In the latest twist of the ongoing rap saga between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the Toronto rapper has fired back with a scathing new track titled “The Heart Part 6.” This release follows Lamar’s recent drop of two singles, “Not Like Us” and “Meet the Grahams,” which intensified the rivalry.
Addressing Lamar directly, Drake suggests that instead of divulging personal information, Lamar has plenty of his own issues to address. He even claims to have deliberately misled sources, hoping Lamar would unwittingly incorporate false information into his lyrics.
Drake’s lyrics not only deny Lamar’s accusations but also critique the emotional toll of Lamar’s tracks, dubbing them “trauma for your own confessions.” He vehemently denies any involvement with minors, countering Lamar’s previous insinuations.
This back-and-forth exchange between the two artists dates back to Lamar’s initial shot with “Like That” in March, which sparked a cascade of diss tracks and responses. Drake’s retaliation, “Family Matters,” emerged just days ago, escalating the feud further.
Beyond just Drake and Lamar, this rap feud has drawn in various other artists who have either supported or distanced themselves from the conflict, making it a spectacle within the hip-hop community.
