• The feud between the two artists originated with Drake's track "First Person Shooter," which sparked Lamar's response in "Like That."

Amid an escalating feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Drake vehemently denies allegations raised in Lamar's diss track, including claims of relationships with underage women and fathering a secret child.

The dispute between the two artists, characterized by a barrage of confrontational songs released over the weekend, intensifies.

Drake, in his latest track "The Heart Part 6," expresses disgust at Lamar's accusations and insinuates that he purposely misled Lamar with false information.

Lamar's allegations, featured in his track "Not Like Us," insinuate Drake's involvement with underage individuals and fathering a secret daughter, which Drake dismisses as deliberately fabricated.

In response, Drake rebuffs the allegations of inappropriate relationships and secret paternity, emphasizing his reputation and lack of criminal record.

He asserts, "Drake is not a name that you gonn' see on no sex offender list," vehemently denying any involvement with underage individuals. He also refutes Lamar's claim of a secret daughter, stating, "I never been with no-one underage ... Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I'm too respected."

The feud between the two artists originated with Drake's track "First Person Shooter," which sparked Lamar's response in "Like That."

This exchange of diss tracks escalated with Drake's "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle," the latter featuring taunts from AI versions of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg directed at Lamar. However, the latter track was removed following a legal threat from Tupac's estate.

Lamar then launched a series of diss tracks, including "Euphoria," referencing Drake's prior feud with Pusha T, who revealed Drake's secret son.

These songs have garnered significant attention, with "Euphoria" currently ranking as the third most-streamed track on Spotify. Meanwhile, Drake's diss tracks, "Family Matters" and "Push Ups," maintain lower positions in the streaming rankings.
