The ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has escalated to new heights, delving into personal territory. In the latest development, Kendrick Lamar dropped a diss track titled ‘6:16 in LA‘ earlier today, triggering immediate responses from both artists. Drake retaliated with ‘Family Matters‘, while Lamar fired back with ‘Meet the Grahams‘, released on the same day.
Drake’s ‘Family Matters‘ takes a deeply personal tone, addressing Lamar’s recent mention of Drake’s son and his relationship with fiancée Whitney Alford. The Toronto rapper also takes aim at Lamar’s roots, referencing his track ‘Money Trees‘ and questioning his authenticity. Drake even brought up a legal dispute involving Tupac Shakur’s estate over a song where Drake used AI to recreate Tupac’s vocals, suggesting Lamar’s involvement in the cease & desist action.
In response, Lamar’s ‘Meet the Grahams‘ doesn’t hold back either. He directly addresses Drake’s family members, including his son Adonis, his mother Sandra, and his father Dennis. Lamar even hints at a daughter allegedly kept secret by Drake, adding a new layer of tension to the feud.
