The escalating conflict between hip-hop artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake has hit a whole new level, as they both dropped two tracks containing harsh negative comments towards each other.
Following several weeks of discussion, the latest musical compositions become intimate, featuring accusations regarding domestic abuse and undisclosed offspring.
It seems like Drake hints in his song "Family Matters" that Lamar might not be the biological father of one of his kids.
According to Lamar's counter statement, entitled "Introducing The Grahams," Drake is purportedly hooked on wagering, sexual activities, illegal substances, and alcohol.
Drake denies the allegations as a "mess".
The pair of tracks, which were both dropped on Saturday morning just minutes apart, possess a significantly more somber vibe when compared to their previous verbal clashes.
The most popular rapper in terms of streams globally, Drake, made an offhand comment that Kendrick Lamar may be guilty of domestic violence. He used these lyrics in one of his raps: "A crisis management team was employed/To address the fact that you assaulted your wife."
Apart from the track, Lamar has never faced allegations of domestic abuse.
Drake talks about the legal consequences that followed his previous song, Taylor Made Freestyle.
The melody that utilized AI to imitate the sound of Tupac Shakur was removed following a grievance from the domain of Shakur.
In regards to matters concerning the family, he asserts that Lamar is manipulating things behind closed doors in order to achieve a particular result.

According to current data, Drake has the highest number of hip-hop music streams globally.
Lamar didn't hesitate to strike back. He released his track, Meet The Grahams, just 20 minutes later. He also gave a warning, saying that the person who called out his family's name had made a big mistake.
The rapper, who was born in Compton, went on to mention the names of Drake's parents and even his six-year-old child.
"Adonis, my apologies that the gentleman whom you call your father has failed you," he begins his rap. "I must speak candidly, it is a quality of true manhood that is lacking, and your paternal figure has not displayed such traits."
Subsequently, he refers to Drake as a "irresponsible parent" and implies that the latter might have a child that he is keeping hidden.
After being accused of hiding his daughter, Drake took to Instagram to defend himself. He wrote a post where he asked someone to find his daughter and send her to him. He also added that the people who accused him were in a terrible state, all while using laughing emojis.
On another part of Meet The Grahams, Lamar says again that Drake has employed ghost writers to write his song lyrics instead of writing them himself, as well as undergoing cosmetic procedures.

Lamar claims that there are individuals employed by Drake's record company, OVO, who have a history of engaging in sexual offenses.
It seems that the song's words allude to Baka Not Nice, a rapper from Canada who first worked as a security guard for Drake. In 2014, he faced accusations of compelling a 22-year-old woman to engage in prostitution.
Travis Savoury, also known as the rapper, accepted the charge of assault as true, while the accusations of prostitution were dismissed.
The conflict between Drake and Lamar started in 2013, back when Lamar was still a new artist.
When he was performing at the BET Awards, he bragged that his abilities had made a "vulnerable rapper" put on his pyjamas again. Many people thought he was talking about Drake, who created a new sound for hip-hop by combining rap and R&B.
The argument had been going on for a couple of years, but it flared up once again last year. During the song First Person Shooter, J Cole and Drake referred to themselves, along with Lamar, as the "big three" of the hip hop world.
Lamar countered with a passionate verse on the track Like That, asserting that there is no such thing as a "big three" but rather only a "big me".
From that point on, each party has put out several songs criticizing the other, causing the hostility to steadily intensify.
The aftermath of this week's Top 40 has resulted in a positive impact on business for both parties, as they have both achieved success.
