The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.
Taking things to the next level, Kendrick Lamar officially re-entered the battleground with Euphoria, as his rebuttal to 37-year-old Drake’s latest diss track. In the six-minute diss, Lamar took shots at the Canadian rapper’s biracial identity, career, and even his personal life. Considering the ear-bleeding level of attack, Rick Ross hopped on his Instagram Story and urged the 37-year-old to not respond to the track.
Kendrick Lamar Dissed Drake with Euphoria
The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has been making headlines in the music industry for a long time, with fans waiting to see how things get played out. Initially, the war began after Lamar fired shots at the 37-year-old with his diss Like That, which was followed by responding diss tracks Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle from the Canadian rapper.
Now, as a rebuttal to Drake’s Push Ups, Kendrick Lamar came up with his latest six-minute record Euphoria. Slamming the Canadian singer as “calculated” and a “scam artist,” Lamar even questioned his authenticity as a rapper and accused him of being a “pathetic master manipulator.” Further, the 36-year-old singer took multiple shots at God’s Plan singer’s biracial identity.
Asking “how many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you Black enough?” and wondering whether Drake should say the n-word in his raps, Kendrick Lamar slammed the rapper as a father. Going on a personal level, Lamar referenced the 37-year-old’s infamous beef with Pusha T, wherein he controversially revealed the identity of the Canadian singer’s son, Adonis.

But among all, netizens are most excited to know if the 37-year-old will slap back at Lamar or take a seat back. Addressing fans’ curiosity, DJ Akademiks, who has been the conduit for Drake‘s messages throughout the battle, revealed during his April 30 live stream, that the rapper is already planning his next move.

He may not even heard this sh*t but look White boy, I know we not friends but let me give you this advice because you ain’t got nobody around you. You ain’t got no real n***as around you.

Don’t go write an eight-minute verse that I know n***a [Lil] Yachty, I know you want to get that money you ain’t wrong n***a, keep buying them big houses but I’mma tell you this like a real n***a. Ain’t no mo BBLs. Ain’t no mo a*s fillers. Ain’t no mo cheek fillers.”
