Kendrick Lamar and Drake have recently been engaged in a heated beef, releasing multiple diss tracks aimed at each other. The feud between the two rappers started years ago, with Drake featuring Kendrick on his song “Buried Alive Interlude” in 2011 and Kendrick opening for Drake during his Club Paradise tour in 2012. However, things took a turn when Kendrick featured on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That” and claimed that there is no “big three” in rap, only a “big me.” This sparked a feud between Kendrick and Drake, leading to a series of diss tracks being released by both artists.
Drake’s first diss track, “Pushups,” was released on April 13 and aimed to undermine Kendrick’s talent and height. He also took jabs at Kendrick not being part of the “Big Three” and referenced his collaborations with Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift. Kendrick responded with his track “Euphoria” on April 30, criticizing Drake’s parenting skills and taking aim at his crew, OVO. The beef continued with Drake releasing “Taylor Made” on April 19, mocking Kendrick’s height and alleging that Kendrick delayed releasing a diss track to allow Taylor Swift’s album to be in the spotlight.
In response to Drake’s diss tracks, Kendrick released “6:16 in LA” on May 3, claiming that employees at Drake’s record label were secretly working for him. Drake fired back with “Family Matters,” alleging that one of Kendrick’s children was fathered by his manager and making other scandalous accusations. Kendrick responded with “Meet the Grahams,” addressing Drake’s family members and making even more shocking allegations about his alleged secret daughter. The feud escalated with Kendrick releasing “Not Like Us,” accusing Drake of inappropriate conduct with minors.
Drake continued to respond to Kendrick’s allegations in his track “The Heart Part 6,” denying the accusations and calling out Kendrick for the sources of his information. The feud between Kendrick and Drake has captivated fans of both artists, with many eagerly awaiting more diss tracks from the two Grammy-winning rappers. The beef between the two shows no signs of slowing down, as they continue to trade barbs and make scandalous accusations against each other.
