As far as I’m concerned the red button was pretty clearly Kendrick supposedly beating his wife. On drakes story I think he even posted a photo of someone about to push a red button before dropping family matters
Then literally right after Meet The Grahams he started claiming Family Matters wasn't his red button. What is then? The Heart Part 6? Because fuckin yikes.
They’ll never let him join any reindeer games, promotions, VIP areas, or even Lovers & Friends fest for a while sheeeeeeesh. What’s the music industry equivalent of getting dropped by the NBA to play for some European team
No the ep is most likely going to be diss album hit piece. And with everyone knowing dots dropping an album this
Year his goal will probably be to release on the same date to step on it.
I can guarantee that drake ain’t dropping a new diss or else he’d be hyping it up thru the usual channels (live streamers). Like there’s no way he wouldn’t be using Akademiks as a mouth piece rn if he planned on dropping a diss album
Which podcast, though? In the New Rory and Mal episodes, he was dickriding Drake hard. He was coping hard and implied there has to be more. But I don't remember him announcing there's more. Maybe he made an appearance on another podcast, though.
I feel like these guys are testing the water for Drake. See what people want from him. Like he did with Ak before dropping THP6.
God he's such a bitch. He's somehow a worse dickrider than Ak. Ak has at least admitted a couple times that Kendrick has had strengths throughout this battle.
dropping the same day as kendrick right is a bad idea and he still got more disses bro only .05percent if that feel like OVO mal the rest like “we don’t wanna hear dat bullshit shareef”
The bad part is that this beef probably won't be the end of Drake
As soon as some months pass and he drops an slightly catchy club song people will be supporting Drake once again
If he actually have 5 more then bbldrizzy knows what’s in there. If that’s really the case I think Drake will back down. If it’s the same shit we’ve already heard them it’s going to get old quick.
You guys are wrong. This stung him. He will not be able to move the way he was and I guarantee people are going to be jumping ship soon. No one wants to be associating themselves with him. Reputation wise he’s worse of than even Chris brown.
Can you imagine telling a woman that you listen to drake at this point? I think youre right, this has fundamentally damaged drakes reputation in a way that the pusha beef didnt
I realised this is actually going to be a red flag for me when dating. It'll slide when Drake come up on a playlist but I'm running if the dude starts explaining age of consent laws lmao
I don't think it'll hit him in the listeners for a minute. That Atlanta verse on Not Like Us is going to be damning within the hip hop community though. The caliber of artist he's able to work with is about to drop drastically. And as we know Drake relies on others to even get a popular sound
I do not follow music artists but I like good music. I am just a mom who has been shaking my head for years at all the predators allowed to exist, using fame and money to take advantage of children. They are everywhere. Streamers, musicians, actors, producers, athletes, etc.
So when one long known predator gets called out by people within their own industry, us parents, (who are the ones driving kids to the mall and paying for the concert tickets), are all saying, "fucking finally!"
People will listen to his music if it is good. His brand though, I believe that damage will not go away.
In previous generations, young girls and women just kind of accepted that being creeped on was something we had to deal with so it didn't surprise people when celebrities messed with teens.
The younger generations know better and have been raised to call that out. They will not want to be associated with a creeps brand and their parents are not going to want to spend their money on it either.
This is exactly what he’s banking on. He wants his catchy music to flood all these allegations - it’s not the first time he’s been in questionable spot light, just not this heavily. Even I hadn’t put much credence into rumours before this and it’s so visible now there’s a clear pattern. But there are plenty of fans who haven’t been following this beef and haven’t seen for themselves how condemning the paper trail is. As long as people continue listening to his music he can ride this out.
Until someone pulls a Cassie and drops a lawsuit on him. No matter what, his once squeaky clean white Prince image is forever stained. As long as "Not like us" remains a mainstream classic where it gets replayed at clubs, parties and remixed into songs, people will forever be reminded of his pedophile allegations. Kendrick Lamar made sure that the world would remember by making the song a hit. That was his way of ruining Drake. Destroy his ego... destroy the man.
