Kendrick Lamar accuses Drake of being a ‘paedophile’ amidst ongoing feud |

The ongoing feud between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake is getting ugly.
Lamar, in his latest diss track titled “Not Like Us“, launched scathing accusations against Drake, even branding the superstar a “paedophile“. In the track, which dropped less than 24 hours after Kendrick’s ‘Meet The Grahams‘, the album art depicted Drake’s home adorned with sex offender beacons.
In his lyrics, Kendrick raps, “Why you trollin’ like a b****? Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor,” insinuating Drake’s affinity for younger women. He further accuses Drake of being a “Certified Lover Boy? Certified paedophiles.”
Earlier in the weekend, Kendrick released “Meet The Grahams,” where he warned fellow athletes LeBron James and Steph Curry to keep their families away from Drake, branding him a “pervert.” Additionally, Kendrick alleges Drake has a secret daughter, rapping, “You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh.”

A source close to Drake refuted the secret child allegation, labelling it an “utter fabrication” when approached by TMZ.
Drake responded to Kendrick’s accusations via his Instagram story with a series of laughing emojis, quipping, “nahhhh hold on can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send her to me.”
The cover art for “Meet the Grahams” features pill bottles for Zolpidem (a sleep aid) and Ozempic, prescribed to Aubrey Graham, which happens to be Drake’s legal name.
The origins of the Kendrick vs Drake feud remain a topic of interest. The tension between the two artists dates back several years, with their relationship appearing to sour despite early collaborations and a joint tour.

Billboard notes that subtle disses began to surface as early as 2013 when Kendrick rapped about “murdering” Drake and other rappers. In 2023, Drake’s collaboration with J. Cole on “First Person Shooter” reignited tensions, with Cole hinting at competition among the trio for the title of greatest rapper. Kendrick responded in March 2024 with “Like That,” asserting his dominance in the rap game.
Drake retaliated with multiple diss tracks in April, including “Push Ups” and “Family Matters,” while Kendrick fired back with tracks like “6:16 in LA” and “Euphoria.”
