Plaqueboymax calls it "weird" that people are excited about Drake's supposed loss against Kendrick Lamar.

The FaZe Clan member hosted a post-Grammy Awards stream on Monday night (February 3), where he commented on Kendrick winning five Grammys for Drake diss track "Not Like Us." While the Grammys audience cheered and even rapped along to the chart-topping single on Sunday evening, Plaqueboymax, real name Maxwell Dent, thought the scene was odd.

While the streamer acknowledged "Not Like Us" as "one of the greatest diss songs," he said that people seem "a little too happy to see Drake losing."

"I don't like that shit," he continued in the video below. "It's weird, bro! ... It's weird, it's on some, like, everybody's turning against him, shit."

He continued, "I don't fuck with that–I don't! Are ya'll not peeping it, though? Even if you don't fuck with Drake, you cannot sit here and tell me that shit not weird."

On the feud, Plaqueboymax thinks it was "impossible for Drake to win," as he went against the Avengers of hip-hop, including Future and Metro Boomin.

While Drake has moved on to touring in Australia this month, his father, Dennis Graham, dismissed Kendrick's Grammy win in a TikTok posted by Joy of Everything.

Meanwhile, Drake appears unfazed by the "weird" behavior Plaqueboymax claims is being directed at the Toronto star in the industry. Following Lamar’s five Grammy wins for Not Like Us on Feb. 3, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR announced that their joint album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, will be released on Feb. 14.