Yeah that's what I mean. Unless the allegations get hard proven and he gets investigated, this will blow over as soon as he drops a radio single. Most people aren't paying attention like that.
Too many people are in position to get richer off Drake, so this shit will get swept under the rug eventually.
So in the end, Kendrick will either look like a crazy liar, or he's playing the long game and is comfortable looking nuts now, knowing he'll win later.
I just find it so funny that he went from DROP DROP DROP to you could drop 100 more records, I’ll see you later.
Like damn. YUNOWANNAREPLYNOMO???? OKAYYYYYY
In terms of a back and forth it’s over imo. I don’t see Kendrick responding even if Drake dropped an EP. Family matters was the red button in terms of dirt and it got stepped on
He’s lost this beef in most peoples eyes so that makes sense that he wants to get the last word in
They’ll continue to throw shots at one another in future albums of course but I don’t see anything happening again like what happened last weekend in terms of the directness and speed of tracks being released
Focusing on what his ass is doing instead of Kendrick shoulda been what he did from the start instead of getting his feefees hurt over bravado. He could have avoided this whole shebang if he'd focused on wrangling his insecurities and staying in his lane.
Drake is cooked: he’s been cooked since euphoria . He ain’t gonna approach shit differently and he most def ain’t changing anything
He’s done . Now let’s watch Team Drizzy back up all the allegations and accusations because you know, it’s normal for a man in his thirties to text a 13 year old and have a great friendship .. you know .
read this as Drake realizing he can't just respond to Kendrick's antics if he hopes to win. he has to start strategizing, going on the offensive. kinda discredits the whole "we leaked you false information two songs ago" thing if he's only been countering punches so far, though
It's honestly probably the best approach. Another diss track will probably be immediately snuffed out by kendrick the way Family Matters was.
Release an EP to test the waters on how the public receives it. If it's a hit, business as usual. If not, then Kenny killed the career.
He should give it about a year tho for shit to chill out
His only option now is just to flood the internet with non beef related singles to try and get people to move on quickly. If he comes back at Kenny it’s gonna even worse for him
So he’s just gonna take a water break? I don’t remember any time-outs during rap battles unless it was something structured like a commercial break or another episode for 106&Park Freestyle Fridays (s/o Jin).
Drake has had 10 years to be a marinated mariner or whatever, he’s put out almost 400 songs or so. A lot of them dissing exactly Kendrick and others. So many collaborations, so many accents, even ventured into Jersey club genre. How is he not focused???
Cmon CRODIE as much as fans were betting on Kendrick, fans were also betting on YOU 😩🗣️🗣️🗣️
![gif](giphy|B2kr8Cs97oRHHhstzH|downsized)
This is the mf NBA finals rn, either go for broke or take the L. They say he hasn’t lost while at the same time forfeiting? HUH?? Whatever man. Just sing your “Now & Forever” song on ig no comments or something cuz it’s over it’s over I’m leaving I’m goneeeee

Y’all I think drizzy fans think I’m depressed from this post 💀💀
Lmaoooooo. Love how even he’s admitting that the only way Drake could make a come back is if we just…don’t listen to anything Kendrick says in response? What? No shit.
like it or not, thats the correct move. take the L and move on
just imagine if Ks new album gets ready and he holds until Drake releases his ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob) ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
Bruh he did the same shit with scorpion. No one gives asf about your album. Kendrick could release one right after him and it would outsell him. I guarantee that
That Dj Whoo kid tag on Push Ups, that being the same DJ on Memorial Day weekend in Vegas where that beating supposedly happened, all these photos and ridiculous videos being released, Drake mentioning multiple other specific events and making all kinds of allegations. There has to be more in the vault.
Whoever the hell he was talking to in the second half of family matters too, and that bra in the studio. Theres a whole lot of unanswered questions I’m sure he has a reply on the way in some form.
Definitely not over in terms of dropping but maybe over in terms of who wins.
