Hey, everyone! Welcome. The ongoing feud between KRA Lamar and Drake is currently one of the most intense spectacles in the music scene. It’s a lot to take in. Drake’s accusations against Kendrick for allegedly harming his fiancée Whitney, and Kendrick’s counter-accusations about Drake hiding a child and predatory behavior—it’s all quite overwhelming. Kendrick’s response has been relentless, dropping three diss tracks back to back over the weekend. Drake attempted to fire back, but Kendrick has maintained a dominant position, not giving him an inch. It’s becoming increasingly tense, to the point of concern. Their proximity could lead to serious conflict, something I’d hate to see escalate. Kendrick’s prowess in this battle is undeniable; he’s proven himself a formidable opponent, almost like a mythical figure in the rap world. Drake’s decision to engage seems ill-advised, especially considering Kendrick’s strategic use of undisclosed information. It’s a sad situation to witness unfold. But beyond the rap battle, if there’s any truth to the allegations against Drake, his troubles extend far beyond this feud. If more accusers step forward, his career could face significant jeopardy.
So, for those who haven’t been following closely, Kendrick and Drake have been embroiled in a feud for weeks now, but the roots of their conflict trace back a decade. It all started when Kendrick, aiming to ignite some friendly competition in the hip-hop scene, dropped Drake’s name along with others in his “Control” verse. While most of the mentioned rappers took it in stride, Drake seemed particularly sensitive about it. Since then, both artists have been trading jabs and subtle digs. The tension peaked when Kendrick fired back at Drake in “Like That,” a track in response to Drake and Jake H’s “First Person Shooter.” Interestingly, “Like That” is actually a collaboration between Future and producer Metro Boomin, who harbors some serious animosity towards Drake. While the exact reason for this feud isn’t fully disclosed, Metro Boomin hinted at Drake’s attempts to obstruct the song’s radio play, corroborating Kendrick’s claims. Drake denied issuing any cease and desists, but industry insiders suggest otherwise, painting a picture of Drake’s behind-the-scenes control tactics, which have earned him some detractors in the music business. Metro Boomin has seemingly enlisted Kendrick as a formidable opponent to challenge Drake in this ongoing rivalry.
Drake fired back with two diss tracks, “Taylor Made” and “Push-ups,” exuding confidence. Initially, he believed he had the upper hand, unaware that Kendrick had been quietly crafting a mixtape filled with diss tracks aimed squarely at him. Kendrick’s first strike, “Euphoria,” was a masterpiece of wordplay, packed with layers of meaning that continue to be dissected. Following up, Kendrick dropped “6:16 in LA,” a title rife with symbolism. 6:16 coincides with Tupac’s birthday, a figure Drake holds in high regard, despite Tupac’s estate shutting down Drake’s attempts to use him in the beef. Furthermore, 6:16 is Father’s Day this year, alluding to Drake’s parenting controversies. The reference to “16 in LA” parallels Drake’s own timestamp songs, adding another layer to Kendrick’s critique. Notably, 6:16 marks the premiere of “Euphoria,” a show Drake executive produced, as well as the start of the O.J. Simpson trial, referenced by Kendrick’s use of a black glove in the cover art, symbolizing his intent to metaphorically ‘murder’ Drake. Kendrick’s “6:16” delves deeper, exposing Drake’s supposed allies as informants and leakers, accusing Drake of bullying, buying bots, and attempting to dig up dirt on Kendrick. While Drake plotted, Kendrick strategized ten moves ahead, leaving Drake ill-prepared for the battle that ensued.
Drake accuses Kendrick of mistreating his girlfriend in “Family Matters,” prompting Kendrick to respond with his own diss track titled “Family Matters.” While acknowledging Kendrick’s superior methodical and lyrical prowess, Drake commends his own passionate delivery in the song. Beyond Kendrick, Drake addresses various other figures he’s been in conflict with, including Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, and The Weeknd, but the focus here is on Kendrick due to the serious allegations thrown his way.
Drake alleges that Kendrick has mistreated his baby mama, Whitney, suggesting that Kendrick’s self-esteem issues led him to seek validation through relationships with mixed-race women. Drake questions why Kendrick hasn’t been present for his son and criticizes his treatment of Whitney, citing her social media captions as evidence of her struggles. Kendrick had previously confessed to infidelity and mistreatment of Whitney in his album “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers,” corroborating Drake’s claims.
Drake goes further, insinuating that one of Kendrick’s children might not be his own, alleging that Whitney had an affair with Kendrick’s general manager, Dave Free. Notably, when Whitney shared a photo of herself with her children, Dave Free commented, and she responded positively, adding intrigue to Drake’s claims.
If you notice, she follows Dave Free, but not Kendrick. Some claim she and Kendrick have never followed each other, but I’m not certain. It’s intriguing that she doesn’t even follow her own fiancé. Drake then accused Kendrick of mistreating his girlfriend, questioning if any altercation was due to self-defense given her stature. He also questioned Kendrick’s commitment to his fiancée, suggesting their wedding plans might not materialize. Drake’s accusations are intense, but their veracity is uncertain. There were rumors a decade ago about Kendrick’s involvement in an altercation with a woman. Recently, there’s been media speculation about an incident in Vegas, but details are scarce, and the matter is under investigation.
“It’s utterly ridiculous, you know? Whoever concocted that story owes an apology. Not to me, but to the women who genuinely face abuse. Understand what I’m saying? Abuse is a serious issue, and if it were true, there would have been a police report, an arrest. That narrative is sheer ignorance. Many don’t buy into the idea that Kendrick laid hands on his girlfriend Whitney, but it’s clear their relationship has seen its share of turbulence. However, we can’t jump to conclusions without evidence.
