What’s The Kendrick Lamar And Drake Feud About?
The Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud is more than just a clash of egos. It’s a battle for hip-hop supremacy, with each artist vying for the title of ‘king.’ However, their beef also went on a dark path with the two throwing nasty accusations at each other.
The roots of the feud can be traced back to 2011 when Kendrick appeared on Drake‘s song ‘Buried Alive Interlude.’ This early collaboration hinted at a mutual respect between the two. However, things began to shift in 2013 with Kendrick’s explosive verse on Big Sean’s track ‘Control‘. Drake never explicitly responded to it, but the seeds of discord were sown.
Over the next few years, the tension simmered. Kendrick continued to drop subtle hints in his lyrics, while Drake maintained a public facade of indifference until recently, when the feud took an uglier turn and Drake fired his shots too, dividing the rap fans.
Whether Cabello’s comments will have any impact on the feud remains to be seen.
