Drake & Kendrick Lamar Drag Their Families Into Beef

Chile! Drake and Kendrick Lamar are pulling personal cards in their ongoing rap beef. Both artists dropped new diss tracks on Friday (May 3) and dragged each other’s families and kids 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 went IN on K Dot, Rick Ross, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and A$AP Rocky. He also mentioned Future, suggesting Metro tricked him into fueling the beef.

Drizzy started the track by trolling Kendrick for saying he hates it when the Canadian says the n-word. Then, he warned K Dot that mentioning his “seed,” meaning his son Adonis, caused this response.

He also clarified that unless K Dot has receipts behind his allegations, it’s “fake tea.”

 “Out here begging for attention, say please. Always rapping like you ’bout to get the slaves free. You just acting like an activist, it’s make-believe. Don’t even go back to your hood and plant no money trees. Say you hate the girls, I f**k, but what do you really mean? I been with Black and white and everything that’s in-between. You, the Black Messiah, wifing up a mixed queen,” he rapped.

Kendrick aside, Drake called his other targets to the stage by their legal names. He told Abel, AKA The Weeknd, to up his jewelry game and told Rakim, AKA A$AP Rocky, that his fashion makes more headlines than his music. Then, he addressed Future, calling him Pluto and suggesting Metro Boomin (real name Leland Tyler Wayne) influenced their fallout.

“Pluto sh*t make me sick to my stomach, we ain’t never really been through it. Leland Wayne, he a f**king lame so I know he had to be an influence. These n****s had a plan and they finally found a way to work you into it,” Drake rapped. “K Dot sh*t is only hititng hard when Baby Keem put his pen to it. Ross calling me the white boy and it kinda got a ring to it cause all these rappers waving white flags while the whole club sing to it.”

To close out the song, Drake clowned Kendrick for defending Pharell in a previous track, named K Dot’s daddy and uncle, and called him a liar and abuser.

“Our sons should go play at the park, two lightskin kids that sh*t would be cute. Unless you don’t wanna be seen, with anyone that isn’t Blacker than you. We get it, we got it. The blacker the berry the sweeter. We get that you like to put gin in your juice. We get that you think you Bishop in ‘Juice.’ When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense since she bigger than you?”

Meanwhile, minutes after Drake dropped, Kendrick released ‘Meet The Grahams.’ In addition to name-dropping Adonis, K Dot also called out Drake’s parents and suggested the rapper is hiding a daughter. He called him a deadbeat who is ashamed of his kids’ mothers.

“Dear baby girl, I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world. He don’t commit to much but his music, yeah that’s for sure. He a narcissist, misogynist, living inside his songs. Try to destroy families instead of taking care of his own. Should be teaching your times table or watching frozen with you. Or at your 11th birthday singing palms with you. Instead he be in Turks paying for sex and popping Percs.” 

Lamar also played up rumors of Drizzy having cosmetic surgery and using the weight loss drug Ozempic. Notably, he suggested Drake is a lurking sexual “predator” that should “die” and advised people to keep their families away from him.

A Lil’ Timeline Of The Beef

As we’ve already told you, this year, Kendrick seemingly took the first shots from the booth back in March. He took aim at Drizzy and J. Cole in Future and Metro Boomin’s song, ‘Like That.’ Cole responded with the diss ‘7 Minute Drill,’ but he walked it back two days after its release with a public apology to K Dot.

In mid-April, a response diss from Drizzy leaked online, and the rapper eventually released it on streaming platforms under the name ‘Push Ups.’ Before Kendrick could respond, Drake followed up with ‘Taylor Made Freestyle,’ which featured AI-generated vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. The Canadian rapper later removed the second diss from social media, allegedly after Pac’s estate reportedly threatened a lawsuit.

Amid all that, A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd joined the beef by hopping on Future & Metro Boomin’s second album drop. Rick Ross also inserted himself last month on social media and by releasing ‘Champagne Moments.’

Early this week, Lamar went IN on Drake for six minutes in another diss track ‘Euphoria.’ Kendrick dragged Drizzy over his use of the n-word, questioned his Black identity and role as a father, and listed off qualities about the rapper he hates.

Drake first responded with a lil’ social media trolling, posting a clip from the movie ’10 Things I Hate About You.’ In the hours leading to the release of ‘Family Matters,’ Drizzy trolled some more on the ‘gram.
