Since Kendrick Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” in March, the Compton and Canadian rappers have traded dozens of dark verses (and counting) in a beef unlike any before it. Their war of words hit a crescendo on the weekend of May 3, but tensions have been simmering for years. Here we’ll break down every major development in their battle since late March.

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.

Kendrick Lamar has been busy putting up an attack plan against Drake, and he just dropped another diss track titled Not Like Us. However, Lamar’s earlier track Meet the Grahams addressed each member of Drake’s family. The Poetic Justice singer struck a chord when he addressed a “baby girl,” suggesting that Drizzy has a secret daughter that he had been hiding from the public. Now, Drake reportedly swears on his career that Lamar’s allegations are false.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake traded diss tracks Friday night in the latest salvos in the rapper’s weeks-long lyrical feud.
Following a week that saw Lamar drop both the scathing “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” Drake finally responded Friday with “Family Matters,” which alleges infidelity in Lamar’s relationship. On the seven-minute track, Drake also hits back at some of the other rappers — Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, Future, A$AP Rocky, the Weeknd and more — that have provoked him lately:

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s decade-long feud continued to gain steam this week after the former released the newest diss titled “6:16 In LA,” which also sampled Al Green’s 1972 classic, “What a Wonderful Thing Love Is.” While sampling other artists’ music doesn’t raise eyebrows, Lamar using Green’s 1972 classic in his track has led fans to unearth the soul singer’s connection to Drake’s family.
The one-time collaborators Drake and Kendrick Lamar began to butt heads in 2013 after Lamar rapped on Big Sean’s track “Control” and called out multiple artists, including Drake by name.
While Drake didn’t officially respond to Lamar’s track, his 2013 song “The Language” was rumored to be targeted at the rapper. However, Drake’s camp denied the claim and even praised...

Kendrick Lamar has dropped a new Drake diss track, “6:16 in LA,” just days after heating up their feud with “euphoria.” Stream it below.
The title of “6:16 in LA” likely refers to Father’s Day, which falls on June 16th this year, digging back into one of Drake’s sore spots of being exposed as an allegedly absentee father. At the same time, Kendrick describes being a father to his own kids with the lyrics, “Put my children to sleep, with a prayer, then close my eyes, definition of peace.”
Adding another layer, Variety has confirmed Taylor Swift’s frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff co-produced the diss track, winking at Drake’s name-drop of the pop star on previous diss track “Push Ups.”
On the track, Kendrick preys further on Drake’s insecurities, claiming his team isn’t loyal. “Have you ever thought that Ovo was workin’ for me?” Kendrick raps.

Kendrick Lamar’s Euphoria took the feud between Lamar and Drake to the next level. The six-minute diss track launches an attack on Drake’s music career, personal life, and biracial identity. It was in response to the American rapper’s earlier released song Push Ups, in which the One Dance singer mocks Lamar’s physical appearance and the quality of his songs. Interestingly, years before the current feud, Lamar and Drake had a friendly working relationship.

I’ve spent the past month theorizing that the root of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s dysfunction is how philosophically different they seem to be. Their actions speak loudly for two sects of hip-hop in antithetical opposition. While Drake’s three weeks of post-“Push Ups” digital mischief entertained his fanbase and, for some, upped the pressure on Kendrick, the West Coast rhymer’s fans put on an unbothered front, surmising that Drake was anxiously awaiting a potent clapback. True enough, Kendrick opened his diss track “Euphoria” by echoing his...

On the night of April 13, after the apparent leak of his diss track “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty),” Drake posted a screenshot from the movie Kill Bill on his Instagram Story. It was the film’s iconic fight scene, during which Uma Thurman’s character takes on a room full of ninja assassins only to emerge victorious. The metaphor couldn’t be more applicable to Drake’s current situation, as he fends off what many are describing as “Rap’s Avengers,” out for blood since the release of Future...

Good morning, haters — or, really, good morning to everyone who isn’t Drake. Kendrick Lamar called an impromptu emergency meeting of the anti-Drake club on Tuesday when he dropped “Euphoria,” his six-minute-long, highly-anticipated response to weeks of antagonization from the Canadian rapper.
Last week, Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle,” his second response to a couple of shots that Kendrick took at him on the Metro Boomin and Future track “Like That.” The song has since been removed due to legal threats from the Tupac estate, but it did feature the line: “Since “Like That,...

Kendrick Lamar has hit back at Drake with “euphoria,” his response to the latter rapper’s recent diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Stream it below.
Broken up into three parts, “euphoria” begins with a laidback beat in which a relaxed Kendrick calls out Drake for being fake and “a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
“The famous actor we once knew is lookin’ paranoid, now it’s spiraling,” Kendrick scoffs, before accusing Drake of being a liar on multiple levels. “Fabricate stories on the family front, ’cause you heard Mr. Morale/ A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now/ You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
Pointedly, he continues, “Know you a master manipulator, and a bitch, you a liar too/ But don’t tell no lie ’bout me, and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.

