Father John Misty has reacted to Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl performance falling on the 10th anniversary of ‘I Love You, Honeybear’.The former Fleet Foxes musician, real name Josh Tillman, released the record in 2015, with NME calling it a “hugely ambitious, caustically funny album about the redemptive possibilities of love, and being heartily sick of your own bullshit”.Ahead of its official anniversary yesterday (February 9), Misty announced a remastered reissue, which is set to arrive on Valentine’s Day (February 14). His more playful way to mark the occasion was to reignite a longstanding light-hearted beef with Lamar, whose previous releases have often coincided with his.Responding to a tweet marking the 10th anniversary of his album, he wrote: “Had to do his super bowl performance today of all days nice,” in a nod to the ‘Not Like Us‘ rapper’s history-making performance.had to do his super bowl performance today of all days nice https://t.co/LtBZw5sPg6— Father John Misty (@fatherjohnmisty) February 9, 2025Back in November, the ‘Let The Light In’ musician went as far as sharing a Kendrick “diss track” after the rapper surprise-released his new album ‘GNX’ the same day as he dropped his new album ‘Mahashmashana’.The Compton rapper posted a link to the album on his social media pages on November 22, inadvertently coinciding with the release of ‘Mahashmashana’, which he later joked about, writing on X/Twitter: “I’m furiously scribbling my seeming response”.The response arrived in the form of a new song shared on Instagram called ‘God’s Trash’, posted alongside artwork parodying covers for Lamar’s recent diss tracks towards Drake from their highly publicised feud last summer.

Father John Misty has announced a 10th anniversary remastered reissue of ‘I Love You, Honeybear’.Aptly set to arrive on Valentine’s Day 2025 (February 14), Father John Misty’s 2015 album ‘I Love You, Honeybear’ will be available as a single vinyl reissued LP.It will be paired with a digital-only companion release of demos initially released on cassette and a solo performance of Nirvana’s ‘Heart Shaped Box’.A post shared by Father John Misty (@fatherjohnmisty)The former Fleet Foxes musician, real name Josh Tillman, said on the remaster: “‘I Love You, Honeybear’ is a concept album about a guy named Josh Tillman who spends quite a bit of time banging his head against walls, cultivating weak ties with strangers, and generally avoiding intimacy at all costs. This all serves to fuel a version of himself that his self-loathing narcissism can deal with.
