DJ Akademiks has claimed that both Drake and Kendrick Lamar lied during their infamous rap battle. While he did not know where the lie about Drake’s secret daughter came from, he argued that both rappers put their fair share of lies on their respective diss tracks. The two ignited their feud back in March when Lamar called out the Canadian on ‘Like That’, a song from Metro Boomin and Future’s debut joint record ‘We Don’t Trust You’. Drake responded with ‘Push Ups’ two weeks later, engaging in a rap battle with the Compton native. They sent shots back and forth on various diss tracks.
In the chilling ‘Meet The Grahams,’ Lamar alleged that Drake has a secret daughter. The latter rebutted on ‘The Heart, Part 6’, claiming that he fed Lamar lies to use in his diss tracks aimed at him, rapping: “We plotted for a week and we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it.” During a Rumble livestream, Akademiks accused both artists of putting their own lies on their respective diss tracks. Akademiks also said he believed Drake “knew” about the stolen items in the photo used by K Dot for the artwork for ‘Meet the Grahams.’
Coolee Bravo, an Atlanta rapper, recently stated in an interview that he received $150,000 from Drake to share damaging information about Lamar. However, he then confessed that he gave false details about Lamar and Alford living in different states to Drake, which the latter used on ‘Family Matters.’ “‘Family Matters’ came out and we laughed,” he said. “We [were] like, ‘That n****s stupid.’ So, while Drake was talking about bait, he didn’t even get nothing. That’s why Kendrick said he came back with no receipts on ‘6:16 in LA’. Drake is stupid – I should have asked for $200,000.”
In other news, Drake’s mansion in Toronto (known as The Embassy) has been at the center of controversy recently. First, one of Drake’s bodyguards was shot in a drive-by outside the residence. Days later, multiple men were detained by police for trespassing on the property. It isn’t clear whether or not either incident has any relation to the ongoing feud. Meanwhile, ‘Not Like Us’ by Kendrick Lamar has topped the Billboard Hot 100. This happened just weeks after it broke the record for being the most-streamed rap song in one day on Spotify
