Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar: drop diss tracks within seconds of each other ignite feud to new heights
Drake Instagram profile NEW YORK, NY – JANUARY 28: Recording artists Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna attend the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards
ALBAWABA – Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud has escalated to new heights as the two rappers released diss recordings on Saturday morning (4 May) almost simultaneously.
Drake, a Canadian musician in his 37th year, released the three-part “Family Matters” in which he hypocritically criticizes Kendrick Lamar’s pro-Black advocacy. In addition to allegations of domestic abuse, he “begs” the Tupac estate to sue Drake for dissing the late rapper using artificial intelligence replicas of him.
He also dissed Future, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, and Metro Boomin.
As soon as the news broke, however, Lamar responded with his third diss track of the week, “Meet The Grahams,” in which he accused the rapper of having a hidden daughter and a number of addictions, including to spending, gambling, drinking, drugs, and sex.
“Nah hold on, could someone please locate my hidden daughter and deliver her to me? I’d really appreciate it,” Drake said in an Instagram story in response to rumors that had concealed a kid.
This group is completely disorganized. They also included a selfie and laughing emoticons.
“You just actin’ like an activist, it’s make believe. Don’t even go back to your hood and plant no money trees,” the rapper rapped as he began the latest combat round, accusing Lamar of hypocrisy and performative activism.
Adding, “You the Black messiah wifin’ up a mixed queen” was his way of addressing Whitney Alford, Lamar’s mixed-race fiancée and childhood love. Before this, the rapper had criticized Lamar for being hypocritical about his romantic relationship and for challenging his racial identity as a mixed race guy.
He slammed Future, a rapper and ex-collaborator, calling him “sick to my stomach,” slammed Metro Boomin, a record producer, as “f***ing lame,” and made fun of Rick Ross, a singer, for taking the diabetic medicine Ozempic, which is linked to weight reduction. “Jealousy was a side effect of Ozempic,” he mocked.
A stop-and-desist order “is for h*es,” he said, denying that he had issued one to Lamar. In his song, he says, “You contacted Tupac’s estate and pleaded with them to sue me and put that s*** down.”
Adding, “They hired a crisis management team, to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen,” he utters what is perhaps his most contentious phrase just before the song ends. Your depiction isn’t as accurate as it first seems.
