Drake Fires Back at Kendrick Lamar with Explosive New Diss Track ‘Family Matters’

Drake wasted no time firing back at Kendrick Lamar with his scathing diss track “Family Matters” released on YouTube just 14 hours after Lamar’s “6:16 in LA.” The track doesn’t hold back as Drake takes aim at Lamar’s alleged relationship troubles with fiancée Whitney Alford, accusing him of infidelity and questioning his parenting. The lyrics are sharp and the delivery is intense, leaving no doubt that Drake is not holding back.

One of the most cutting lines in the track suggests that one of Kendrick’s children could actually be Dave Free’s, adding another layer of personal attack to the already intense diss track. The beat switch midway through the song shifts the focus to other rivals in the music industry, with Drake calling out A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, Future, and Rick Ross.

Drake does express some regret for his issues with Future but places the blame on Metro Boomin, hinting at a romantic history between the producer and a woman who has ties to both of them. The track doesn’t hold back on targeting Rick Ross either, taking a jab at his past as a correction officer.

The accompanying music video for “Family Matters” adds another layer to the feud, with Drake heading to the New Ho King Chinese restaurant that Kendrick referenced in “Euphoria.” The song continues to focus on Kendrick, questioning his move to New York and his choice of lifestyle, while also poking fun at his jewelry purchases from 2Pac’s estate and Pharrell’s collection.

Kendrick fired back with “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” prompting Drake to respond with a seven-minute tirade in “Family Matters.” The feud between the two artists shows no signs of slowing down, setting the stage for what could be an ongoing battle between two of the biggest names in hip-hop.

Despite the intense nature of the diss track, it’s clear that both Drake and Kendrick are at the top of their game, delivering powerful lyrics and aggressive beats that are sure to keep fans talking for weeks to come. The music industry thrives on competition, and this feud between two heavyweights is sure to be one for the history books.