Oh, and a conveniently placed poster promoting the 3rd Annual Rick Ross Car Show. (It’s on June 1 in Fayetteville, Ga by the way.)

Drake, forever thirsty for attention, is continuing to bait Kendrick Lamar. After releasing “Push Ups” on DSPs on Friday, the Toronto rapper has dropped a second diss track. This one, titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” includes AI verses made to sound like Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior/ Engraving your name in some hip-hop history,” AI Tupac raps. “If you deal with this viciously/ You seem a little nervous about all the publicity/ Fuck this Canadian lightskin.”
“I know you never been to jail, or wore jumpsuits and shower shoes/Never shot nobody, never stabbed nobody/Never did nothing violent to no one, it’s the homies that empower you,” adds AI Snoop. “But, still, you gotta show this fucking owl who’s boss on the West/Now’s a time to really make a power move.”

For years now, Future has been skilled at playing rap’s favorite romantic anti-hero: the man, or character, baptizing himself in purple drinks to forget about bliss that has slipped away. Some of his best songs, like “Throw Away” or “My Collection,” can be both spiteful and vulnerable, like a dog dying of a virus that it can’t understand. It’s why certain men pore over his albums like they’re David Foster Wallace novels. At any given moment, a lyric or a snark will seem to effortlessly crystalize...

Titled “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50),” the track first leaked online over the weekend.

Cole‘s surprise release “Might Delete Later” launched at number-two with 115,000 album units, followed by K-pop band Tomorrow X Together‘s “Minisode 3: Tomorrow” at number-three with 107,500 units. Those albums knocked Future and Metro Boomin‘s collaborative effort “We Don’t...

Drake amusingly responded to Rick Ross’ diss track claims that he got a nose job and warned of more musical retribution against the rapper in a social media post Sunday.
Ross unleashed his own Drizzy diss track “Champagne Moments” soon after Drake’s (purportedly real) “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50)” leaked on Saturday. While the bulk of that track was aimed at Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin, Drake also targeted Ross on some bars for intruding on the beef. “Can’t believe he jumpin’ in,” Drake said of Ross,...

Drake dropped his diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar and a bunch of others on social media on Saturday. The American rapper later unofficially confirmed the track’s legitimacy and announced its title as Push Ups. The track fires several shots at Lamar, mocking his physical appearance and the quality of his songs. Interestingly, Lamar appears to have a response diss track ready for Drake and he has been holding onto it for four long years.

The back-and-forth diss track drama kicked off when Lamar responded to J. Cole’s First Person Shooter, in which he referred to himself, Lamar, and Drake as the “big three.” Lamar dissed both Cole and Drake in an uncredited verse in Metro Boomin and Future’s Like That.

Drake’s response track to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake and J. Cole-dragging verse in Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” from their album We Don’t Trust You, has arrived. The song, titled “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50),” was first leaked in a few different iterations earlier in the day on Saturday, April 13. The leak initially sparked fans to debate on whether it may have been AI-generated before it was somewhat confirmed as authentic later that day. On Friday, April 19 an official version of the song was released on all streaming platforms.

After weeks of controversy and speculation about bad blood, Future and Metro Boomin have unveiled the second installment of their joint album series, We Still Don’t Trust You, which features none other than J. Cole. Cole appears on a seven-minute track titled “Red Leather,” rapping what some fans have interpreted as a dig at Drake.
“My story’s more clever, my similes was better/My energy was never on some toughest nigga shit,” Cole raps on the song. “I was just a conscious rapper that would fuck a nigga...

As J. Cole put a bow on this year’s Dreamville Festival, he worked an apology heard-’round-hip-hop into the introduction to one of his biggest and most sentimental songs, “Love Yourz.” “The past two days have felt terrible,” he said, earnestly admitting he’s lost sleep over “7 Minute Drill,” his nuanced but ill-received jab back at Kendrick Lamar for dissing him and Drake (mostly Drake) on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.”

J. Cole can rest peacefully tonight knowing the regret of having dissed Kendrick Lamar is no longer sitting on his chest. During his headlining performance at his own Dreamville festival this weekend, the rapper led the crowd in a reflective meditation on “7 Minute Drill,” the diss track he released in response to Lamar’s featured verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” admitting: “That’s the lamest shit I ever did in my fucking life.”

