JPEGMAFIA hints at Drake's pedophile allegations in new track

JPEGMAFIA's latest album, I Lay Down My Life For You, features a track called It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. Through this song, the rapper has hinted at the pedophile accusations posed by Kendrick Lamar on Drake. He has used terms like "Drac', I ain't playin' with kids."

The rapper's latest song refers to Kendrick Lamar's Euphoria, given he also addressed Drizzy as 'Drac' in the diss track. Additionally, the song's title is based on the late rapper DMX's first 1998 album with the same name. DMX reportedly despised Drake and was vocal about the same during his career.

Moreover, JPEGMAFIA gave an interview to Billboard in August 2018 wherein he talked about the reason he disses Drake every time he gets a chance. He told the publication that he doesn't know why he has "been randomly dissing Drake for like five years".

Putting the hatred assumptions to an end, the artist stated:

"I thought before, I don’t actually have a problem with Drake. I really don’t hate him. I guess it’s my f****d up, trolly internet way of paying homage to him and just paying homage to how big he actually is."

The Thug Tears rapper also called Drake the "omni-king," adding that he is ever-present.
