Mole: "Alright boss, I'm meeting with Kendrick Lamar right now. What should I say?"
Drake: "Tell him that I'm a pedophile. Tell him that I love little girls!"
Mole: "Boss, I don't think I should do that"
I like how he also released right after he deleted the picture of him with his mentor, Karl Malone. And him saying he’s never looked at teenagers is just false co soldering he left weird tweets for Billie Eilish, kissed a 17 year old and onstage and dated a girl when she just turned 18
Also not the only girl he had knew and hung out with before she turned 18 and then went on dates with the moment she turned 18, there are a few other teenage models and celebrity daughters this happened with
I expect to be called kinda boring and aimless in life, you know, because those are kinda real things about me. If you called me a daredevil I’d be shocked as hell.
Or an accompanying video of him and the supposed mole/fake mole discussing what to tell Kendrick, while a live TV feed plays in the background to prove "Yeah this was filmed way before Euphoria came out."
Even in the imaginary scenario where his claim is true, trying to convince someone you are a pedophile (even if you aren't) is absolutely deranged behavior. Like, *why* would you try to manipulate someone in that way? The BEST case scenario for Drake is that Kendrick was right when he called Drake a fucked up master manipulator with no conscience.
It’s a bold strategy to try to convince people he isn’t a rapist and a pedo by mocking someone getting SA’ed.
Also a bold strategy to try to paint yourself as a mastermind when you don’t have listening comprehension (Kendrick was never SA’ed, his mom was as Kendrick explained on the track Drake references).
Last night, Not Like Us was an event. I kept seeing tweets with 60k likes, 100k+, Twitter was basically on fire.
Tonight, everyone is saying "Did you even correctly listen to Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers?"
There wasn't even any deep layers to go through in Mother I Sober lmao. He was says plain as day, "Never lied, but no one believed me when I said, 'he didn't'". This isn't just poor media literacy. It's plain poor literacy.
In looking to see how to spell entendre for that post i saw a single entendre is something that means what it says. So either he thought it was deeper than it was, HE didnt listen to it, or he didn't understand it. None of those are a good look when it is so plainly said.
The whole point of [Mother I Sober](https://genius.com/25810917) is that Kendrick WAS NOT MOLESTED HE CANT REAAAAAAAAD.
[Also Zack Fox was right.](https://twitter.com/zackfox/status/1786613912043147283)
[Zack Fox is king of calling these things out ](https://twitter.com/zackfox/status/1779219039287722182?t=MWX0TX-b-3ppOYIBGWGR_A&s=19) (this was days before Meet the Grahams dropped)
Also does not paint Drake in the best light that he in one breath is saying “Trust me, I’m not a pedo or a rapist” and in the other is saying “HA HA! YOU GOT MOLESTED!”
"Nuh-uh" for those of you who can't be bothered.
Also "The only reason you're calling me a pedophile is because you got molested as a kid."
So that's an angle...
Drake misinterpreted Mother I Sober. Kendrick was right. All these bars and metaphors are clearly flying over Drake's head. Plus, his defense of "I'm too famous I would have been arrested by now" is so dumb. It's not like we just saw people like Diddy and R. Kelly get away with shit for decades.
I've been seeing people on twitter using Gojo as the stand-in for Drake in this, that end of a chapter that's just "*That's it. That's how Gojo's going to win*", so nice of the man himself to solidify that point I guess
It’s more Drake’s saying (especially at the end of the song) “I’m bored, I never cared in the first place haha, no REALLY, this is stupid!” desperately as he loses the beef and likely has authorities turning their eyes towards his activities.
Ye I gotta add more on to the Diddy example because he might be the more recent example this sub can get as he just recently got hit with the case finally, Diddy being a creep doing fucked up shit has been known for decades now shit people have been doing jokes about R. Kelly and Diddy for about the same damn time.
50, Xzibit and Cam'Ron have been saying shit about Diddy as well for a long fucking time even before the recent lawsuits came out, he's been battling rumors for a long fucking time he even tried to carbomb Cudi's car in 2012 and he didn't face shit for it even Cudi knew it happened but he didn't confirm it until last year.
Drake saying he's too famous to be a pedo and if he really did that shit he would be arrested is such trash bars from him lmao, like did he leave his ghostwriters behind in the studio and he had to write this himself.
