Kendrick Lamar dropped a scathing diss track aimed at Drake, escalating their ongoing feud to new heights.
The 36-year-old rapper unleashed “Euphoria” on Tuesday, delivering blistering lyrics targeting Drake, who Lamar has previously asserted isn’t on the same level as him in the rap game.
In the track, Lamar doesn’t hold back, referring to Drake as a “scam artist” and a “habitual liar.” He takes jabs at Drake’s career trajectory, mentioning his past as an actor on “Degrassi: The Next Generation” and questioning his authenticity as a rapper.
Lamar also delves into Drake’s biracial identity, alluding to past controversies surrounding Drake’s portrayal of blackness. He touches on Drake’s relationship with his son, Adonis, suggesting that Drake lacks understanding of fatherhood.
The feud between Lamar and Drake dates back over a decade, with tensions flaring periodically through diss tracks and public statements. The release of “Euphoria” reignites the rivalry, with Lamar taking aim at Drake’s perceived shortcomings in both his music and personal life.
Despite the intense lyrical warfare, Lamar’s track also draws attention to broader issues within the rap industry, including authenticity and the portrayal of black identity.
“Euphoria” is now available for streaming on YouTube, sparking intense debate and speculation among fans of both artists.
