Celebrity Buzz: Drake Responding Track To Diss Track From Kendrick Lamar: How The Beef started And who Is finishing It
In a hip-hop showdown that has fans on the edge of their seats, Drake and Kendrick Lamar are locked in a lyrical feud that shows no signs of slowing down. Let’s dive into the details of how this beef started and who might have the last word.
The Origins of the Feud
- Collaboration Turned Competition (2011)
- Back in 2011, Kendrick Lamar featured on Drake’s album “Take Care.” The track “Buried Alive Interlude” showcased Lamar’s talent, but it also planted the seeds of rivalry. Lamar’s line, “So blame it on Mr. OVOXO, the reason why I’m breathin’ all the vanity I know,” also hinted at underlying tension.
- Touring Together (2012)
- Drake invited Kendrick Lamar to open for him on the Club Paradise Tour alongside A$AP Rocky. However, Drake’s later lyrics on “4 PM in Calabasas” suggested that he had other motives: “When they told me take an R&B ni–a on the road, and I told ’em no and drew for Kendrick and Rocky.”
- “Control” Verse (2013)
- Kendrick Lamar’s explosive verse on Big Sean’s “Control” shook the rap world. He called out several peers, including Drake: “I got love for you all, but I’m tryna murder you ni–as.”
- Recent Sparks (2024)
- Kendrick’s feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “We Don’t Trust You” reignited the flames. His lines hit hard: “Yeah, get up with me, f–k sneak dissing. ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches. Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD. Motherf–k the Big Three, n—a, it’s just big me.”
Drake’s Response
- During a recent concert in Sunrise, Florida, Drake addressed the situation: “I got my f–king head up high, my back straight, I’m ten f–king toes down in Florida and anywhere else I go. And I know that no matter what, it’s not a n—a on this earth that could ever f–k with me in my life!”
- While Drizzy hasn’t dropped a diss track yet, the tension also remains palpable. Fans eagerly await his lyrical retaliation.
What’s Next?
- The battle continues, and both artists are sharpening their pens. Will Kendrick fire back? Can Drake match the intensity? Only time will tell.