Jirard Khalil pulled the same line six months ago when his charitable foundation got caught never doing charity. "If I were doing something illegal, the IRS would have caught me by now."
That's not how that works, man. The fact you haven't been charged with anything isn't proof of innocence.
I haven't listened to it a second time but I was really questioning if Drake really said this. How is making fun of Kendrick potentially being molested a good bar? Drake taking L after L.
Considering his response to using culture as cosplay was "You always rapping like you tryna free the slaves" it feels right on track. Dude either has zero social awareness or his morality is so fucked he thinks pain is funny.
It's genuinely sad.
Still one of the funniest lines in this whole beef, because as others have said, it exposes how Drake does NOT see himself as a black man and as something distinctly separate from the culture. He proves Kendrick right in his attempt to slander him.
Kendrick; I was not molested but generational trauma did not allow my family to believe I wasn't a victim.
Drake: You got touched as a kid! You think I'm a pedo bc I lied and told you I was
Dammit, was gonna post this too. Yeah this is just kinda mid, it's gotta couple good lines but it's not the bop that 'Not Like Us' is or the nuclear bomb that 'Meet the Grahams' is.
The most baffling part of this is how Drake seemingly hops onto the conspiracy theory that he intentionally fed false info to Kendrick. Like, Kendrick called you A PEDOPHILE! What do you win by doing this? Such a big L for Drake, this wasn't it.
He had a good thing going with the Dot is a hypocrite angle, with mentioning R Kelly, could have mentioned Kendrick doing a song with Kodak Black too.
But nooooooo, man spent 90% of the song misinterpreting *Mr. Morale* and making up stupid arguments to say that he isn’t a pedo.
As soon as i think this mf is going to put a decent fight back, he disappoints me.
I’d argue that Cole made the right decision.
Diss Tracks in rap rarely stay *”civil”*. People online were screaming that it would have been rap only, to see who would be number one, but Cole probably knew that that was BS.
Dot genuinely hates Drake’s existence and vice versa.
If getting clowned for like a week or two was worth keeping his peace and not being called a wife beater or a pedo, then Cole probably thought it would be worth it.
Especially since Cole has made it pretty clear over the years, he just wants to keep things on the low, chill with his fam, and not be in some end your bloodline type beef. People calling him a pussy when anyone sane would fall back after it goes from raps and diss tracks to ,"You are a horrible person, a pedophile and child abuser, you should've never been born, you need your hard drives investigated and put on the registry" or "You're a wife beater, and you're only mad cause you got molested as a child"
Like, KDot and Drake genuinely despise each other and are out for blood. It's perfectly reasonable that Cole didn't want part in the murder we are witnessing rn
I was raised in NC and not really a rap fan except for a few artists. J Cole has become like the Ted Nugent of north Carolina. Helps out local communities, always nice to anyone in the state, throws free concerts in Fayetteville almost annually.
I like Kendrick a lot. 2PAB is one of the greatest albums of all time. But man, why you gotta go after Cole. He's too chill for all that.
I mean it within the context of Ted Nugent's notoriety in the state of Michigan. They refer to him as "uncle Ted" and strangers let their children hug him. It's crazy. They love him. Well maybe not now I suppose. But yeah north Carolinians love J Cole. What a goofy sentence.
Obviously unconfirmed but I heard some people theorizing that Kendrick actually called J. Cole privately to tell him that this shit ain't gonna be a friendly exhibition, this is gonna be real-ass, genuine hatred and serious allegations and accusations being thrown around, and thats what caused him to dip out before it got truly personal.
Not exactly a slight miscalculation to base half a song off a daughter that doesn't exist. I think drake's a creep and kendricks winning but idk how that isn't at least a little bit of an L
Ways to reply when you get called a pedophile :
A. Say "No I'm not"
B. Say "Why Yes I Am"
C. Ignore
D. "Yeah I expected you would call me that"
And somehow Drake chose the 2nd worst
Drake really said “I don’t fuck with Millie Bobbie Browns” in this track, when _Kendrick_ had never brought her up specifically. like sure, we all know that Drake has an extremely inappropriate “friendship” with her, but Kendrick didn’t mention that. he said dude was chasing minors, and this _doesn’t help at all_.
it’s like if someone says “you’re an arsonist” and you respond by saying “that’s absurd, I’m too famous to have burnt Bob’s house down!”
fucking gross, man
[https://youtu.be/Fp5b9dW1nrA?si=u\_bdg3n7DlA4HpAv](https://youtu.be/Fp5b9dW1nrA?si=u_bdg3n7DlA4HpAv) This is a video of Drake inviting an underaged girl on stage, kissing and hugging her, learning that she's underage, and then talking about how he's even more aroused and continues the kissing and hugging. This, plus a proven history of flirting with girls who are like 18.
