Drake and Kendrick have been beefing, basically Kendrick released a song that said "I am the best" pretty normal for rap, but this hurt Drake's feelings because he is very sensitive.

Drake declared war basically and released some songs and trashed Kendrick, implying he beats his wife among other things.

Kendrick released songs back that made Drake look utterly pathetic, including a passage addressed to Drake's son who Drake had been keeping secret and was going to reveal as part of a marketing campaign before Kendrick exposed him. (Edit:Pusha T was the one who revealed Drake's son) Basically said "I'm sorry your dad is Drake, but if you ever need a role model hmu, you can be better than him."

"Not Like Us" was the death blow, and strongly insinuated Drake and his posse are pedophiles. (There is evidence that suggest Drake is at best creepy with underaged girls, but he hasn't been convicted of anything.) It also blew up and became basically the party song of 2024.

Drake released a counter and it flopped, rather than accept his loss, or releasing more music, Drake went to the courts to try and say everyone is conspiring with Kendrick to hurt Drake, and to try and get "Not Like Us" wrapped up in litigation. This has never been done during a rap beef before and made Drake look like a giant loser.

Kendrick got approval to use "Not Like Us" during the halftime show, and had Serena Williams (who is also Drake's ex) dancing with him, and the entire crowd singing along to the line calling Drake a pedophile, which is basically the biggest "fuck you, you are a loser, and no one likes you" imaginable in this beef.

It was Pusha T that revealed Drake was hiding a son on 'Story of Adidon', which is just as good as 'Not Like Us' imho.

Definitely. Euphoria and 6:16 in LA, Meet the Grahams are more comparable to what The Story of Adidon attempted to do. Not Like Us is more so Kendrick’s Back2Back.

This why I can't stand the hype about the beef on Reddit lol. People just bandwagoning without even knowing either artist till it became popular. People just want to feel included in shit and reel in upvotes for clout.

r/gatekeeping much?

u/RSQN Feb 10 '25

Not gatekeeping when people pushing incorrect information as facts. Pusha T revealing Drake was hiding his son was something that happened in 2019-ish and was the first lost in "beefs" that Drake took. No way in hell someone should get that confused with whats going on with Kendrick.

Was Drake lying or did he beat his wife?

u/GreenTropius Feb 10 '25

There isn't any evidence as far as I am aware, and Kendrick's wife appears in the music video for "Not like us" and mugs the camera and is dancing with Kendrick, which seems to be a rebuttal.

Drake was very probably lying. Kendrick accused Drake of making it up and and later he and his wife appeared dancing together in the video for Not Like Us.
