The feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar has escalated to a whole new level, with the two of them dropping diss tracks just minutes apart from each other on Saturday morning (May 4th).

The famous Canadian musician Drake, who is 37 years old, recently dropped a three-part music project called "Family Matters". In this collection, he claims that Lamar's support for the Black community is dishonest. Furthermore, he accuses Lamar of being violent towards his partner and trying to get Tupac's estate to sue Drake for using AI-created versions of Tupac in a diss track.

He didn't end his criticism there and continued to insult A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, Future, and Metro Boomin.

However, Lamar responded very quickly by dropping his third diss track this week, called "Meet The Grahams." In the track, he alleged that the rapper has been hiding a daughter and struggling with various addictions, including gambling, alcohol, drugs, sex, and overspending.

As soon as people started making claims that Drake had a secret daughter, he quickly took to Instagram to set the record straight. In his response, he joked about not being able to find his own child and asked his followers for help. Drake even included some laughing emojis and a selfie to show that he was taking the situation lightly.

The battle round began with a rap from the artist who accused Lamar of being a hypocrite and only pretending to be an activist. He even went as far as to say that Lamar doesn't even return to his own neighborhood to help plant "money trees."

"He's calling you a Black savior for marrying a woman who is of mixed heritage," the statement read, in regards to Kendrick Lamar's longtime partner and soon-to-be wife, Whitney Alford. The rapper has been previously criticized for questioning Kendrick Lamar's racial identity, as Lamar identifies as mixed-race. The attacker also called out Lamar's supposed hypocrisy for choosing a partner of mixed heritage.

He targeted hip-hop artist and ex-partner Future, expressing how disgusted he felt, named music producer Metro Boomin as "terrible," and teased Rick Ross, who was taking Ozempic, a medication for diabetes that is linked to reduction of weight. He remarked that Ozempic leads to a feeling of envy.

He refused the claim of giving an order to stop Lamar, as per him such instruction is only for women with low character. He expressed through his lyrics that the person called the Tupac estate and pleaded with them to sue him and take the content down.

In his possibly most contentious set of lyrics, towards the conclusion of the tune as the melody fades out, he includes: "They employed specialists in crisis management, to eradicate the truth that you inflicted violence upon your partner. The image you portrayed is not the reality."

The primary topic on Lamar's social media post promoting his song was about his family comments. He wrote a caption that stated, "Instead of trying to understand my knowledge, focus on fixing your own broken household."

In just 20 minutes, the rapper known as "Humble" issued a response, noting that the person who called out his family's name had made a grave mistake.

Drake was accused of having foes within his own crew by the author of "6:16 in LA", who then went on to advise the rapper to consider attending therapy to address his numerous dependencies in "Meet The Grahams".

If you struggle with addiction to gambling, alcohol, prescription drugs, overspending, managing your finances, or frequenting brothels, seeking therapy can be a helpful beginning step.

In the past, Pusha T alleged in his song "The Story of Adidon" that Drake had a son that he was keeping secret, but this claim turned out to be true. To add more controversy, Lamar hinted that the rapper might also have a hidden daughter.

"You were dishonest about your son, you were dishonest about your daughter, oh, you were dishonest about those other children who are out there, hoping for your arrival," he rhymed.