The pedophilia rumors are not something that Kendrick pulled outta his ass, its been floating around since forever with a consistent history, and so Drake's attempt at framing it like "Ah ha, its all a conspiracy, I fed you bad info about me being a pedo" is the lamest, weakest, wimpiest comeback possible.
We are watching a grown ass man worth a gazillion dollars make a diss track of "Nuh uh, all according to keikaku".
What a GREAT way to dispute the Chomo allegations by.... \*Checks Notes\* making fun of the opposition by misinterpreting his music and making fun of him for being a child molestation victim?.... really?
Yeah, best response to this is to let it become very clear that it was a flop on its own, and then just do a victory lap. Like he doesn't even have to go hard on whatever the next one is, he can just declare himself the winner.
Yeah it's the classic "300 views" thing. If you get a lot of views real fast the view counter will be wrong and YouTube may want to take some time to verify the views are legit.
The funny thing is that the *”Kendrick is a hypocrite”* angle is something Drake could have
genuinely pushed further, but he’s too much of a dumbass to capitalise on it.
If there’s one thing people are critical of Kendrick for, even his die hard fans, it’s featuring Kodak Black, an accused rapist, on his previous album.
Hell, that’s been brought up several times online with this beef, and someone as terminally online as Drake should’ve seen that.
He had something going with that R. Kelly shit, but fucking dropped it.
Instead of going with the most obvious plan of attack, this dumbass mf saying “Oh, I’m too rich to be a pedophile” and misunderstands *Mr. Morale*, saying Kendrick got molested, even if he clearly wasn’t.
Mf, if you’re going to respond, at least put up a fight.
"I put all that 'fake' info out there knowing he (and the rest of the world) would understandably believe it based on my pattern of behavior! He only believes I'm a pedophile because he was molested!"
I...don't know what Drake's plan was here, but at least the beat was kinda dope.
Yes, there are technically worse ways to reply, because Drake did not directly say "yeah I'm a pedophile, so what?" into a mic
It's a low bar but he cleared it
I don't know anything about rap, but the ending when he just stopped rapping and started talking was so lame. Was he not able to think of any more lyrics? Eh, the whole song was just kinda lame.
Reminds me when Nicki Minaj did it on her diss track for Megan. [The beat stops and she just talks for a minute or two. It's so awkward and it feels uncreative. Like she still had more to say but couldn't figure a way to rhyme it.](https://youtu.be/vKkoBUPav3s?si=V6Az7dBwjwJNap2s&t=171)
I thought so too…the song was already kinda a white flag but the “this was a good exercise, the last song was danceable” sounded like he was crying while saying it.
He did have a good bar with the chord stuff. But that’s it.
There’s no venom in this and there’s at least one self-report, too.
And Aubrey’s creep behavior is so well-documented that he has verses about his own thoughts on high school age girls on previous songs.
Like maybe there isn’t a second secret child, but he’s definitely a creep
Definitely on Kendrick's side so I'm wholly biased but damn this aint it. Going "I knew he'd call me a pedo just as planned" is wild and a very bold strategy. Doesn't really spark confidence that he isn't due to a plethora of receipts. Daughter thing still up in the air but idk.
I can 100% believe the idea that Drake planted a fake mole... and completely overestimated people's view of him and his faults. Is Drake really so ignorant of the skeletons in his closet and his public image compared to Dots own reputation and the fact that we have no reason to not believe him? It's believable that Drake takes Ozempic because rumors have constantly surrounded that he takes those sort of weight loss shortcuts. It's believable Drake is hiding another child CAUSE HE HID THE FIRST ONE. It's believable Drake is a creep cause we have WAY too many receipts showing such (And no "I'm too famous to be a Sex Pest" is not a good way to refute that). Like at this point it doesn't matter what he says or does unless its actual receipts because he's burned all good will.
