Read about the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar here
A long-simmering feud between rap titans Drake and Kendrick Lamar exploded into allegations of pedophilia, abuse and infidelity over the weekend, sending shockwaves through the world of hip-hop and beyond. Drake, the highest-grossing rapper in the world last year, and Kendrick Lamar, a Pulitzer Prize winner, have been locked in an escalating war of words in a music genre long known for celebrating and obsessing over beef between its biggest stars. But while the pair's previous exchanges have focused on disputes like which man is the bigger star, lyrics in tracks released by both artists over the past few days went far beyond the usual jibes.
"Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young / You better not ever go to cell block one," said Kendrick Lamar in his track Not Like Us, in which he specifically raps about "certified pedophiles." Los Angeles-born Kendrick Lamar's lyrics accuse Drake, who is from Canada and is of biracial heritage, of being "not a colleague" but a "colonizer" of Black American culture.
And in another song released this weekend, Meet the Grahams, Kendrick Lamar alleges that Drake -- whose real name is Aubrey Graham -- has a secret daughter.
