Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s ongoing feud has gone to a dark place as both rappers are now taking shots at each other’s families. With two new diss tracks out by each rapper, released an hour apart, the beef has entered a new phase.
In the early hours of Friday (May 3), K.Dot amped up the rivalry by dropping “6:16 in LA.” A follow up to “euphoria” from earlier in the week, the cut alleges that people in Drizzy’s own team are praying on his downfall and even leaking information to his adversaries.
That same evening, the Canadian superstar responded with a seven-plus minute joint packaged with a music video that shows a 1996 Chrysler Town & Country (the same make and model of car displayed on the cover art of good kid, m.A.A.d city‘s deluxe edition) being taken to the junkyard and crushed.
In addition to reprising the “Drop, Drop, Drop” from the “Push Ups” outro, the 6 God takes the war of words to a new place by accusing his rival of domestic violence, insincere racial activism, distancing himself from his native state of California and nudging 2Pac‘s estate to have his “Taylor Made Freestyle” removed from social-media platforms, among countless other jabs.
“When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense ’cause she bigger than you?” he raps, poking fun at the Compton native’s height as he has before.
About the Los Angeles native’s image as a force of social commentary, he adds: “Always rappin’ like you ’bout to get the slaves freed/ You just actin’ like an activist, it’s make-believe.”
In addition to suggesting The Weeknd‘s fan base is mostly queer folk, reminding the Hip Hop community of Rick Ross‘ past as a law enforcement officer and firing shots at Kanye West, Future and Metro Boomin, the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker also sets a few bars aside for A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers).
“Rakim talkin’ shit again/ Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first, nigga, do the math, who I was hittin’ then?/ I ain’t even know you rapped still ’cause they only talkin’ ’bout your ‘fit again/ Probably gotta have a kid again ‘fore you think of droppin’ any shit again,” Drake spits, seemingly energizing rumors about he and Rihanna being romantically linked in the past while dragging her current partner for his thinning involvement in the music space over recent years.
Check out the full song below:
Less than an hour after the above track surfaced, Kendrick Lamar posted his rebuttal. “meet the grahams” clocks in at roughly six-and-a-half minutes and addresses each member of Drake’s immediate family — Adonis (son), Sandy (mother) and Dennis (father) — in addition to the Toronto MC himself, who is referred to by his real name, Aubrey Graham.
“But you fucked up the moment you called out my family’s name/ Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people?” Kung-Fu Kenny raps in the verse devoted to his peer after making some bold claims of his own. Over the deeply personal attack, he implies that Drizzy uses Ozempic (the cover art even shows a prescription for the medication made out to him), is hiding a daughter and hires sex offenders, in addition to a number of other shots.
“You got gamblin’ problems, drinkin’ problems, pill-poppin’ and spendin’ problems,” K.Dot spits, before suggesting that his enemy has several children he has abandoned: “You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh/ You lied about them other kids that’s out there hopin’ that you come.”
In keeping with the theme of the 6 God being unfit to be around kids, he adds: “He got sex offenders on ho-VO that he keep on a monthly allowance/ A child should never be compromised and he keepin’ his child around them/ And we gotta raise our daughters knowin’ there’s predators like him lurkin.’”
Check out the full song below:
Both tracks are ripe with one allegation after another, a number of which have yet to be verified — though the seriousness of the claims has certainly set a new tone for the beef.
Ever since the Compton native’s feature verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” took the Hip Hop circuit by storm, a number of high-profile artists have joined in, with Rick Ross, The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky and Kanye West joining K.Dot’s side and J. Cole withdrawing from the beef altogether after releasing a diss track of his own.
Imagine losing 2 raps beefs and you still didn’t write a word by yourself. Incredible
i mean.. youre not wrong. i don’t mind drake but it’s kind of hard taking him seriously when you know it’s not really his words. drake isn’t a battle rapper. he makes music to dance to in a club
Kendrick’s most recent one went harder than Pusha T’s imo
Imagine your girl unfollowed you and followed the real father after your ops dissed you lmao. Kendrick groupies can’t believe their hotep warrior is a woman beater who doesn’t like black women lmao