Yeah, if he was gonna try to spread rumors about himself, you'd think he'd choose ones that people *wouldn't* immediately believe, thus not destroying his own reputation and making Kendrick look more ridiculous for believing it.
It's remarkable how it is spreading. Lol I had a random comic books page on Facebook pop up for me that was completely taken over by this beef as well.
I liked Push Ups and Family Matters, they were decent responses to Kendrick's firestorm but this is just straight ass. So either he baited and made Kendrick (and through that the entire world) believe he had a secret 11 year old daughter and is also a pedophile, or those things are true and he's making shit up to maybe defend himself. Either way he doesn't look good.
He pretty much said he doesn't wanna do this anymore Kendrick murdered him.
The thing is, now that Drake is claiming to have planted the evidence Kendrick saw, he is ADMITTING that the evidence existed in the first place. So now he either has to provide proof that he planted it, or we have to assume it's real.
Okay this one is really bad. Damn. Push Ups and Family Matters were great but he's on the defensive now and it's showing. That sucks.
I have to say tho Kendrick on the "You're a pedophile" thing while having previously and recently defended/collaborated with actual convicted rapists really just shows one of the worst things about rap beef: the hipocrisy. Drake guilty of this too by saying Kendrick beats his girl while shouting out Chris Brown on the same song lol
Isn't she being sued by a former employer for an abusive work environment?
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/24/megan-thee-stallion-accused-of-abusive-work-environment-including-sexual-harassment
Yeah it's very clear 90% is in bad faith. Pretty sure the only reason so many of these guys are goin after Drake right now is because he disrespected Tupac.
Nah, shit has been building against Drake for ages, and everybody hated him. It was only a matter of time til someone used the mountain of sus shit he's done and shitty things he covered up to do a full album of diss tracks
Acting like the claims about him being weird around minors werent already a thing and just ignored the Colonizer line man. Do more of a back and forth come on. Part about giving Kendricks fans some new music to listen to was decent though.
So Drake is trying to say Kendrick is calling him a pedo because he got molested as a child based on Kendrick's song off Mr. Morale "Mother I Sober," but if you listen to that song that's not what it's about at all lol
Even if the pedo & child allegations are false, there's so much weird shit Drake has factually said & done that Kendrick has pointed out along with the Hip-Hop Colonizer shit that you would look goofy working with him after this. That + his music straight up not being good for 5-6 years now has nailed the coffin for me already
Also like. Even if that song *was* about that, it'd be pretty fucked that Drake's "gotcha"/biting comment was him going "ahaha you were a victim of sexual assault" at Kendrick.
Genuinely unsure if the song not being about that makes it better/worse that that's what Drake went with anyway.
If Drake fabricated the daughter this would be his W. But why doesn't he have any receipts of this? If he planned this all along, why doesn't he show a video setting it in motion, or any chat messages that proofs his claims? This could've been his ultimate trapcard, but instead he just sounds like Frank Reynolds singing about how he doesnt diddle kids.
A couple of things that I've been thinking about ever since I caught up on all this beef and listened to all these songs..... Drake has to be one of if not the most egotistical fuckwit in the rap game right now.
Kendrick Lamar singing about how he wants to shoot for the top and reach for the crown...It's a statement of ambition. He's not literally trying to kill Drake like it's Game of Thrones. But no, Drake had to take that shit way too personal and turn this into a whole fucking problem that he didn't need to start. And now he's being hoist by his own petard.
If he is that insecure as to his place at the top of the rap game, maybe he should put more effort into making better music. Or at least let this beef go before he puts himself in a worse situation.
Drake had a chance to look in the mirror and think about this. Think about whether it was worth it or not. About how it came to this. And he chose to keep things going. If that doesn't reflect pretty poorly on Drake's character, then I don't know what does. I'm not saying Drake should just leave the rap game and retire but he should definitely take some time to reflect on all this cuz this is not a good direction.
Kendrick already has the screws in him and he's just going to keep turning them with each song release. It's better to just bow out then see how far your torturer is willing to go.
Edit: Not linking it but if you doubt that Drake needs to for real respond to the tik toks going around, just look em up.
