Who is Whitney Alford? Cam'ron questions Kendrick Lamar's fiancée's ethnicity in wake of Drake diss track 

Rapper Cam'ron recently mentioned Kendrick Lamar’s fiancée Whitney Alford’s ethnicity after the latter released his Drake diss track “Euphoria”. Lamar seemingly questioned Drake’s inclination to his Black heritage through the lyrics:

“How many more fairytale stories 'bout your life 'til we had enough?/ How many more Black features 'til you finally feel that you're Black enough?”

Drake was born to a Caucasian mother and an African-American father, making him bi-racial. In “Euphoria”, Lamar called out the Toronto rapper for embracing his blackness only when it suits his convenience. He also seemingly implied that Canada-born Drake did not have the first-hand experience of growing up in the hood.

However, Kendrick’s lyrics presumably meant Drake often pretends to have the natural attributes of a hood rapper, which makes him inauthentic.

In the May 2 episode of Cam’ron’s Come & Talk 2 Me podcast, him and Mase discussed Lamar’s “Euphoria” and reactions garnered by the track. Both of them said Drake was winning the battle with his diss tracks “Push Ups” and the controversial “Taylor Made Freestyle”. At one point, Cam’ron said:

“I don’t want no problem. Kendrick Lamar’s wife is half-white…she is light-skinned.”

Cam'ron continued:

“I’m saying, if you’re accusing Drake and I’m not taking sides I’m just stating facts. If you’re accusing Drake of being half-white…and your wife is half-white. So, how do you attack him?”
