In his latest track Lamar retorted to two diss songs released by Drake in April, one in which he mocks the Pulitzer-winning rapper for collaborating with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5, and the other where he calls him a coward.
Drake has responded to Kendrick Lamar’s latest diss song with a clip from the 1990s romcom 10 Things I Hate About You as the rift between the two star rappers scales new heights.
For years both Drake, the world’s most-streamed hip-hop artist in the world, and Lamar, whose fourth album, Damn, won a Pulitzer prize, have been exchanging thinly veiled remarks.
But lately their exchanges have become less subtle and more personal as they have increasingly used diss tracks to escalate their antipathy towards each other.
Euphoria, Lamar’s latest song, a six-minute track released on Tuesday, alludes to Drake’s executive producing role in the HBO series of the same name starring Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney.