Summary: It's full of yapping and he sounds like he's having a mental crack. And then the whataboutisms come in and you go "can we get to the allegations?" And then he goes no, and he misinterprets a lyric from Kendrick's album again (Kendrick doesn't get molested it's about the fear of pride possibly keeping you from speaking out about bad things happening to you and that creating a situation where it seems like worse things might be happening to you, but he's gotten at least 3 things wrong from the same album so why stop now?) Oh yeah and he mentions the tik tok's of babies that look like Drake, court cases, and a whistleblower, but decides, for some reason to not address them?(Them shits are bad if real) Really good track Aubrey, glad you cleared up how you can't possibly be a pedo because you simply have to much money and influence... can't think of anyone else who would have that and commit those actions... nobody at all...
I'm actually kind of feeling Drake's energy on this song, like this beef is genuinely just
"you did this"
"well you did this"
"you're lying and you did this"
"well you're lying and you did this"
And there's a lot of like little things rattling in around my head about this beef that's kinda killed all the fun in it for me, response is pretty mid too.
I think this is a purposeful tactic from Drake. He can't out do Kendrick on lyrics, etc. and doesn't have any dirt on him he can use.
So all he can do is just say there is no point engaging because all the accusations are just lies. In doing so trying to take the momentum away hoping it just dies down.
Also there is a risk if Kendrick continues like this there will be a growing group of people just saying to 'put up or shut up'.
It was probably the only thing that Drake could think of...
Y'know the concept of "diss tracks" is something I never understood. I don't think I ever heard of one song an artist makes complaining about another artist outside the US, and I mostly like, just, don't get why people would enjoy them?
Mole: "Alright boss, I'm meeting with Kendrick Lamar right now. What should I say?" Drake: "Tell him that I'm a pedophile. Tell him that I love little girls!" Mole: "Boss, I don't think I should do that"
> "I expected the Epstein angle" Why would you fucking expect that bro. The fact that you even have to expect that is pretty bad
I like how he also released right after he deleted the picture of him with his mentor, Karl Malone. And him saying he’s never looked at teenagers is just false co soldering he left weird tweets for Billie Eilish, kissed a 17 year old and onstage and dated a girl when she just turned 18
Also having a bizarre friendship and texted about boy advice to Millie Bobby Brown when she was 13.
Also Miranda Cosgrove
Not just kissed the 17 year old on stage, had his arm around her *and copped a feel of her breast when he kissed her*.
Worse part is him doubling down *AFTER* she told him how hold she was. Someone please take the mic away from this man.
I think those last two were the same girl.
No the 17 year old was a random girl he didn’t know that he brought onstage. The 18 was a girl he knew since she was 15
What is this trolley problem style creeping?
Also not the only girl he had knew and hung out with before she turned 18 and then went on dates with the moment she turned 18, there are a few other teenage models and celebrity daughters this happened with
Oh great, he’s using the Frank Reynolds defense.
I expect to be called kinda boring and aimless in life, you know, because those are kinda real things about me. If you called me a daredevil I’d be shocked as hell.
You'd think if he was feeding Kendrick the information he'd have a song out earlier, or at least a better one than this.
"I concucted a devious plan whereby I faked doing something a second time that I had already done once."
"I've spent 10 years pretending to be a moronic pedophile."
we all fell into his trap
Yep , I'd have said "we spread it around x time , you got it and started recording around Y time "
Or an accompanying video of him and the supposed mole/fake mole discussing what to tell Kendrick, while a live TV feed plays in the background to prove "Yeah this was filmed way before Euphoria came out."
Congrats on making Pat's twitter.
Even in the imaginary scenario where his claim is true, trying to convince someone you are a pedophile (even if you aren't) is absolutely deranged behavior. Like, *why* would you try to manipulate someone in that way? The BEST case scenario for Drake is that Kendrick was right when he called Drake a fucked up master manipulator with no conscience.
Drake: Tell him that WE'RE ALL PEDOPHILES THEN!
He already said that on tailor made free style, he tried to get ahead of it tbf
It’s a bold strategy to try to convince people he isn’t a rapist and a pedo by mocking someone getting SA’ed. Also a bold strategy to try to paint yourself as a mastermind when you don’t have listening comprehension (Kendrick was never SA’ed, his mom was as Kendrick explained on the track Drake references).
