Curious about the Drake vs Kendrick Lamar internet feud? Come with us as we have coped some juicy deets of their rivalry, controversies, & social media showdowns.
The Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef was sparked on March 22, 2024, by Lamar's song "Like That," where he denies being part of a "Big Three" with Drake & J. Cole, saying it's just him.
After a few weeks of Lamar's track, Drake retaliated with a mysterious track "Push Ups," featuring the lyrics "You ain’t in no Big Three," replying to what Lamar began!
While waiting on Lamar’s response to “Push Ups,” Drake released "Taylor Made Freestyle" on April 19, using A.I.-generated Tupac & Snoop Dogg voices to go after him.
A few days later, on April 30, Lamar took aim at Drake, leaving no crumbs as he criticised Drake's parenting, plastic surgery, and rap skills in his song "Euphoria."
Mocking Drake's habit to incorporate times & locations in his song titles, Lamar released "6:16 in LA" shortly after "Euphoria," fulfilling the promise of back-to-back tracks.
Later, Drake responded with the track “Family Matters,” which is nearly eight minutes long, suggesting that Lamar’s child is actually fathered by his manager then him.
Lamar didn't give much time to sit & released “Not Like Us,” accusing Drake's family and calling Drake a 'paedophile' based on his dating history.
On May 5, 2024, Drake released "The Heart Part 6," using AI deepfakes of celebs like Kanye West, Will Smith, & Kobe Bryant, making AI the hero of the feud. The diss continues!
The feud between famous rappers ultimately arose from the competitive nature of hip-hop, involving authenticity concerns that turned into personal attacks.
