Drake’s swift response to Kendrick Lamar’s latest diss track, “6:16,” came in the form of “Family Matters,” released just over 12 hours later. This track not only serves as a clap-back at Kendrick but also includes jabs at other artists who have mentioned Drake since Kendrick’s initial call-out on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin.
For the first time amid their ongoing feud, Drake’s tone is notably angry. It’s possible that Kendrick’s mention of Drake’s parenting provoked this response, as Drake wastes no time diving into personal attacks, including insinuations about Kendrick’s relationship with his fiancée, Whitney Alford.
Drake’s lyrics contain some outrageous accusations, suggesting Kendrick’s potential physical abuse towards Alford and insinuating that one of Kendrick’s children may not be his own. He also undermines Kendrick’s racially charged lyrics from “Euphoria,” accusing him of hypocrisy and questioning his authenticity as an activist.
Despite the intensity of these attacks, Drake still finds time to lash out at other opponents, including The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, Rick Ross, and Future. These additional targets receive their own share of criticism, ranging from drug addiction accusations to questioning their relevance in the music industry.
“Family Matters” serves as Drake’s unfiltered response to Kendrick Lamar’s provocations, highlighting the escalating tensions between the two artists.
