Drake has always been a magnet for attention. His strange journey has taken him from teen fame on Degrassi to blockbuster rap stardom. In 2024, his beef with Kendrick Lamar has blown up into one of the all-time biggest hip-hop beefs. They went from zero to 100 real quick, sending deadly insults and accusations back and forth. Yet he’s also the Drake the pop icon, the certified loverboy who sings emo ballads like the 2015 classic “Hotline Bling.”

It was the feud heard round the world — still is, really. Kendrick Lamar and Drake have traded diss tracks back and forth, and they went beyond petty beefs. Drake accused Lamar of domestic abuse, while Lamar called Drake a “certified pedophile.” In the end Lamar was considered the winner of the war according to Andre Gee of Rolling Stone and Joseph Patterson of Complex UK and Trench Magazine, among others, and their relative commercial performances bear that out, with Lamar’s “Not Like Us” topping the Billboard Hot 100. But could Grammy darling Lamar win more Grammys for so directly calling out another Grammy winner?
The Grammys have previously awarded artists for addressing their grievances in song. After a savage backlash against The Chicks for criticizing then-President George W. Bush, the trio doubled down and declared that they were “Not Ready to Make Nice,” ultimately winning Record of the Year...

Vince Staples has released his new album, Dark Times, via Def Jam Recordings.
Dark Times contains 13 tracks and was recorded over seven months in North Hollywood. In an Instagram post, Staples revealed the album is his final release on Def Jam.
“Eleven years ago, a young, uncertain version of myself was given an opportunity with Def Jam Recordings,” he wrote. “I released my first project under their banner, Shyne Coldchain Vol 2, a year later. I was unsure of what to expect from the world of music but deeply aware of what I needed: a change in my surroundings and a clear understanding of self. Ten years and seven projects later, I’ve found that clarity.”
In a separate statement about the album cover, which features a faintly seen noose, Staples explained, “I’m Black, and that’s what we’re evading. We all have our things that could kill us.

One of the biggest and most sensational developments in modern hip-hop came in the form of the recent Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud. The two rap giants have moved ahead in a tussle, with several diss tracks being fired from both sides. Additionally, it has also involved other rappers such as the likes of Ye, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd, calling them to choose their team. Now, in an interesting development, the latest pair to get involved in this mix is the father-son duo of Tom Hanks and Chet Hanks.

Regardless, the summary still highlighted the intensity of the feud and its knocking on the Hanks’ doors.

Like many other folks approaching 70, Tom Hanks found himself out of the loop when the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake dominated headlines during the first week of May. So, he reached out to his son and hip-hop enthusiast, Chet Hanks, for an explanation and got a far longer response than he expected — so much so that he apparently didn’t bother reading the reply.
Chet posted the exchange in his Instagram Stories today (May 20th), which began with his father saying, “Big Main, can you explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?”
In response, Chet broke down how Drake and J. Cole had long claimed they were among the “Big 3” of hip-hop alongside Kendrick Lamar, which prompted Kendrick to come after them on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.”
He continued by referring to Drake’s short jokes on “Push Ups” before moving on to the meat of the beef on “euphoria,...

This week, the Number One song in America is a diss track. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” debuted at the top of the charts, to the surprise of no one who’s seen the track go viral since its release earlier this month. The song is buoyed by a catchy DJ Mustard beat and a slew of unforgettably delivered lyrics by Kendrick — even if the lines are vulgar barbs toward his rival Drake.
What does the record’s success mean? For one, it highlights how desensitized we are as a music-listening public.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss, “Not Like Us,” has brought him back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, debuting on the chart at No. 1.
The scathing track is one of four songs from the beef appearing in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 this week. His own “euphoria” rose to No. 3 from No. 11 in its second week on the chart, with the Future and Metro Boomin collaboration “Like That” coming in at No. 6. Meanwhile, Drake’s “Family Matters” debuts at No. 7.
“Not Like Us” marks Kendrick’s fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100 after his Taylor Swift collaboration “Bad Blood,” 2017’s “Humble.,” and the aforementioned “Like That.”
Produced by Mustard, “Not Like Us” served as a victory lap of sorts for Kendrick, coming one day after he hit back at “Family Matters” with the thermonuclear “Meet the Grahams.” Despite featuring club-ready production, the track features further allegations of Drake’s preference...

When USC professor and hip-hop scholar Todd Boyd remembers hearing Tupac Shakur’s scathing diss track “Hit ‘Em Up,” he knew one thing: “This is not going to end well.”
The West Coast anthem was released in June 1996 and Shakur viciously took aim at his East Coast rivals, including the Notorious B.I.G. with claims — through strikingly chosen words — that he slept with Biggie’s wife, R&b singer Faith Evans.
The rap war escalated to new heights, and three months later Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas, with some wondering (though apparently incorrectly) whether the beef had anything to with it. And a few months after that, Biggie was shot dead in Los Angeles though his killer never apprehended.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s current rap beef has Boyd reflecting on the past.

