Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s ongoing beef is doing a bit of good at one Chinese restaurant in Drake's hometown Toronto.

Speaking to local outlet CityNews on Wednesday, May 1, New Ho King owner Johnny Lu excitedly shared how the rappers’ feud now has his business booming.

“This morning, a lot of people text me and said, ‘Oh look at that! That’s your restaurant?’ I said yes!” he said during an on-camera interview.

In Lamar’s most recent diss to Drake, the Compton native, 36, references the eatery.

“Don't speak on the family, crodie / It can get deep in the family, crodie / Talk about me and my family, crodie? / Someone gon’ bleed in your family, crodie / I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blamy, crodie,” Lamar raps on “Euphoria.”

Lu smiled as he told CityNews that his “chef [is] gonna be busy” thanks to all the rice they will now have to produce following the mention.

He added that in less than 24 hours, he received a boost in positive Google reviews, with many customers mentioning the song.

Among the five-star reviews were comments like “Kendrick sent me" and “Kendrick Lamar mentioned.”

“I feel a sense of euphoria when I be having the fried rice with the dip,” another quipped.

During the interview, Lu actively had reviews piling in, with the latest being “7 minutes ago.”

“I see that Kendrick’s a good guy,” Lu said. “Oh my God!”

CityNews spoke to patrons who traveled out of their way to try the dish mentioned in the diss.

“I came all the way from Markham just to see this fried rice,” one fan said. “Kendrick Lamar, man. You gotta pay respect to K. Dot, man. Ever since he dropped the diss track I was like, ‘I gotta visit this place.' ”

As an added jab to Drake, fans have also speculated that the Chinese restaurant mentioned in "Euphoria" is the same location where Drake previously spoke about being robbed at gunpoint in 2009.

In May of that year, he told GQ about the incident in a now-deleted interview, per Rolling Stone.

“I knew it was a setup, because I had on a sweater and a jacket. But when they banged on the car window with a gun and opened the door, the first thing he said was, ‘Yo, run that chain,' ” Drake reportedly said.

“They didn’t rob [my date], and her purse was sitting right there. So I was like, ‘OK, yup — you set the whole thing up.' ”

He reportedly lost around $4,000 and a new chain that Lil Wayne had given him.

A June 2010 profile of Drake by The New York Times also referenced the robbery.

“In May 2009 he was robbed at gunpoint in a Toronto restaurant. He cooperated with the police investigation, in what some perceived as a violation of hip-hop’s no-snitching ethos,” the outlet reported.
