President Biden’s re-election campaign has co-opted Kendrick Lamar’s attacks on Drake to attack Donald Trump, overlaying the lyrics to the Compton rapper’s “Euphoria” on top of text insults about the former president in a bizarre TikTok clip.
The 13-second video posted by Biden’s official re-election campaign on the Chinese-linked social media app features captions like “I hate the way that you walk over women’s rights” and “the way you talk about immigrants.”
“I hate the way that you dress” and “I hate the way that you sneak diss on Truth Social,” other captions read over images of Trump in a tuxedo and looking at his phone.
The Biden team did not edit the lyrics of the song and a portion of Lamar’s shots at Drizzy can still be heard.
“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/We hate the b—-s you f—, ’cause they confuse themselves with real women/And notice, I said ‘we’, it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin,'” the track snippet used by the campaign goes.
The diss track from Lamar stems from a simmering feud between him and Toronto-born Drake (real name: Aubrey Drake Graham), which resulted in both artists releasing songs about each other in recent days.
The rappers had been feuding for years, but the tension escalated after Drake released the song “First Person Shooter” in October, which featured J. Cole spitting that he, Drake and Lamar were the “big three.”
Lamar took issue with the comparison, and hit back at Cole in his own song “Like That” in March.
Biden’s re-election team has said it will continue to use TikTok despite the president signing a bill into law last month mandating the app’s parent company, ByteDance, divest due to its affiliation with the Chinese government.
“A fragmented media environment requires us to show up and meet voters where they are — and that includes online. TikTok is one of many places we’re making sure our content is being seen by voters,” a Biden campaign rep told The Post in April.
“When the stakes are this high in the election, we are going to use every tool we have to reach young voters where they are,” the rep added, claiming the campaign is utilizing “enhanced security measures.”
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post.
