- Drake and Kendrick Lamar have recently been in a back-and-forth beef.
- A leaked Drake track, possibly AI-generated, was released over the weekend.
- Rick Ross responded to the track with a diss of his own directed at Drake.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” has generated quite a stir in the world of hip-hop. In his collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin for the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song, the rapper launched an attack on J. Cole and Drake.
According to BetOnline, Drake is expected to respond with a diss directed at Lamar. Currently, Lamar has -1000 odds of being dissed in Drake’s next song.
That equals an implied probability of 90.9% of Drake, 37, responding with a Lamar diss. Following Lamar’s odds, Future (+100), J. Cole (+200), and Rick Ross (+200) are the next likeliest names that will be mentioned on Drake’s diss track.
It almost feels like a foregone conclusion that Drake will respond with a shot at Lamar. If he does, the odds favor suggest there will be another quick counter-diss tape. At -200, Lamar has a 66.7% chance of firing back at Drake.
Although Lamar has had the latest word, the first shot was believed to be thrown by Drake and J. Cole in October.
“First Person Shooter” Takes Aim At Lamar
Drake has not publicly revealed if “First Person Shooter” had subtle jabs levied toward Lamar. However, it sure sounds like Drake was criticizing Lamar’s 2022 album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
Hate how the game got away from the bars, man, this sh*t like a prison escape. Everybody steppers? Well, f*ck it, then everybody breakfast and I’m ‘bout to clear up my plate.
Lamar’s album received mixed reviews, with many critics and fans less than impressed. Drake’s verse is perceived as him making light of Lamar’s album, which fell flat.
This isn’t the first time that Lamar and Drake have beefed, so it was not that random. Lamar’s response to “First Person Shooter” came with his verse in “Like That”.
What? I’m really like that/And your best work is a light pack/N****, Prince outlived Mike Jack’/N****, bum, Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.
In translation, Lamar was taking shots at Drake’s album “For All the Dogs”.
Drake Leaked Track Appears Online
Drake’s “Push Ups” (Drop and Give Me 50) was allegedly leaked on Saturday, April 13. However, this is where it gets weird: the song may not be by Drake at all.
Although nothing has been confirmed by Drake, “Push Ups” has been rumored to be an AI-generated song. “Drizzy” makes fun of Lamar for his collaborations with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5, among other remarks, including references to The Weeknd.
Maroon 5 need a verse you better make it witty/You only need a verse for the Swifties/Top say drop and give ‘em 50.
The beef between Lamar and Drake gets weird when rumors of the song being AI-generated surfaced. Drake, who has been the subject of several AI-generated songs in the past, could have another one on his hands.
Drake fans were left in disbelief that a song of this magnitude would be leaked, hence it possibly being AI-generated. Did someone in the star’s circle leak the song? Was it “leaked” intentionally by Drake? Or, is “Push Ups” AI-generated?
With odds still on the board at BetOnline, nothing has been confirmed or disproved by Drake or his team. If they do officially release “Push Ups” as his own, then the -1000 bet will win.
In response to the beef, rapper Rick Ross entered the conversation by claiming Drake had plastic surgery for a nose job. Ross released “Champagne Moments” in a diss track directed at Canadian rapper.
You ain’t never want to be a n**** anyway, n**** / That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, n****.
Drake quickly refuted Ross’ diss.
