Drake and Kendrick Lamar have recently been making headlines for releasing diss tracks targeting each other. Moments after the former released Family Matters, Kendrick Lamar fired back with Meet the Grahams on May 4.
The lyrics of the track mentioned Ayahuasca, which the artist suggested Drake consume and "strip the ego." The lyrics stated:
"But I suggest some ayahuasca, strip the ego from the bottom. I try to empathize with you 'cause I know that you ain't been through nothin'. Crave entitlement, but wanna be liked so bad that it's puzzlin'."
Ayahuasca refers to a brew prepared with ingredients that have hallucinogenic properties, as per Healthline. It is made with stalks of the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and leaves of the Psychotria viridis shrub. As per the website, research suggests that Ayahuasca can also help with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety.
Although the brew is often associated with brain health, psychological well-being, and spiritual purposes, it also has a lot of risks. Some of its side effects include panic, paranoia, vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, and more.
While Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud has been ongoing for years, things took a turn when the former released Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle, referencing Lamar. Kendrick Lamar then responded with a diss track titled Euphoria, in which he criticized the rapper and also questioned his credibility.
The latest track before Meet the Grahams, titled 6:16 in LA also led to a lot of discussions among the public.
