Drake And Kendrick Lamar Engage In Intense Rap Feud

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap feud explained

Rapper and musician Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, has found himself embroiled in a series of public disputes with fellow artists over the years. The latest feud involves Kendrick Lamar, with whom Drake has been exchanging diss tracks.

The feud began when Lamar featured on the track “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin, asserting himself as the best rapper among Drake, J Cole, and himself. This was in response to a verse by J Cole on Drake’s song “First Person Shooter,” where J Cole also claimed to be part of the 'big three' alongside Drake and Lamar.

Drake retaliated with a track called “Push Ups,” mocking Lamar's music choices and challenging him to respond. Lamar fired back with a song titled “Euphoria,” questioning Drake's biracial identity and criticizing his use of an AI version of Tupac Shakur.

The diss tracks continued with Lamar releasing “6:16 in LA,” branding Drake a “fake bully.” Drake responded with “Family Matters,” accusing Lamar of calling the Tupac estate to take legal action against him. Lamar then released “Meet the Grahams,” alleging Drake has a secret daughter and is involved in harmful behaviors.

Most recently, Lamar dropped a track titled “Not Like Us,” where he accused Drake of inappropriate behavior towards younger women. Despite the ongoing back-and-forth, Drake has not yet responded to Lamar's latest track.

The feud has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, resulting in numerous memes circulating on social media. As of now, it seems that the conflict between Drake and Lamar shows no signs of abating, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next move in this ongoing saga.
