The writer responsible for crafting jokes for Conan O’Brien during the 2025 Oscars has spoken up about a humorous remark they made concerning Kendrick Lamar and Drake, which caused some stir at the awards event.
At the 97th Academy Awards, the comedian made a jab during his performance, hinting at the ongoing dispute between the musicians. “It’s now halfway through the show,” he said, “which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to emerge and accuse Drake of being a pedophile.” Later, he tried to diffuse any potential backlash by commenting, “I’ve got legal representation ready to go.
In response to the debated joke from the previous night, writer Skyler Higley publicly appreciated the humor on his social media platform (X account). Higley then disclosed that he had wagered on the joke’s success with the event’s executive producer, and as a result, pocketed a sum thanks to the applause it received.
In relation to the title of his social media post, the humorist declared, “I came up with the Kendrick Lamar joke and wagered our executive producer $50 it would be a hit. I’ve just earned $50.
Previously, Higley collaborated with the comedian and the Oscars’ host during their stint on the TBS talk show. Notably, he is recognized for his contributions to the production “After Midnight”.
In the late hours of the day, Higley posted again, this time saying, “I was connected to Kendrick. I’m grateful.
In a subsequent chat with TMZ, the screenwriter explained that the joke was more about highlighting the cultural impact of the dispute at the awards event, rather than causing distress to any celebrities involved. The sketch also referenced Kendrick Lamar’s recent Super Bowl halftime performance.
Speaking further on the topic, I’d like to clarify that regarding the ongoing ‘beef,’ it’s preposterous to consider it as a genuine confrontation or aligning with any parties involved. Instead, let’s focus on promoting positive conversations and fostering understanding.
In his diss track, Lamar called Drake a “colonizer” and a “pedophile” in the lyrics of the rap.
