Since then, Drake has started fighting back. The AI enhancements are a bit clunky at first; Support of Ghost of 2Pac Make a track and then make something more substantial. K-Dot has been shaking and weaving, but over the past 24 hours, the gloves have been coming off really well.

Kendrick Lamar's “Euphoria” played first, followed by “6:16 In LA,” which ramped things up, and then Drake hit it big with “Family Matters.” The Canadian icon is fighting on multiple fronts, with tracks including criticism of the likes of A$AP Rocky, but Kendrick is the focus of his ire.Another mention of the Compton rapper's longtime partner whitney alfordhe claims that Dave Free is the alleged father of one of Kendrick's children, that K. Dot frequently cheated on her partner in their New York apartment, and that Kendrick physically abused her. .
Within minutes, Kendrick Lamar shared his own diss track. Somehow a direct response to “Family Matters,” his own Alchemist-produced “Meet The Grahams” is darker than dark, a brutally effective diss track. Perhaps the most powerful moment of the conflict so far, he sends a series of letters to Drake's family, undaunted by hatred. Speaking to Drake's mother, Drake called the rapper a “sick man with a sick habit,” compared him to Harvey Weinstein, said he “hates black women” and “protects sex offenders with ho-vos.” The embassy, where Drake is headquartered, said: – It means “you are about to be attacked.” Finally, he revealed that Drake has another illegitimate child, this time a daughter.

For the internet, it's been an amazing period with a huge amount of tea spilled. It's another thing for Drake to try to discredit Kendrick Lamar. For Kendrick – Pulitzer Prize-winning esthetician – Practically crippling Canadians is another thing.
But during the jousting, one thing is being lost. A woman's pain and trauma is not a barter chip that she can use to undermine other artists' reputations, but in turn enhance her own. Drake has little right to act as a champion of women – He showed public support for Tory Lanez, long after all the details of his horrific crimes against Megan Thee Stallion were confirmed.Kendrick Lamar isn't completely clean either – Kendrick Lamar caused controversy when Spotify revealed it was considering removing material from convicted abuser R. Kelly. Ta opposed this. Similarly, if K Dot was concerned about Drake protecting or using his platform to protect abusers, why did he include it? Kodak Black features What about “Mr. Morales and the Big Steppers”?

For all the drama, pomp and – yes – entertainment this battle brings, there's also an even darker stain.songwriter carla jackson Comment on Twitter/x: “It’s so unfortunate that at the center of this ‘beef’ are the traumas and lives of real women and girls. Like the end of the day, our pain is always the punchline. ”
She continued: “Folks, don’t give a damn about the victims. These are real people’s lives and stories, and you guys sitting here are acting like it’s entertainment for you. Think about the real girls in these stories.”
Nitty Scott add“Someday we'll talk about how women's suffering is reduced to punchlines and claptrap material, and how we catch most of the outcasts in rap beefs.”
Scorchingly pointing out the hypocrisy of these two, she added: “Most of these rappers only care about who has a 'problem' when exchanging insults. Meeting them on the scene in the same community they are using to signal virtue is No, because they're usually busy somewhere else as part of the problem.
The fight between Kendrick Lamar and Drake isn't over yet. As of this writing, new material is being speculated and the release of new material is widely anticipated. But it is not without its costs, and women are primarily paying the price.
