AceShowbiz - As Kendrick Lamar continues celebrating his triumph, Drake seems to be struggling to recover from their ongoing feud. The Pop Out concert was just one example of Lamar's dominance, seeing the rapper unite the West Coast hip-hop scene. Meanwhile, Drake remains isolated with his performances and social media activities raising questions.
Most recently, Drake was revealed to have participated in a social media poll for the best diss track from his battle with Lamar. The poll included some of the most notorious disses, like Drake's own "Family Matters" and K. Dot's "Not Like Us." Fans are eager to know which song Drake chose, and whether he's still bothered by his defeat.
The Lamar-Drake feud has its roots in earlier collaborations and Lamar's 2013 guest appearance on Big Sean's "Control," where he proclaimed himself the "King of New York" and "King of the Coast." Drake dismissed the lyrics as "ambitious."
Over the years, both artists have continued to take shots at each other in their songs. The latest escalation began in October 2023, when Drake released "First Person Shooter" with J. Cole, who referred to the three of them as the "Big Three." Lamar took offense and responded with "Like That" on Future and Metro Boomin's album "We Don't Trust You."
The follow-up album, "We Still Don't Trust You", added more fuel to the fire, with lyrics targeting Drake. J. Cole briefly joined the battle but quickly withdrew and apologized for his diss track.
Drake retaliated with "Push Ups," mocking Lamar's height and pop collaborations while Lamar fired back with "Euphoria," accusing Drake of infidelity and abuse. Drake's "Family Matters" took the battle to a personal level, making allegations about Lamar's family. Lamar responded with "Meet the Grahams," leveling severe accusations of pedophilia and sexual trafficking against Drake.
Drake's "The Heart Part 6" attempted to redirect the allegations, but it failed to gain traction. His defensive lyrics were deemed by many as signs of his defeat. Kendrick continued his onslaught with "Not Like Us," doubling down on his accusations.
Finally, Drake seemed to throw in the towel, posting a picture with the caption "Good times. Summer vibes up next." after weeks of intense conflict.
