Drake has seemingly had a change of heart regarding his final Kendrick Lamar diss, quietly deleting all traces of “The Heart Part 6” from social media.
Released in early May, the song only lived on YouTube to begin with and wasn’t made available on streaming services. Drizzy promoted the drop with a post on Instagram, but eagle-eyed fans noticed early Tuesday (June 4) that the post has disappeared.
Taking its name from Kendrick’s fan-favorite “The Heart” song series, the track finds the 6 God largely going on the defensive, denying K. Dot’s accusations that he’s a sexual predator who preys on underage girls and secretly welcomed a daughter over a decade ago.
Drake ends the song by throwing down the gauntlet, telling Kendrick: “Just let me know when we’re getting to the facts. Everything in my shit is facts; I’m waiting on you to return the favor.”
He further challenged the Compton rapper in the since-deleted Instagram post, writing: “And we know you’re dropping 6 mins after so instead of posting my address you have a lot to address.”
Amid the multi-song beef, Drake also released the Kendrick diss “Taylor Made Freestyle” as part of the battle; which he soon had to remove it from all platforms, as 2Pac’s estate did not take kindly to the use of an AI version of the late rapper’s voice.
The song, which featured AI vocals from both Pac and Snoop Dogg, was officially removed from Drake’s social media pages after the “Dear Mama” rapper’s estate gave Drizzy 24 hours to take down the controversial track.
In a cease and desist letter issued in April, Pac’s estate said: “The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality. Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.
“The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.
“If you comply, the estate will consider whether an informal negotiation to resolve this matter makes sense. If you do not comply, our client has authorized this firm to pursue all of its legal remedies including, but not limited to, an action for violation of […] the estate’s copyright, publicity and personality rights and the resulting damages, injunctive relief, and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.”
I hate you Lamerick fans. You know how much time I spent on YT having this song on repeat for views with the rest of the Drizettes? Shame on y’all. Drizzy is a good person and all y’all are just meanies.
How much Ovo dick do you gobble in a day, seriously?
L after L after L after L after L after L
Yeah, cuz that shit was awful.
Welp, sombody missed the mark. I was hoping that he’d vanish.
Cocksuckers stay homo. Nothing can be done.
Bendrick Lames is always going to be their bottom bitch. nothing anyone can do about it now.
You’re a power bottom bitch for your daddy drake
Drake won when kendrick failed to respond
Had no need to respond because the general consensus is he’s already won and it’s clear as day. Only butthurt Drake fans in denial will say otherwise.
Fake news. Post is still there
Quietly? Wait like, you mean pressing “delete” doesn’t set off a nuclear bomb or something? Modern journalism just adds stupidly descriptive words for no apprent reason, other than trying to sound more sophisticated or interesting.
You all know the song is still on Twitter & YouTube, right….?

So it didnt feel good to get the pen out after all Drake.
Because it was a comically stupid response where he actually claimed that he couldn’t be a pedophile because he was famous.
man’s highlighting, understriking, boldening, and italicizing the L in BBL Drizzy 😭
Change of heart
