Think you’re the coolest in the room? Well, hold up—because Jim Carrey just set a whole new standard for ‘cool’ by casually bodying Drake with a diss track straight out of the ‘90s. Imagine, the rubber-faced king of comedy dropping bars harder than your average rapper. Yep, that happened.

Carrey, usually the one to make us laugh until we cry, went full savage mode on Drake, delivering a roast that makes Hotline Bling feel like a lullaby. It’s not every day you witness a comedic legend step out of their lane to deliver an unexpected mic drop, but when it happens? Oh, you better believe it’s iconic. Let’s dive into this pop culture moment where Jim Carrey went full rap god.
Jim Carrey’s 90s Comedy Song Feels Like the Perfect Diss Track for Drake’s Latest Controversy
Jim Carrey ain’t exactly known for being part of the diss track scene, but one of his comedy songs from way back in the ’90s could surprisingly hold its own in today’s rap beef drama.
The hilarious yet biting lyrics from Jim Carrey’s Snow song feel like they were made for the current accusations thrown at Drake. Yes, that Drake – the Canadian rapper often critiqued for faking black culture to stay relevant in the music industry.
The lyrics that slap in Carrey’s track, he goes in on Imposter! vibes, mocking a white reggae artist from Toronto. The song taps into the identity performance debate, with lines like “Hear me on the radio, think I could not be blacker / But on my video, you see I’m really a cracker.”
Replace reggae with rap, and suddenly it’s as if Carrey’s been watching the Drake controversy unfold from decades ago.
Drake’s identity crisis? His place in the rap game’s been called into question over the years, with some accusing him of straddling cultural lines to secure his spot as one of the top dogs. And as tensions heat up between Drake and fellow rappers Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, Carrey’s lyrical dismantling of the “imposter” might as well be aimed at Drizzy himself.
With clever and cutting lines, Carrey’s song mocks the music industry’s tendency to overlook cultural appropriation, and it’s eerily fitting in the context of Drake’s critics today. So while you may think you’re cool, the real question is: Are you Jim Carrey crushing Drake with the hardest 90’s diss track? Because that’s a whole new level.
