Drake and Kendrick Lamar are two of the most popular and commended rappers in the music industry, and yet, they are also two of the most controversial ones. Thanks to their long-ongoing feud and rocky relationship that just doesn’t seem to want to repair at any cost, the two have been under the spotlight every now and then through their diss tracks for each other.
However, with his most recent track, the Canadian rapper cum singer seems to have taken a bit too nasty dig at Lamar. This is because, in his recently released Family Matters, the 37 year-old singer seemingly implied that his rival and 36 year-old American rapper cum songwriter’s fiancée Whitney Alford allegedly had an affair with Lamar’s manager and creative partner, Dave Free.
Drake Hints at Wild Claims Against Kendrick Lamar in Family Matters
Although all of their previous diss tracks have earned both of the two superhit rap artists enough controversy, Drake‘s recent track has ostensibly taken it a bit too far against Lamar. This happened in Family Matters, which the 37 year-old singer released a few hours ago as of this writing.
In this song, not only did the In My Feelings singer take a dig at his rival’s wife Whitney Alford, but he seems to have even pulled Lamar’s kids into the matter by allegedly implying that Alford had an affair with Lamar’s manager and the former president of Top Dawg Entertainment, Dave Free.
As the Canadian rapper sang in the initial parts of the track (via Drake | YT):
“On some Bobby shit, I wanna know what Whitney need / All that puppy love was over in your late teens / Why, you never hold your son and tell him, ‘Say cheese’ / We coulda left the kids outta this, don’t blame me”
Needless to say, Drake seems to be talking about Kendrick Lamar‘s younger child Enoch, who was born in 2022. His birth was announced through the cover for Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, which saw Lamar sporting a crown of thorns on his head while holding Uzi.
What’s more, the One Dance singer further added fuel to this by implying Alford’s involvement with Free. He sang:
“Your baby mama captions always screamin’ ‘Save me’ / You did her dirty all her life, you tryna make peace / I heard that one of them little kids might be Dave Free’s”
Now that’s a pretty direct dig that the Canadian Rapper took at his 36 year-old Grammy winning rival. And, as expected, the IDGAF singer has once again stirred tremendous controversy in the music industry through these hinted allegations.
Yet, the one thing making all of this all the more interesting is all the fan reactions to this latest diss track against Lamar, most of which are pretty much screaming that the Like That singer needs to get a DNA test done to prove ChampagnePapi wrong.
Fans React to Drake’s Latest Dig at Kendrick Lamar

Feel like Drake about to drop something insane and it seems like Kendrick still has more to say. If you’re a fan of hip hop you’ll want both these guys to drop some heat. Excited we’re finally getting this matchup after all these years!

Controversies aside, it would be really, really interesting to see just how Lamar responds to this diss track against him and just how many more presumed secrets would be spilled before this long-ongoing feud finally comes to rest.
