Could the next big music feud be between Drake and ‘90s band Smash Mouth?
A tweet Sunday on the official account of the “All Star” group reads: “Yo @drake When the ball is in-play sit the FCK down! That aint gonna fly in Oakland!”
Among the hashtags on the tweet was “#GlorifiedMascot.”
Oh, it’s on.
“Smash Mouth vs. Drake is the beef I needed in 2019,” tweeted one person.
Jake Brockman pointed out: “Toronto radio stations will not have to stop playing Smash Mouth for the Finals because they already did that 20 years ago.”
Toronto Star music writer Benjamin Rayner opined: “I can’t imagine Smash Mouth has much else to do.”
One person accused the band of baiting Drake “so that you can be in the spotlight for 2 seconds cuz you’re that desperate. Ain’t gonna work. You’re forgotten. Have fun performing in front of 50 people every other weekend.”
Here’s a sample of reactions:

Maybe Smash Mouth shouldn’t take on someone who has 38.2 million more Twitter followers than they do.

Smash Mouth vs. Drake is a thing that is happening and I want everyone to know that I am 100% on #TeamSmashMouth. Both are garbage, but Smash Mouth don't pretend that they reinvent the wheel whenever they take a shit.
