They are both at the top. They have been in conflict for many years, but mutual accusations are now becoming more intense
Drake and Kendrick Lamar are one of the most popular rappers globally. Although they recorded two songs together over a decade ago, they have been in dispute for many years. Recently, their conflict has definitely intensified. Only since the beginning of May, they have released a total of five songs in which they accuse each other.
In Lamar’s last song titled The “Not Like Us” rapper accused Drake of having sexual contact with a minor and hiding the fact of his daughter’s existence from the world. The Canadian responded to him in a song released on Sunday entitled “The Heart Part 6”, whose title refers to another Lamar song. In it, Drake pleads not guilty and claims that Lamar’s accusations are based on his own trauma from abuse.
