Chile! drake And Kendrick Lamar draw personal cards in their ongoing rap beef. Both artists released new diss tracks on Friday (May 3), bringing each other’s families and children into the mix!
Drake & Kendrick lit up Friday night with THESE drops
Drizzy kicked off the back-to-back drops late Friday night with the release of “Family Matters.” For over seven minutes, the rapper performed with K Dot, Rick Ross, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky. He also mentioned Future, suggesting that Metro tricked him into stoking the beef.
Drizzy began the track by trolling Kendrick because he said he hates it when the Canadian says the N-word. He then warned K Dot that the mention of his “seed,” that is, his son Adonis, had caused this reaction.
He also clarified that unless K Dot has any evidence to support his allegations, it is “fake tea.”
“It’s begging for attention out here, please say.” Always rapping like you want to free the slaves. You’re just acting like an activist, it’s just an illusion. Don’t even go back to your area and don’t plant money trees. Say you fucking hate the girls, but what do you really mean? I’ve been into black and white and everything in between. You, the Black Messiah, are making a mixed queen great.” he rapped.
Aside from Kendrick, Drake called out his other targets on stage by their official names. He urged Abel, aka The Weeknd, to up his jewelry game and told Rakim, aka A$AP Rocky, that his fashion grabs more headlines than his music. He then turned to Future, calling him Pluto and suggesting that Metro Boomin (real name Leland Tyler Wayne) influenced their fallout.
“Pluto doesn’t make me sick, we’ve never really been through this before. Leland Wayne, he’s fucking lame, so I know he had to have an influence. “These n****s had a plan and finally found a way to lure you in,” Drake rapped. “K Dot sh*t only hits hard when Baby Keem puts his pen on it. “Ross called me the ‘white boy’ and that kind of came to mind because all these rappers are waving white flags with the whole club singing along.”
At the end of the song, Drake mocked Kendrick for defending Pharell on a previous track, calling K Dot’s father and uncle and calling him a liar and abuser.
“Our sons should go play in the park, two light-skinned kids who would be damn cute. Unless you don’t want to be seen with someone who isn’t blacker than you. We get it, we get it. The blacker the berry, the sweeter. We understand that you like to add gin to your juice. We understand that in “Juice” you think you are Bishop. If you take your girl in your hand, is it self-defense since she is bigger than you?”

Meanwhile, Kendrick released “Meet The Grahams” minutes after Drake dropped out. In addition to insulting Adonis, K Dot also called out Drake’s parents and suggested that the rapper is hiding a daughter. He called him an idiot who is ashamed of the mothers of his children.
“Dear little girl, I am sorry that your father is not active in your world. He doesn’t commit to much except his music, that’s for sure. He is a narcissist, misogynist who lives in his songs. Try to destroy families instead of taking care of his own. Should your schedule be teaching or watching Frozen with you. Or singing palm trees with you on your 11th birthday. Instead he’s into Turks paying for sex and popping percs.”
Lamar also spread rumors about Drizzy getting plastic surgery and taking the weight loss drug Ozempic. In particular, he suggested that Drake was a lurking sexual “predator” who should “die” and advised people to keep their families away from him.

A little timeline of the beef
As we told you before, Kendrick apparently took the first shots from the stand back in March this year. He targeted Drizzy and J. Cole in Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That”. Cole responded with the dissident “7 Minute Drill,” which he retracted with a public apology to K Dot two days after its release.
In mid-April, a dissident response from Drizzy leaked online, and the rapper eventually released it on streaming platforms under the name “Push Ups.” Before Kendrick could respond, Drake followed with “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which featured AI-generated vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. The Canadian rapper later removed the second dissident from social media, reportedly after Pac’s estate reportedly threatened a lawsuit.
In the midst of all this, A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd joined the band by jumping on Future & Metro Boomin’s second album. Rick Ross also made a name for himself on social media and with the release of “Champagne Moments” last month.
Earlier this week, Lamar lashed out at Drake for six minutes in another dissident track, “Euphoria.” Kendrick criticized Drizzy’s use of the N-word, questioned his black identity and his role as a father, and listed the characteristics of the rapper he hates.
Drake initially responded with a bit of trolling on social media, posting a clip from the movie “10 Things I Hate About You.” In the hours leading up to the release of “Family Matters,” Drizzy trolled even more on the ‘Gram.