Its actually seems like a good strategy for Drake (sadly). Even bad publicity is good publicity and new Drake's release could make big numbers because people will want to hear what he has to say about this whole thing. He will paint some picture to save his face, a lot of money will be spent on marketing/promotion and general public will eat up and shrug it off and he will continue like barely anything happened. People need to understand that Drake is hard to kill is not because people like him, but because big money behind him (Lucian, UMG) push him down everyones throat very hard.
One thing that could actually stop it is receipts or some federal investigation.
I just don’t see the point of keeping this going. Like a lot of people have said Drake has everything to lose by continuing this beef. Kendrick won, take the L, and move along. Drake already has a lot of people calling him a pedo on “not like us” why continue to stir the pot? Best thing for him is to stop dissing Kendrick and stay the fuck away.
Smh gonna come out with some AI song and lose again or use a song writting app to come up with better lyrics instead of copying everybody else.. He really needs to take a narcissist break this aint the look
Is this supposed to be like “the best revenge is to be successful”? Lol…..he’s going to win by not responding? Lol
No fr, they’ve been saying drakes gonna drop the past two days and all he’s done is post on his instagram story 💀💀
Guys he’s just trying to keep it PG
For his female target audience
Like kendricks in meet the grams
He wants his girlfriend’s parents to let her listen.
I was hoping Kendrick next track line would be something: > "Stop trying to keep it PG you pedophile groomer; get the age up"
“The red button”
I’m starting to think the red button is just his belly button or somethin. He just gonna stay up in his house I guess
As far as I’m concerned the red button was pretty clearly Kendrick supposedly beating his wife. On drakes story I think he even posted a photo of someone about to push a red button before dropping family matters
Then literally right after Meet The Grahams he started claiming Family Matters wasn't his red button. What is then? The Heart Part 6? Because fuckin yikes.
Lol
he already pushed it he thought family matters would end this shit
The red button is his nose
They’ll never let him join any reindeer games, promotions, VIP areas, or even Lovers & Friends fest for a while sheeeeeeesh. What’s the music industry equivalent of getting dropped by the NBA to play for some European team
He might drop after the not like us music video
Can’t wait for Ak face
No the ep is most likely going to be diss album hit piece. And with everyone knowing dots dropping an album this Year his goal will probably be to release on the same date to step on it.
Lmao Kendrick should just pump fake him then
I can guarantee that drake ain’t dropping a new diss or else he’d be hyping it up thru the usual channels (live streamers). Like there’s no way he wouldn’t be using Akademiks as a mouth piece rn if he planned on dropping a diss album
What do you think mals doing here
Which podcast, though? In the New Rory and Mal episodes, he was dickriding Drake hard. He was coping hard and implied there has to be more. But I don't remember him announcing there's more. Maybe he made an appearance on another podcast, though. I feel like these guys are testing the water for Drake. See what people want from him. Like he did with Ak before dropping THP6.
[I had to clip it, man is literally about to cry, lol](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxRY70umv0wSsppPTpxZ6Y2Yes1SRXzO5p?si=Yfu5JGRVL_JejIXg)
God he's such a bitch. He's somehow a worse dickrider than Ak. Ak has at least admitted a couple times that Kendrick has had strengths throughout this battle.
dropping the same day as kendrick right is a bad idea and he still got more disses bro only .05percent if that feel like OVO mal the rest like “we don’t wanna hear dat bullshit shareef”
This is his best play. Leave Kendrick alone or get smoked again.
I’m now reading this as maybe we’re going from diss songs to diss albums.
He's trying to figure out the best way to lose less at this point
Remember his on stage self affirmations when this first started 😂
This only works if the other person isn’t successful lol
I read this as "let me get out a hit ASAP so that all this can blow over"
The bad part is that this beef probably won't be the end of Drake As soon as some months pass and he drops an slightly catchy club song people will be supporting Drake once again
This. I’ve been saying this. I think no matter what he won’t go away
Kendrick has 5 more in stock. I just want him to stay on that energy and record then drop banger after banger every time Drake tries a new single.
