Hey everyone, it's Patrick here, and I'm diving right into the latest on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, which has been heating up over the past few months.
Recently, Kendrick Lamar has been keeping the feud alive, especially during his Grand National stadium tour. On the first stop in Minnesota, Lamar continued to address the ongoing tensions with Drake, ensuring that the public remains engaged in this high-profile dispute.
The feud escalated significantly in May 2024 when Kendrick Lamar released "Not Like Us," a track where he made serious accusations against Drake, including allegations of pedophilia and labeling him a "colonizer." Drake quickly responded with "The Heart Part 6," denying these allegations and claiming that his team had been fed false information about a second child.
Drake took it a step further by filing a lawsuit against Universal Music Group, their shared record label, in January 2025. He alleged that the release of "Not Like Us" was defamatory and that the label had used illegal tactics to promote the song.
Despite the legal battle, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" garnered significant recognition, earning him five Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. He also performed this track, along with "Euphoria," at Super Bowl LIX.
The feud has been a subject of both praise and criticism, with some appreciating the spectacle it brings to hip-hop and others condemning the serious accusations and responses from both artists.
As of now, both Drake and Kendrick Lamar continue to release new music, with Drake announcing new tracks set to drop, keeping the public on the edge of their seats as this feud shows no signs of slowing down.
