The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has been one of the most widely-reaching rap beefs in recent years. It all started when Lamar mentioned Drake in a guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit “Like That.” This ignited a heated battle that has captured the attention of hip hop fans across the globe.
J. Cole even joined in on the action, recording a diss track about Lamar, only to apologize and retract it later. This move was unprecedented in hip hop and added even more drama to the situation.
Recently, Drake’s “Push Ups” leaked, causing confusion about its authenticity. Rick Ross quickly responded with a brutal Drake diss track called “Champagne Moments,” claiming he recorded it the same day. It is expected that Lamar will also respond with his own track soon.