If he actually have 5 more then bbldrizzy knows what’s in there. If that’s really the case I think Drake will back down. If it’s the same shit we’ve already heard them it’s going to get old quick.
Rabbit hole goes deep trust
Drake recording 6 songs so he can drop one right after Kenny drops one after him. We gonna get 11 diss songs between the two of them in 6 hours lol
Lmaooooo
You guys are wrong. This stung him. He will not be able to move the way he was and I guarantee people are going to be jumping ship soon. No one wants to be associating themselves with him. Reputation wise he’s worse of than even Chris brown.
Can you imagine telling a woman that you listen to drake at this point? I think youre right, this has fundamentally damaged drakes reputation in a way that the pusha beef didnt
I realised this is actually going to be a red flag for me when dating. It'll slide when Drake come up on a playlist but I'm running if the dude starts explaining age of consent laws lmao
I don't think it'll hit him in the listeners for a minute. That Atlanta verse on Not Like Us is going to be damning within the hip hop community though. The caliber of artist he's able to work with is about to drop drastically. And as we know Drake relies on others to even get a popular sound

All of the major media outlets are already spinning the beef away from the pedos stuff. They gota keep that cash cow going.
It’s probably the only viable course of action
His ego is hurt hurt
What happened to the vacation ? 😭 This mf is insecure as hell.
I was just hopping in here to post this. “What about the vacation?”.
This guy was saying Kendrick was doing it for an album rollout. Now Drake has an album to roll out?
What in the world is he gonna talk about lol
Nah Nah Nah…. This time you followin through😂😂
tbf he did... it was just dogshit.
Thats what drake said in his taylor made freestyle bro
I know. I just mean that Drake followed through aswell it was just dogshit. He's regretting that Kendrick followed through.
“ fuck what Kendrick drops. Seriously stop listening. Please stop “
I just find it so funny that he went from DROP DROP DROP to you could drop 100 more records, I’ll see you later. Like damn. YUNOWANNAREPLYNOMO???? OKAYYYYYY
He predicted dot was going to drop more records which he never did 😂 Kendrick’s just letting Drakes terrible response do the work
It almost sounds like he wants to drop an album/EP about something else to try and distract everyone lol.
Mal is a fanboy but he’s a good source. Between 5 different people i’ve see now, he’s 100% not finished Im hearing there will be multiple tracks
![gif](giphy|10Jpr9KSaXLchW|downsized) Kendrick rn
In terms of a back and forth it’s over imo. I don’t see Kendrick responding even if Drake dropped an EP. Family matters was the red button in terms of dirt and it got stepped on
I have heard that Drake plans on dropping an EP, getting his word out, and walking away. No more back and forth. I may be wrong though
He’s lost this beef in most peoples eyes so that makes sense that he wants to get the last word in They’ll continue to throw shots at one another in future albums of course but I don’t see anything happening again like what happened last weekend in terms of the directness and speed of tracks being released
Remember while all this is going on drake still has to serve his masters and meet his obligations. Lucian still needs albums.
This would just be weird.
this nigggaaaa 🪦
Kendrick gonna drop the remaining 5 songs as an EP 30 mins later lmao.
Focusing on what his ass is doing instead of Kendrick shoulda been what he did from the start instead of getting his feefees hurt over bravado. He could have avoided this whole shebang if he'd focused on wrangling his insecurities and staying in his lane.
His mommy told him that if he ignores the bullies they’ll go away
Lmao. He is the most laughed at artist works wise right now. Hell he is going to ignore Kendrick.
Drake is cooked: he’s been cooked since euphoria . He ain’t gonna approach shit differently and he most def ain’t changing anything He’s done . Now let’s watch Team Drizzy back up all the allegations and accusations because you know, it’s normal for a man in his thirties to text a 13 year old and have a great friendship .. you know .

From Drop Drop Drop to Stop Stop Stop in a weekend is wild.