Kendrick’s already got more views than Drake’s and it released later. W
Covered this yesterday. Both “Real Mothaphuckin Gz” and “Fuck with Dre Day” were written diss songs for the performers. Don’t be that guy who makes special rules for Drake because you don’t like him.
@Silent_Partner those songs were trash lol
Not True, I wrote the check
@Uhhwhat,
They were trash according to you but are held up as West Coast legendary diss songs. If you don’t like that style music, that’s you, but a lot of people, including most of the West Coast fans who are siding with Kendrick just because they share a coast liked them when they came out. So let’s not do revisionist history. Some of you people don’t know your hip hop history despite saying you do. The only reason the write your raps thing became a thing is because Cube went at NWA with that angle.
Kendrick on another level. Drake’s team can’t keep up
I wonder if it’s even worth it for Drake to respond at this point. I like them both so I find this very entertaining.
Pusha had more for drake but drake ran away
Snoop dogg didn’t even come to his side after Taylor Made dropped. That was a slap in the face in itself. TDE has barely even came to his defense. I think the real rappers thinks it’s a joke on both sides.
More than enough people have said as much. If you grew up in the 90s rap game, you think this shit is a whole bunch of nonsense. None of these diss songs is cracking the top 50.
Yep, Drake and Kendrick would be nobodies in the 90s.
Love it…need 2 more tracks from them…Bu then again who’s counting ?
Seriously, much of the attacks at Drake have already been done before. I think Pusha T did so much damage and cover so much that if it was Kendrick, due to being more famous, Drake would be done by now.
I don’t think either of them have anything new to say except that Kendrick is finally revealing he hates Drake, which has been kind of obvious for a while now. He’s just announcing it to the world finally. But this is apparently what the game has been missing. Dumb mofos rooting each side on like sports fans or some shit. SMH. Hip hop sales numbers going to keep going down. Low vibrational music.
Nah I’m not rooting for any side
I do want to see someday die though
For the culture 💯💯💯
How many kids you hiding degenerate WHITE BOOOOOI! Now we know what the CLB cover is a about 🤰#DEADBEATBBLDRIZZY
Why do you weirdos need someone to announce their kid? Kendrick been hiding his forever and he’s raising another man’s kid.
Cause only broke bitches wanna sleep with
Is Kendrick sick or something..what’s wrong with his voice and cadence..no energy
Drake use different flows and cadences. He has real talent and all his opps (rivals) are jealous of all his success and accomplishments.
Be salty if y’all want but Drake is still the better rapper. I’m riding with Drizzy til the end.
Now all we need is for someone to die now we got the bars.
Now it’s time for someone to die
For the culture!!!!
So you think he’s a good performer then. Cool
Okay, you first.
He used Fetty Wap flow.
I farted
Is Kendrick sick or something..what’s wrong with his voice and cadence..no energy
No energy because he is talking directly to the people in the track. Its a choice of delivery. And it works with the beat selection and message. Not every diss song gotta habe X Gon Give it To Ya energy.
Drake shit all over Ricky Ross just like when Ricky od’d and seizured and shit all over himself in bed with a prostitute.
Drake over Kendrick. Even though the beef is Stupid, only way to tell who stands the test of time, Look at Ja Rule he never recovered.
Shut Up, Bitch
Your Mother is a Bitch… Now have seat and wash your mouth..
Your Mother Is Bitch..
I love hip hop I hope someone dies now

More rancid beef. But this is what the game was missing according to the dickriders egging this shit on. Both of them read gossip columns despite all of these celebrities claiming they don’t. All of this shit has been out forever and a day on popular celebrity forums. Kendrick going to the conspiracy rabbit hole/Drake going to the Media Takeout celebrity gossip spin cycle, even though he did keep his comical. I said it a month ago, J. Cole the only person with an ounce of sense to not let these white executives use him for this bullshit. Kendrick hates Drake, but should have stood on that 13 years ago before grabbing his hand when nobody was fucking with him, and Drake is an asshole who like Kanye said will do anything to destroy you. Kendrick makes terrible music, and Drake hasn’t had a good project in almost ten years now.
Most sensible commentary in this thread. This beef rancid cause yall know the industry even more rotten
The dude said Kendrick makes terrible music. What’s sensible about that? You and him both…shut up.
@No,
Sorry, but I don’t look to half literate rappers for deep messages in music. I’ve said this forever and a day when dummies are debating the best “lyricist” in an art form that reads like some remedial shit when you read it off a page. That’s basically what every Kendrick Lamar fan starts off with, his music is so deep. Grown people talking about his songs made them cry like some weirdos.
Never about what it sounds like, and that’s because it sucks. Dude can actually spit his ass off, but he has no idea how to make good music. I hate the vapid club rap as much as the next real hip hop head, but I’m not going to co-sign unlistenable bullshit either. The sad part is that there were dudes like Crook, Ras Kass, etc. who didn’t blow who did it a jillion percent better than him in their prime, but this is the asshole who made it now putting out this gibberish because he had the Interscope machine behind him long enough to let him blow in this mediocre era.
Drake over Kendrick. Beef is over Jealousy of Drake success,only way to tell who stands the test of time, Look at Ja Rule he never recovered. Would have been better if they released albums at the same time on the same day.

