In the latest in the escalating rap rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Drake has referenced the 1999 Julia Stiles movie 10 Things I Hate About You to diss a diss track aimed at him.

Lamar, 36, on Tuesday released a six-minute song taking aim at the rival rapper , 37, titled Euphoria , with fans on social media parsing the lyrics soon after, pointing out that Lamar might have confused a pair of celebrities with similar names.

Drake didn't address that aspect in his retort, instead likening a series of lyrics from the diss track to a scene in the high school comedy, posting a monologue from Stiles' character Kat Stratford along with emojis of a wink and broken heart.

In the song, Lamar rapped the lyrics, 'This ain't been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest/It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater/I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress/I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct.'

Drake in response posted the scene from the motion picture on his Instagram Stories, drawing similarities between the series of lyrics on the diss track to the cadence of Stiles' monologue in the movie.

In the scene, Stiles' character Stratford says, 'I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare; I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.

'I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around. And the fact that you didn't call.'

A number of social media users chimed in about Drake's snappy analogy that marks the latest salvo in the beef between the hitmakers (which has garnered notice from other celebrities including musical artist Azealia Banks and NFL star Sauce Gardner ).

'Drake posting 10 things I hate about you proves what Kendrick said about him wanting to be a bad b****,' one user said, while another said his response was 'better than any diss track.'

Another chimed in, 'Drake is comedy idc what yall say. Not 10 Things I Hate About You.'

One user referred to Drake's former role on the TV show Degrassi , saying, 'Not 10 things I hate about you! Drake really a Degrassi millennial.'

Following the release of the track Tuesday, fans speculated that Lamar appeared to have confused actor Haley Joel Osment with pastor Joel Osteen.

Lamar in the song raps the lyrics : 'Am I battlin' ghosts or AI ? N**** feelin' like Joel Osteen/Funny, he was in a film called A.I. /And my sixth sense tellin' me to off him.'

Osment, 36, appeared in both in 1999's The Sixth Sense from director M. Night Shyamalan and 2001's A.I. Artificial Intelligence from filmmaker Steven Spielberg .

Osteen, 61, who presides over Houston's Lakewood Church, did not appear in either motion picture.

Osteen made national headlines in 2017 after receiving considerable pushback after initially keeping the doors to his church closed when Hurricane Harvey struck the area.

A number of users on social media appeared to believe that the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical artist had mixed up the celebrities with similar-sounding names.

'I don’t know anything about the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar,' one user wrote, 'but Kendrick just dropped a 6-min diss track & mixed up prosperity gospel preacher Joel Osteen with Haley Joel Osment from The Sixth Sense.'

Another user said, 'I did NOT have Kendrick Lamar mistaking Hayley Joel Osment for Joel Osteen on my 2024 Bingo card.'

One user said: 'Kendrick bodied. But one note. Joel Osteen & Haley Joel Osment are in fact two different people.'

Another user quoted Osment's famous line from The Sixth Sense, saying, 'Haley Joel Osment sees stupid people. By people I mean Kendrick Lamar.'

One fan of Lamar said that people had misinterpreted the artist's sophisticated blend of lyrics, integrating elements to diss Drake on multiple levels.

'The Joel hale Osteen line is actually crazy, saying he's seeing ghosts he's rapping against like Haley Joel Osteen from the 6th sense but also Joel Osteen is a [mega] church pastor that has a cult following but it just pretending to be a preacher to make millions from his following,' the user explained.

The user continued: 'Saying Drake is a fake rapper with a cult following and all his raps are ghost written. That one is one of the best bars I've ever heard.'

The Compton, California native held little back from his Toronto-born rap rival in the diss track released Tuesday.

The song opens with the lyrics, 'Them super powers gettin' neutralized, I can only watch in silence/ The famous actor we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now is spiralin'/ You movin' just like a degenerate, heavy antic, it's feelin' distasteful/ Why calculate you, not as calculated, I can even predict your angles.'

Drake earlier this month released and then deleted a diss track aimed at the Humble performer titled Taylor Made Freestyle , incorporating AI technology to replicate the voice of the late Tupac Shakur.

The Like That artist, in response, referenced Shakur on his new diss track against Drake with the lyrics: 'Somebody had told that me you got a ring, on God, I'm ready to double the wage / I rather do that, than let a Canadian n**** make Pac turn in his grave.'
