Conan O’Brien celebrated the halfway point of the Academy Awards on Sunday with a shot at musical performers Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

“Well, we’re halfway through the show, which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile,” O’Brien joked.

After the laughter died down, O’Brien also said, “Don’t worry, I’m lawyered up.”

The reference, of course, was to Lamar’s performance during halftime of the Super Bowl.

Drake and Lamar have been feuding for years. Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track won multiple Grammys. The track includes accusations against Drake and his associates for being predators. Drake sued for defamation.

Lamar performed “Not Like Us” during his Super Bowl halftime show.
