the Met gala before?

In the past, both Drake and Kendrick Lamar have attended the Met Gala, often making headlines for their stylish outfits and high-profile appearances. Drake has been a regular at the event, with his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, joining him on the red carpet in 2015. Kendrick Lamar, on the other hand, has attended the Met Gala only once, in 2014, when he walked the red carpet alongside his then-girlfriend, Whitney Alford.

The couple got engaged in 2021 and had been dating since 2020. Hamm had previously been in a long-term relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt - their 18-year liaison was one of the longest and steadiest among Hollywood’s glitterati before it came full circle in 2015. “With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history,” they explained in a joint statement to People magazine in September 2015. “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward.”

Hamm and Westfeldt were more or less the same age, and according to several sources, she was almost like a mother figure to him, so it came as a surprise to some observers when he was rumoured to have started dating a woman 17 years his junior. The actor is believed to have first met Anna Osceola while they were both filming Person to Person in Season 7 of Mad Men. Anna had a cameo role as a receptionist, Clementine, in the final episode.
