Drake Vs Lamar beef- an entire timeline
The rap battle began after Lamar targetted J. Cole and Drake on Like That, citing the lyrics to the latter's song First Person Shooter.
On April 19, Drizzy formally started the rap battle with a full diss track against Lamar as he released Push Ups. Since then, the rappers have been releasing diss tracks targeting each other.
Lamar released two diss tracks back-to-back on May 3. They are 6:16 in LA and Euphoria. After 14 hours, the Canadian rapper, too, launched Family Matters.
Soon later, Lamar launched Meet the Grahams, where he talked about some gossip and Ozempic rumors directed at his professional rival. He also made grave accusations of addiction, abuse, and a secret second child.
When Lamar released Not Like Us on May 4, his accusations against Drizzy became more detailed. Then, with the defensive The Heart Part 6 on Sunday, May 5, Drizzy made his debut in Kendrick Lamar's well-known The Heart series.
