Haley Joel Osment is giving his two cents on Kendrick Lamar potentially mixing him up with the famous pastor in his song “Euphoria.”
At the premiere of his latest film in Los Angeles, Blink twiceOsment, 36, revealed he heard the Drake diss track – and thinks Lamar’s use of Joel Osteen’s name instead of his own was intentional.

In “Euphoria,” Lamar name drops Osment and Osteen. somehow. “Am I fighting a ghost or an AI? N—- I feel like Joel Osteen,” he raps on the track. “Funny, he was in a movie called AI / And my sixth sense tells me to get rid of him.”

In the past, both Osteen and Drake have been accused of using ghostwriters in their work — so Lamar could jokingly joke that it’s hard to tell who wrote the lyrics to Drake’s diss songs about him.
The actor told the AP he was “shooting in Ireland” when Drake’s diss first came out on April 30, and his phone was blowing up with texts about the song.
“I got about a hundred texts in the middle of the night,” Osment recalled. “I was wondering, what’s going on?”

As for the verse itself, Osment said he thinks the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper is “too precise” to make such a mistake.
“I mean, I don’t know for sure and I’m not going to assume he knows my exact name,” he continued. “But the way I’ve heard people talk about it and certain analyzes I’ve read about it, I think it’s an intentional mixing of my name and that other guy’s name.”
“I think Kendrick is too precise to make a mistake like that,” he added.
“Euphoria” was Lamar’s response to Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” in which the Canadian rapper called Lamar “cowards.”
The since-deleted diss also featured controversial AI-generated vocals from Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.
