"Unthinkable Feud: Drake and Kendrick Lamar Trade Shocking Personal Blows in Epic Battle"
The ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken a personal turn. Earlier today, Lamar released a diss track called "6:16 in LA," and in response, both rappers dropped their own tracks on Friday night (May 3). Drake's track, titled "Family Matters," gets very personal as he addresses Lamar directly.
In "Family Matters," Drake talks about Lamar's relationship with his fiancée Whitney Alford and takes shots at him. He mentions Lamar's song "Money Trees" and suggests that Lamar's statement about disliking the girls Drake has been with actually reflects his own insecurities. Drake also brings up Lamar's children, implying that one of them may not be Lamar's biological child but rather fathered by Dave Free, Lamar's creative partner.
Drake goes on to reference the Toronto Chinese food restaurant called New Ho King, which Lamar mentioned in his track "Euphoria." In the music video for "Family Matters," Drake appears at the restaurant, mocking Lamar. He also mentions a cease and desist letter he received from Tupac Shakur's estate regarding his song "Taylor Made Freestyle," suggesting that Lamar influenced the estate's decision to take legal action against him.
Lamar retaliates with his own track, "Meet the Grahams," where he directly addresses Drake's family members, including his son Adonis, mother Sandra, and father Dennis. He even mentions a daughter that Drake has never publicly acknowledged. Lamar expresses his disappointment in Drake as a father figure and criticizes his behavior. He also confronts Drake's mother and father, suggesting they should take responsibility for his actions.
Lamar concludes his track by addressing a "baby girl" that he implies Drake has kept secret. He suggests that Drake should be spending time with her instead of engaging in reckless behavior.
This ongoing feud has attracted a lot of attention, involving other artists like Rick Ross, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and Future.