J. Cole has issued a public apology to Kendrick Lamar for the diss track he included on his newly released project, Might Delete Later.
On the closing track, “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole claimed Lamar had fallen off “like The Simpsons” and mocked his recent musical output. Cole rapped about Lamar, “Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic/ Your second shit put n***as to sleep but they gassed it/ Your third shit was a massive hit, that was your prime/ I was trailing right behind but I just now hit mine/ Now I’m front of the line with a comfortable lead/ How ironic, soon as I got it now he want something with me.”
Less than 48 hours after releasing the project, however, Cole was already expressing regret. Speaking during his set at the Dreamvillle Music Festival on Sunday night, Cole said, “I am so proud of that project,...

Metro Boomin warned us before he and Future dropped We Don’t Trust You: “Pick a side.”
As J. Cole has learned over the past 12 hours, anyone not firmly on one side of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar divide is liable to get caught in the crossfire. Last night, he dropped Might Delete Later, a surprise EP of tracks that might have been lauded as another solid offering from the rap vet — or maybe the conversation would be about his troubling (and trite) transphobic bars on “Pi.” But instead, the...

Drake has quite literally put Travis Scott in his sights for siding with Kendrick Lamar, Future, and Metro Boomin in an ongoing feud. During a recent concert, Drake mimicked shooting his frequent collaborator while performing their hit “Meltdown.”
In a fan-shot video, Drake can be seen screaming lyrics from the Utopia cut before pausing to fake gunshots at a giant Travis Scott head. Watch the footage below.

For context, Travis encouraged Future and Metro Boomin to debut their Drake diss, “Like That,” at Rolling Loud California days ahead of its release, making it apparent that he stood against Drake.
On the track, Kendrick Lamar hits out at Drake and J. Cole, asserting his dominance among the so-called Big Three rappers of their generation. Specifically, Kendrick calls out Drake for his frequent Michael Jackson comparisons and buries him with lyrics referencing the latter’s album For All the Dogs.

j-hope of BTS has released a six-track special album titled Hope On The Street Vol. 1. Stream it below.
The follow-up to full-length solo album Jack in the Box shows the BTS dance leader return a bright, optimistic, and ’90s-infused sound closer to the energy in his first solo mixtape, Hope World. The project accompanies a new docuseries of the same name, in which each episode corresponds to the title of one of the tracks in the EP. The first two episodes are currently available to stream on Prime Video.
The album opens with “on the street (solo version),” a reimagining of his 2023 collaboration with rapper J. Cole. The second track, “i wonder…” features his BTS bandmate, Jung Kook, and allows both members to flex their melodic muscles. Next is a bouncy, groovy offering, “lock / unlock,” with benny blanco and an excellent guitar solo from Nile Rodgers.

If Drake and Kendrick finally have a rap battle for the ages, it won’t be solely because of Kendrick’s recent verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” It (probably) won’t be over industry politics that we’re not privy to, pillow talking, or whatever other trivial issues have caused prior rap feuds. I’m not the biggest fan of rap beef because, as Snoop Dogg told Latto, it’s often a product of ego intensified by corporate forces looking to maintain division. But Drake and...

In November, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a federal lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York federal court. Her lawsuit includes graphic claims of sexual assault, physical abuse, and an allegation that Combs, her ex-boyfriend, would force her to have sex with male sex workers while he watched. Ventura’s claims are among the worst, but not the first controversy that the music mogul and entrepreneur has been alleged to be involved in.

Last night, Drake responded to Kendrick Lamar and the rest of rap’s anti-Drizzy cohort — sort of. During a stop on his Big As The What tour in Sunrise, Florida, Drake took a moment to get defiant amid the hysteria about Kendrick’s fiery verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” where the Compton rhymer took aim at Drake and J.

As of this writing, it has been over two days since Future and Metro Boomin dropped their first full-length collaboration, We Don’t Trust You, and it has almost been completely overshadowed by a Kendrick Lamar cameo. The track on which he appears, “Like That,” prominently features Rodney O and Joe Cooley’s 1987 single “Everlasting Bass,” and Metro uses it like Three 6 Mafia did throughout their discography, from “Where Da Bud At” to “Who the Crunkest.” Thanks in part to the Mafia, “Everlasting Bass” has become an avatar of Jheri-curled hardness,...

Few rivalries in rap music are as intense as Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s. Along with sharing appearances on each other’s albums, the two have also shown respect for one another in interviews. However, the very things that have united them have also caused them to drift apart.
A controversy erupted when Drake made a derogatory remark about Lamar and his song, Control, back in 2013. The song was eventually pulled from the album due to sample clearance issues, and many rappers responded to it right away—just not the one Lamar seemed to want to hear from most.
Drake asked, “Kendrick is giving people moments, but are you listening to it now?” in reference to the now-famous verse of Big Sean’s song Control.
