The Drake-Lamar feud in brief

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar escalated in 2013, when Lamar rapped a verse in Big Sean's Control, taking a dig at Drake as he claimed that he was the King of Rap. The feud continued as Drake dropped The Language, taking a jab at Lamar, suggesting that his claims were only for reactions.

The recent chapter of the feud began when Lamar rapped a verse in Like That suggesting that there is no "big three" but only "big me," in response to Drake's First Person Shooter.

Soon after this release, on April 19, 2024, the Canadian rapper dropped two diss tracks, Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle, referencing Lamar and calling him a coward.

In response, Lamar released a diss track, Euphoria on April 30. Later, the singer dropped another track aimed at Drake, 6:16 in LA. Drake then released Family Matters before Lamar responded with Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us on May 4. The Heart Part 6 by Drake then released on May 5, and it dug into and denied Lamar's allegations.
