In the latest development of their ongoing feud, Kendrick Lamar and Drake have escalated their rivalry by releasing new diss tracks targeting each other’s personal lives.
The feud, which has simmered with veiled insults for years, has now taken a more confrontational turn with Lamar and Drake openly expressing their disdain for one another.
Lamar fired the first shot earlier this week with his track, Euphoria, in which he labelled Drake a “scam artist.”
Drake also released Family Matters on Friday, taking aim at Lamar’s parenting skills and suggesting that one of Lamar’s children may not be his own.
Drake’s lyrics include lines such as: “The the black messiah wifed up to a mixed queen, and hit vanilla cream to help out with ya self esteem, on some Bobby sh*t I wanna know what Whitney need.”

Kendrick Lamar’s reply came swiftly with his track, Meet the Grahams, where he launched into four verses taking shots at Drake’s son Adonis, his mother Sandra, and his father Dennis.
Perhaps, the most startling accusation is Lamar’s claim that Drake is hiding a daughter who is about 11 years old.
The feud, which has been previously characterised by subtle jabs, has now become increasingly overt and personal, signalling a significant escalation in tensions between the two rappers.
Recall that Drake earlier released tracks such as Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle, which mocked Lamar’s collaborations and criticised him for not responding to Drake’s provocations.