Drake’s diss track ‘Family Matters’ barely had time to simmer before Kendrick swiftly countered with ‘6:16 in LA’. Kendrick’s response, ‘Meet the Grams’, caused a frenzy online. He not only targeted Drake but also his immediate family, even mentioning an alleged illegitimate daughter. This sent shockwaves, with people speculating if Drake had another child hidden away. Remember, Pusha T previously exposed Drake for concealing his son Adonis. It’s speculated that Drake may have baited Kendrick with false information to stir the pot, reminiscent of past rumors about him denying an older child.
Enter Lawana G. Gay, who claims Drake is the father of her child. In February, Drake’s representative reached out to her on Instagram to arrange a meeting. After exchanging messages and a visit to London, well, let’s just say things may have taken a certain turn.”
Following their rendezvous, everything appeared to be fine. However, in March, Lawana disclosed to Drake that she was pregnant, and that’s when she claims he distanced himself. Messages exchanged between them also featured positive pregnancy test results dated April 17th. Now, the veracity of this story remains uncertain, so I’m reserving judgment. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be surprising if Drake had more children out there given his active social life. There have been other assertions that he fathered a child with a woman named Shai, and indeed, the resemblance between her son and Drake is striking. It’s undeniable. The resemblance is uncanny. When I first laid eyes on the child, I immediately thought, “Yep, that’s Drake.” Let’s face it, someone of Drake’s stature is likely to have intimate encounters with numerous partners, and accidents can happen. And yeah, apparently, there are more photos I want to share because they seem pretty convincing. So, this was the initial picture. Now, in this subsequent image, that’s unmistakably Drake. That’s his son, without a doubt. And it’s definitely not a daughter, as you’ll see in the next post. “Happy Birthday to my little cuz,” with the caption, “Turn up, Lil’ Drizzy.” That’s Drake, unmistakably. This child bears an uncanny resemblance to him, and this photo was taken around 10 or 11 years ago, in 2014, to be precise. So, the timeline aligns. Others have speculated, “Oh, the reference to the 11-year-old in the lyrics might be a subtle nod to Bobby from ‘Stranger Things.'” It’s an interesting interpretation, but the daughter doesn’t seem to exist. Perhaps it’s the son who’s real. Maybe there’s more than one child; who knows? It’s all conjecture. But if it does turn out to be true, it’s some pretty major news.
The individual responsible for technical tasks shared an intriguing story with me: allegedly, Drake employs someone tasked with scouting exceptionally attractive women in town. This employee conducts interviews with these women and selects the one he deems the most suitable. Subsequently, he chauffeurs her to Drake’s residence where she spends time with him intimately before being driven back home. Essentially, it’s like Drake’s personalized version of Tinder, a sort of private matchmaking service. This notion echoes Kendrick Lamar’s lyric about streamlining victims and referring to them as tender, suggesting a deeper narrative. Additionally, the cover art for ‘Meet the Grams’ supposedly features Drake’s Xanax and OxyContin pills, raising questions about his own substance use despite his previous accusations against Rick Ross. Furthermore, there were speculations surrounding items showcased in Drake’s ‘Family Matters’ video, including a ring believed to belong to Kendrick Lamar’s fiancée, Whitney. However, it was clarified that Drake had acquired it specifically for the video. Other items on the cover art are rumored to be from Drake’s father’s belongings, suggesting a connection to Dennis Gra, Drake’s father. How Kendrick Lamar obtained these items remains a mystery, with theories ranging from Drake’s deliberate trolling to inadvertent leakage from his camp.
The artwork for this diss track was actually removed from streaming platforms, and I suspect Drake had a hand in it because it depicted his medications, possibly violating HIPAA regulations. So, it appears Drake was caught off guard when someone took his father’s suitcase and handed its contents to Kendrick. It’s a rather twisted situation, with Kendrick seemingly engaging in psychological warfare against Drake. Drake must be feeling the heat, as Kendrick shows no signs of letting up; he still has more in his arsenal. Kendrick drops his fourth diss track, “Not Like Us,” and utterly decimates Drake. In this latest salvo, he bluntly refers to Drake as a certain type of document file, implying predatory behavior. Adding insult to injury, he pairs it with a DJ Mustard beat, ensuring it’s catchy enough to get people dancing, even while they’re hearing Drake being called out. Kendrick coins the term ’69 God,’ a play on Drake’s moniker ‘6 God,’ insinuating unsavory behavior. Kendrick’s lyrics cut deep, alleging Drake’s preference for younger partners and implicating some of Drake’s associates in questionable activities. It’s a brutal onslaught, leaving Drake reeling as Kendrick digs into his inner circle, questioning their allegiances and actions.
Kendrick’s remarks were pointed and impactful. He quipped, “Certify lover boy, certify PDF files,” cleverly alluding to Drake’s upcoming album. His analogy of trolling as akin to a bee’s incessant buzzing struck a chord, humorously emphasizing the futility of Drake’s actions. Referencing a “minor” both musically and contextually added depth to his critique. The mention of Alandra and Central, coupled with a warning regarding Serena, addressed Drake’s past indiscretions and cautioned against further commentary. Kendrick’s observation on Drake’s associations and their alleged legal entanglements hinted at deeper issues within Drake’s circle. Accusations of Drake’s exploitation of his mentorship role and comparison to Harvey Weinstein underscored the seriousness of Kendrick’s allegations. The mention of Drake’s purported selection process for intimate encounters added a chilling layer to Kendrick’s narrative. Kendrick’s resolve to continue his expose, culminating in an impending mixtape release, signaled an escalation in their feud. The unfolding drama between Kendrick and Drake captivated audiences, showcasing Kendrick’s skill in both lyrical prowess and strategic confrontation.