Questlove has called out Kendrick Lamar and Drake for stooping down to “mudslinging” in their ongoing beef.
In an Instagram post with the caption, “Here We Are Now… Entertain us,” the Roots drummer slammed the rappers for digging up each other’s dirtiest secrets and making salacious allegations that dragged family members into their feud.
“Nobody won the war,” Questlove wrote. “This wasn’t about skill. This was a wrestling match level mudslinging and takedown by any means necessary — women & children (& actual facts) be damned.”
He continued by criticizing rap fans for feeding into the beef: “Same audience wanting blood will soon put up ‘rip’ posts like they weren’t part of the problem. Hip Hop is truly dead.”

Since last week, Kendrick Lamar has released four diss tracks aimed at Drake, the ultimate target of his pure disdain. Drake managed to get some shots in, too, with two pointed responses released in the past few days. The Canadian rapper has, at least for now, gotten the last word in the feud that Kendrick emerged victorious from — but their beef is no longer their own as external figures pick sides.
On Tuesday, it was discovered that a graffiti artist tagged the storefront window of Drake’s October’s Very Own store location in London.

But the bulk of the war has been fought, and the crown goes to Compton. In hindsight, the way Drake poked the bear with Instagram Stories provocations and his “Taylor Made” freestyle seems masochistic. Over the past week, Lamar hit Drake with a relentless volley of diss songs that comprehensively dismantled his opponent’s character and, with “Not Like Us,” may make him the punchline of the summer.

What is the world of rap without feuds? Well, the music world is on fire as of late, as Drake and Kendrick Lamar have spent the better part of the last month and a half throwing diss tracks at one another in a constant stream. That’s right, we now have a Pulitzer Prize winner in a rap war…Damn.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been going at it for over a decade at this point. Even though they formerly collaborated on a number of projects in the early 2010s, their partnership, like so many in the rap world, fell apart. While the first diss track came sometime back in 2013, the clash between Drake and Kendrick Lamar is at an all-time high. The trigger for this thread goes back to March’s “Like That”, in which Lamar distanced himself from his former friend. Drake hit back the following month on...

The Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud continues to escalate after the Canadian rapper released “The Heart Part 6,” a new diss track Sunday night that pushed back against some of the sexual predator allegations made by Lamar in a series of songs released over the last week.
The biggest rap feud in years has increasingly become vitriolic and personal, and has seen both Drake and Lamar throw unsubstantiated allegations at each other. Among them, Drake has accused Lamar of physically abusing his partner, and Lamar suggested Drake has a hidden love child. In his last few tracks, Lamar has focused on allegations that Drake is a sexual predator, and in the song “Meet the Grahams,” which was released May 3, he directly accuses Drake of harboring “sex offenders” at his label Ovo and even calls his rival a “pervert” for his alleged interest in younger women. He also raps that “we gotta...

Drake responded quickly to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” dropping “The Heart Part 6” on Sunday, a day after Lamar’s latest diss, which accuses Drake of being a “certified pedophile.” He also shut down that he had a secret daughter, which Lamar alludes to in Friday’s barb “Meet the Grahams.” That track was a quick-hit response to Drake’s “Family Matters,” also from Friday, which alleges infidelity in Lamar’s relationship.

Drake has returned fire at Kendrick Lamar with the Sunday night drop of a new diss track called “The Heart Part 6.” The song’s title is a reference to Lamar’s own single series of the same name.
The track mostly finds Drake on the defensive, as he disputes allegations made by Lamar that he has a secret daughter, is on Ozempic, and has sexual relations with underage girls. As Drake tells it, he intentionally fed Lamar’s camp false information and they fell for it.
“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information/ A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it/ We thought about giving a fake name or a destination/ But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” Drake raps.
Drake also claims, without evidence, that Lamar was molested as a child: “This when your father leave you home alone...

Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s feud is escalating rapidly.
The 36-year-old rapper called the 37-year-old Canadian superstar a “pedophile” in a new diss track called “Not Like Us,” released less than 24 hours after his headline-making “Meet The Grahams.”
The cover art shows Drake‘s home with sex offender beacons.
“Why you trollin’ like a bitch? Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor,” he raps in the song, accusing Drake of liking his women young. “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.”
He released “Meet The Grahams” earlier in the weekend, warning Lebron James and Steph Curry to keep their families away from Drake because he’s a “pervert.” He also accuses Drake of having a secret daughter: “You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh.”
A source close to Drake tells TMZ that the allegation about a secret child is an “utter fabrication.