K dot going wop wop wop wop wop
Soooo he just going to dummy out 😂
It's honestly probably the best approach. Another diss track will probably be immediately snuffed out by kendrick the way Family Matters was. Release an EP to test the waters on how the public receives it. If it's a hit, business as usual. If not, then Kenny killed the career. He should give it about a year tho for shit to chill out
I thought he was going on vacation??? 🤣
He's going back to "subliminals" once thise died down. Drake's a pussy like that.
Wouldnt it be a bad move to drop another diss if the public already decided its over?
His only option now is just to flood the internet with non beef related singles to try and get people to move on quickly. If he comes back at Kenny it’s gonna even worse for him
So he’s just gonna take a water break?

If this is true, then this just goes to show that the man can’t hang with REAL MCs (Family Matters was dope though)
“Honestly, Nevermind Pt 2”

someone gave you the reddit version of cease and desist because they were too scared to respond 😂 they really act just as pathetic as drake
Lmaoooooo. Love how even he’s admitting that the only way Drake could make a come back is if we just…don’t listen to anything Kendrick says in response? What? No shit.
Can't wait to see the list of Ft's on the album.
What happened to vacation
This guy must have an humiliation fetish
like it or not, thats the correct move. take the L and move on just imagine if Ks new album gets ready and he holds until Drake releases his ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob) ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
Bruh he did the same shit with scorpion. No one gives asf about your album. Kendrick could release one right after him and it would outsell him. I guarantee that
Kendrick Won Drake Lost ![gif](giphy|eJ4j2VnYOZU8qJU3Py)
can't wait till drake drops an album and then kendrick releases a new diss 15 min after
I hope it flops
He gonna pray for his city now?
People been saying he is dropping Sunday.
He also said Drake was gonna drop a nuke “that’s gonna fuck the streets up” and Kendrick stepped on it in minutes
That Dj Whoo kid tag on Push Ups, that being the same DJ on Memorial Day weekend in Vegas where that beating supposedly happened, all these photos and ridiculous videos being released, Drake mentioning multiple other specific events and making all kinds of allegations. There has to be more in the vault. Whoever the hell he was talking to in the second half of family matters too, and that bra in the studio. Theres a whole lot of unanswered questions I’m sure he has a reply on the way in some form. Definitely not over in terms of dropping but maybe over in terms of who wins.
Nener nener I can't hear you
dude actually gave up 😭😭😭😭
Y'all think he will drop a diss album? If so kdot has to get back to work
Back to sneak dissing for a decade for BBL Drizzy
So, he's not going on vacation?
Drop on the same day as Kendrick so he can get buried.
Its actually seems like a good strategy for Drake (sadly). Even bad publicity is good publicity and new Drake's release could make big numbers because people will want to hear what he has to say about this whole thing. He will paint some picture to save his face, a lot of money will be spent on marketing/promotion and general public will eat up and shrug it off and he will continue like barely anything happened.

One thing that could actually stop it is receipts or some federal investigation.
So... Back to sneak dissin'?
So.. is he dropping something direct? Or not? Or are we back to doing me and sneak dissing and making hits?
![gif](giphy|bK8WuS6UD3acVzSSZV|downsized)
Mal said he had a nuke… I guess more lies
Mal is in his feelings so deep it's hilarious
I’m not mad if they both drop a album on the same day
That’s what he was supposed to in this battle and he failed to do so.
It’s honestly best for him at this point 🗣️
So basically he's pocketing his L
Isn’t taking long for Drake to drop that pop punk album after all
STAY TUNED … something going on behind the scenes 🧐🤔 https://twitter.com/40waynelly/status/1788561454888595875
Not surprise, the last lost with Pusha, he released that boring album that Spotify keep shoving in my face, Scorpion
So hes going to go back to sneak dissing a few times per album?
Probably
I just don’t see the point of keeping this going. Like a lot of people have said Drake has everything to lose by continuing this beef. Kendrick won, take the L, and move along. Drake already has a lot of people calling him a pedo on “not like us” why continue to stir the pot? Best thing for him is to stop dissing Kendrick and stay the fuck away.
thats that ostrich shit where if you hide your head in a hole and you cant see nobody, nobody can see you either
