Kiyan Anthony wants Drake to come up with the rapper's "Marvin's Room" kind of rap song next time to address his feud with Kendrick Lamar. In the "7 PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony & Kid Mero" podcast, Paul George and Kiyan Anthony were the guests.

The four discussed the long-standing feud between the two rap stars that grew even more intense after Lamar released the "Not Like Us" music video. With Drake at the receiving end of the jabs from Lamar, Kiyan was asked what type of rap he wanted Drake to come with. Kiyan replied:

"Like Marvin's Room"

Carmelo Anthony admired his son's choice later.

"Marvin's Room is a different vibe," Carmelo said.

Paul George and Carmelo Anthony emphasized the stature Drake enjoys in the rap world. They agreed that Drake was going to get the 'fire material' to the fore soon.

$140 million Kendrick Lamar (via Celebrity Net Worth) accused Drake of stealing black American culture from his tracks. He upped the ante against Drake in June of this year by releasing diss tracks against him.

In July 2023, after performing at a concert in Madison Square Garden, Drake spotted a familiar face in the crowd. He made his way through the crowd and happily greeted and hugged Kiyan. Later, he took a photograph with him.

Kiyan was born into a family with dual influences of sports and culture. His father is a basketball legend, while his mother, La La, is an actress and a producer.

When it came to Kiyan Anthony, Drake showed nothing but love. But when it came to Carmelo Anthony, Drake participated in the war.

Drake visited Nike's headquarters in Beaverton in September 2022 and participated in a 3-point competition against Carmelo. Drake nailed one but missed the rest of his shots.

Carmelo had to shoot 5 3-pointers to gain victory and he did it comfortably while Jayson Tatum and Russell Westbrook looked on. When Carmelo was about to nail his fifth shot, Drake ran to get hold of the ball in the air.

Anthony's family shares deep connections with the hip-hop world. Rapper Jadakiss calls Carmelo his little brother.
