As we’ve already reported, Kendrick delivered a grandiose spectacle on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, with a medley of “Wesley’s Theory”, “Momma”, “u”, and “King Kunta.”

What the fuck happened?” and “I swore I wouldn’t tell, but most of y’all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell,” that have a few people on the internet chattering. Basically, Kendrick completely switches from angry and impassioned to lax for these lines, rolling his words and altering his tone. It seems like it was just for emphasis, but now some fans are posting on Twitter and Reddit that it actually sounds like a purposeful impression of Drake himself.