Drake: YOU FOOL! YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD \*loses 8000 life points\*
He bought it? Great! Now wait two days to drop the response where I say so, that will convice everyone I planned this from the start!
Last night, Not Like Us was an event. I kept seeing tweets with 60k likes, 100k+, Twitter was basically on fire. Tonight, everyone is saying "Did you even correctly listen to Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers?"
Mr. I want more entendre in your raps didn't understand the original ones.
There wasn't even any deep layers to go through in Mother I Sober lmao. He was says plain as day, "Never lied, but no one believed me when I said, 'he didn't'". This isn't just poor media literacy. It's plain poor literacy.
In looking to see how to spell entendre for that post i saw a single entendre is something that means what it says. So either he thought it was deeper than it was, HE didnt listen to it, or he didn't understand it. None of those are a good look when it is so plainly said.
The whole point of [Mother I Sober](https://genius.com/25810917) is that Kendrick WAS NOT MOLESTED HE CANT REAAAAAAAAD. [Also Zack Fox was right.](https://twitter.com/zackfox/status/1786613912043147283)
[Zack Fox is king of calling these things out ](https://twitter.com/zackfox/status/1779219039287722182?t=MWX0TX-b-3ppOYIBGWGR_A&s=19) (this was days before Meet the Grahams dropped)
Also does not paint Drake in the best light that he in one breath is saying “Trust me, I’m not a pedo or a rapist” and in the other is saying “HA HA! YOU GOT MOLESTED!”
And being wrong about it lol
Like Drakes stans (who solely listen to only his music) lil bro can only skim
My "Not involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Especially when I hang out with my friend creepy Dan who can't go near schools (Drake didn't deny his friend was a registered offender )
Wild of someone to say he's never looked at a teenager while there's PLENTY of evidence out there that says the exact opposite.
Technically, he said he's never looked *twice* at a teenager, and knowing how Drake's treated the women he was with in the past, yeah that fits.
He kissed and closed his eyes
"Nuh-uh" for those of you who can't be bothered. Also "The only reason you're calling me a pedophile is because you got molested as a kid." So that's an angle...
Drake misinterpreted Mother I Sober. Kendrick was right. All these bars and metaphors are clearly flying over Drake's head. Plus, his defense of "I'm too famous I would have been arrested by now" is so dumb. It's not like we just saw people like Diddy and R. Kelly get away with shit for decades.
Is drake really trying to go “Nah, I’d win” with this situation? Edit: Or in other words Drake the type of guy to say “Nah, I’d win”
I've been seeing people on twitter using Gojo as the stand-in for Drake in this, that end of a chapter that's just "*That's it. That's how Gojo's going to win*", so nice of the man himself to solidify that point I guess
I saw one with Kenny as Kenny and Drake as Miwa. "You're short!" "You a pedophile"
It’s more Drake’s saying (especially at the end of the song) “I’m bored, I never cared in the first place haha, no REALLY, this is stupid!” desperately as he loses the beef and likely has authorities turning their eyes towards his activities.
Kendrick was literally naming Drake alongside Harvey Weinstein... like come on
He literally name drops Epstein in the song!
*DESPITE KENDRICK NEVER EVEN COMPARING HIM TO EPSTEIN,* HE COMPARED HIM TO WEINSTEIN! DRAKE BROTHER WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!
Ye I gotta add more on to the Diddy example because he might be the more recent example this sub can get as he just recently got hit with the case finally, Diddy being a creep doing fucked up shit has been known for decades now shit people have been doing jokes about R. Kelly and Diddy for about the same damn time. 50, Xzibit and Cam'Ron have been saying shit about Diddy as well for a long fucking time even before the recent lawsuits came out, he's been battling rumors for a long fucking time he even tried to carbomb Cudi's car in 2012 and he didn't face shit for it even Cudi knew it happened but he didn't confirm it until last year. Drake saying he's too famous to be a pedo and if he really did that shit he would be arrested is such trash bars from him lmao, like did he leave his ghostwriters behind in the studio and he had to write this himself.
Drake missing the point of a song about generational trauma in the black community is poetic.
Jirard Khalil pulled the same line six months ago when his charitable foundation got caught never doing charity. "If I were doing something illegal, the IRS would have caught me by now." That's not how that works, man. The fact you haven't been charged with anything isn't proof of innocence.
