Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been engaging in a rap beef, with Lamar releasing a diss track titled “Meet The Grahams” which references Drake’s legal last name and his family members. In the song, Lamar specifically mentions Drake’s 6-year-old son, Adonis, and his mother, Sandi Graham. He also talks about a “baby girl” who he claims does not have an active father in her life, implying that Drake may be hiding another child from the world. This led to Drake responding with a post on social media denying Lamar’s claims and humorously asking for his “hidden daughter” to be sent to him.
Pusha T had previously accused Drake of keeping his firstborn child, whom he shares with former porn star Sophie Brussaux, a secret. Drake did not publicly acknowledge his son, Adonis, until March 2020, when he shared images of him on social media. Now, Lamar is claiming that Drake is keeping another child from the world, in addition to accusing him of being involved in sex trafficking and employing sex offenders. Just prior to Lamar releasing his diss track, Drake had released his own song titled “Family Matters,” where he fired back at Lamar with accusations of beating his fiancée, Whitney Alford, sleeping with other women, and being a fake activist.
In his diss track, Lamar accuses Drake of being a deadbeat father who prioritizes his music career over taking care of his own children. He also refers to Drake as a “narcissist” and “misogynist,” and criticizes him for allegedly being more concerned with destroying families in his songs than with being a responsible parent. Lamar suggests that the person he is referring to in his song is a hitmaker, songwriter, and superstar, but also a deadbeat who should not be preaching “more life,” referencing Drake’s 2017 mixtape of the same name.
The rap feud between Drake and Lamar has brought to light allegations and accusations from both sides about their personal lives and character. Drake and Lamar have both used their diss tracks to address issues relating to family, parenting, and personal relationships. While Lamar claims that Drake is hiding another child from the world and calls him out for his alleged negative behavior, Drake retaliates with accusations against Lamar, including claims of abuse and infidelity. The feud between the two rappers has become a platform for airing personal grievances and bringing to light various controversies in the music industry.