Diss records aren’t suppose to be lined with hidden messages. They suppose to be straight to the point, with a good beat and melody. That’s why Hit ‘em Up is Classic. 6God checks all boxes. The media and delusional fan boys will have you thinking Kendrick is better than Jay, Nas, Big, Lupe and etc.
If you think meet the grahamsnisnt straight to the point I dont know what to tell you. Sure it has a lot of easter eggs in iy too but the message is clear. Drake is a pedo predator that has got to go.
I’m gonna have to go with Kung Fu Kenny on this one. Can’t stop listening to meet the grahams!
kdot for the win on this one
Drakes team really tried with this one and I think they did a decent job but Kendrick cannot be beat. I think Kendrick wins at the moment. This is great for hip hop. Hope they both keep them coming.
Kendrick killed it on this one. Definitely putting meet the grahams on repeat all day today
If you wanna hear a whiny voice all night, you can come over and F me in the A. Because that’s what Kendrick sounds like. Solid lyrics, gay sonicly.
Drake just keeps losing. So fun to watch
Drake get the honeys that’s why all his former collaborators turned rivals. Drake’s singing is smooth like foreplay. Lol.
Drake’s terrible singing is the worst part of his persona.
I wonder if Flex, Cam and Mase still think Drake won.
Pretty sure they’re still going to side with him. Flex I think hates Kendrick off of the secondary Pac hate since Kendrick is a devoted follower. The others aren’t going to be moved by this song, especially since it’s being reported the daughter angle was bad information. As usual with these two, Kendrick raps better, but Drake makes better songs. Kendrick also tried to pull off the Pusha thing again, and he didn’t stick the landing because he’s too emotionally invested. He clearly hates dude, and emotion will fuck you up in battle. When Pusha did his song, it was on some funny shit.
This so-called beef is deeply rooted in jealousy. It’s like that “Drizzy took your ex” kinda vibe and now he’s being hated on. That Drake “Family matters” is rather entertaining.
Kendrick will always be a fake studio gangster who relies on taylor swift for hits. Drake has way more memorable albums and no.1 singles than Ken doll
Preach!
Don’t forget to mention that you also suck Drake’s dick too!
Drake is the better performer. No contest.
They Both landed solid on their new disses. Drake came back pretty tough, his first diss wasn’t good. But family matters hit good, it was definitely his first cut to Kendrick. But It hurt Drake a little that Kendrick came right back the same day even if it was pre recorded it was a good move. Both records were disrespectful, Still got Kendrick up, but Drake still in it.
These two need to F already. This is fruitier than a Diddy party back room.
Early December Drake and his rivals will be drinking champagne on the roof of a penthouse in New York City laughing over their short lived fake beef.

This beef is so stupid. The music industry using this as a cover for people not to pay attention to what’s going on with Puffy and them. These two don’t even have any real problems with each other.
all this talk over dudes who are distracting everyone from their top bosses working together to drop bombs. if you choose any one of them over the other you are ghey.

Cole made the right decision to get out of this
only losers think Drake doesn’t write his own raps. you can wish and hope on it as much as you want. he’s only here because of his pen. kendrick threw his career away over some little man syndrome. he really believes all this dumb I’m number one hype. complete idiot like his fans. just seems gay
ATTENTION: Karenn the pathetic sheep simp Indlan culture vulture Sing and the rest of the non-credible, fraudulent, embarrassing, laughable, corny, cringy, retarded DuncecapD/X SHIT STAFF: YOU SUPER SLOW SH0RT BUS RIDERS HAVE ALREADY REACHED YOUR OVER RATED AF FRUIT CAKE DRAKE AND KENDRICK LAMER DISS QUOTA FOR THE MONTH LIKE 148 ARTICLES AGO.

This got cringe real fast
Kendrick dropped another one called Not Like Us. Club banger.
🤷🏾♂️Who is Drake🤷🏾♂️
I can’t wait until someone dies
I can’t wait until someone dies
Never been a fan of drake, and i haven’t bothered listening to any of the diss tracks he has made, but whoever wrote “When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense ’cause she bigger than you?” is hilarious.
