between Drake and Lamar was dead in the water once and for all.
However, in August, Drake threw fuel to the fire with his verse on the new Trippie Redd track ‘Betrayal’. On the song, Drake rapped “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know / Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go / Ye ain’t changin’ shit for me, it’s set in stone.” Most people have guessed that “Ye” in this context refers to Kanye West, but some fans of Lamar have suggested that this could actually be a subliminal shot at him.
The following week, Lamar responded with his verse on Baby Keem’s new song ‘Family Ties’. Lamar spits “I’ll put an M right on your head, you Luigi brother now / My n**** Drizzy packed a soldier / They see he still got the waiter / I plot and then pour up a Jamba Juice / I’m on my way, oh, bitch, don’t trip / I’m making hits / Paid for my flows and they locked me in / Everythin’ publicity stunts, y’all be runnin’ amok”. There has been no official confirmation from either camp as to whether this verse is about Drake specifically – but fans are certainly taking it as a reference to the long-standing beef.
In summary, the beef between Drake and Lamar is one of the most infamous in modern music. Their friendship turned sour after Lamar called Drake out on Control in 2013, and both have been sending “sneak disses” at each other ever since. The recent releases from both artists – Betrayal and Family Ties – suggest that the feud has not died down and is as captivating as ever.
