Drake Vs Kendrick Lamar rap beef explained

For those unaware, here is what happened. Rap culture witnessed a power change in late 2023. Drake, a Canadian celebrity, collaborated with American rapper J. Cole on the song "First Person Shooter," which subtly established them as the current rap powerhouse along with the indisputable Kendrick Lamar (also known as Dot). Dot, though, was not buying it. He responded with an unexpected jab on a Future and Metro Boomin collaboration titled "Like That. He let loose on J. Cole in this song, and he even subtly made references to his own and Drake's past words, adding to the already boiling heat in the rap scene.

After months of simmering tension, Drake finally fired back in the rap beef on April 13th. DJ Akademiks dropped a track titled "Push Ups" which is believed to be Drake's response. In the song, Drake takes low blows at Kendrick's physical stature, mentions his wife in a way some Kendrick fans jumped in defence and argues that other rappers currently hold more sway in the music industry.