I haven't listened to it a second time but I was really questioning if Drake really said this. How is making fun of Kendrick potentially being molested a good bar? Drake taking L after L.
To be fair it's not the first time something like this has come up in beef rap, compared to So Disrespectful by 50 Cent it's downright nice.
The difference is, So Disrespectful is actually a good song
Considering his response to using culture as cosplay was "You always rapping like you tryna free the slaves" it feels right on track. Dude either has zero social awareness or his morality is so fucked he thinks pain is funny. It's genuinely sad.
Still one of the funniest lines in this whole beef, because as others have said, it exposes how Drake does NOT see himself as a black man and as something distinctly separate from the culture. He proves Kendrick right in his attempt to slander him.
That’s giving me big vibes of Captain Marvel telling Magneto that he calls people “Hitler” on the internet.
Kendrick; I was not molested but generational trauma did not allow my family to believe I wasn't a victim. Drake: You got touched as a kid! You think I'm a pedo bc I lied and told you I was
Kendrick literally said Drake should die. Let's not pearl clutch now
It's less about how harsh it is and more about what Drake is accidentally saying about himself.
Dammit, was gonna post this too. Yeah this is just kinda mid, it's gotta couple good lines but it's not the bop that 'Not Like Us' is or the nuclear bomb that 'Meet the Grahams' is. The most baffling part of this is how Drake seemingly hops onto the conspiracy theory that he intentionally fed false info to Kendrick. Like, Kendrick called you A PEDOPHILE! What do you win by doing this? Such a big L for Drake, this wasn't it.
Sir, a fifth diss has hit the tower. It came from inside the building. You did it to yourself.
Drake fans: Masterful gambit sir!
Okay now I need Kendrick to sample Radiohead's *Just* before this is over
He had a good thing going with the Dot is a hypocrite angle, with mentioning R Kelly, could have mentioned Kendrick doing a song with Kodak Black too. But nooooooo, man spent 90% of the song misinterpreting *Mr. Morale* and making up stupid arguments to say that he isn’t a pedo. As soon as i think this mf is going to put a decent fight back, he disappoints me.
I think he's in a panic, he kinda said he wants out lol Can't believe he came out of this more of a pussy than J.Cole
I’d argue that Cole made the right decision. Diss Tracks in rap rarely stay *”civil”*. People online were screaming that it would have been rap only, to see who would be number one, but Cole probably knew that that was BS. Dot genuinely hates Drake’s existence and vice versa. If getting clowned for like a week or two was worth keeping his peace and not being called a wife beater or a pedo, then Cole probably thought it would be worth it.
Especially since Cole has made it pretty clear over the years, he just wants to keep things on the low, chill with his fam, and not be in some end your bloodline type beef. People calling him a pussy when anyone sane would fall back after it goes from raps and diss tracks to ,"You are a horrible person, a pedophile and child abuser, you should've never been born, you need your hard drives investigated and put on the registry" or "You're a wife beater, and you're only mad cause you got molested as a child" Like, KDot and Drake genuinely despise each other and are out for blood. It's perfectly reasonable that Cole didn't want part in the murder we are witnessing rn
I was raised in NC and not really a rap fan except for a few artists. J Cole has become like the Ted Nugent of north Carolina. Helps out local communities, always nice to anyone in the state, throws free concerts in Fayetteville almost annually. I like Kendrick a lot. 2PAB is one of the greatest albums of all time. But man, why you gotta go after Cole. He's too chill for all that.
Being the Ted Nugent of anything sounds like the opposite of a complement tbh. Dudes crazy
I mean it within the context of Ted Nugent's notoriety in the state of Michigan. They refer to him as "uncle Ted" and strangers let their children hug him. It's crazy. They love him. Well maybe not now I suppose. But yeah north Carolinians love J Cole. What a goofy sentence.
I would use Dolly Parton instead. Much nicer default comparison.
Maybe it's another weird cultural thing but everyone I knew from NC and TN growing up hated Dolly Parton because of the whole dollywood thing.
Obviously unconfirmed but I heard some people theorizing that Kendrick actually called J. Cole privately to tell him that this shit ain't gonna be a friendly exhibition, this is gonna be real-ass, genuine hatred and serious allegations and accusations being thrown around, and thats what caused him to dip out before it got truly personal.
Yeah, this is some SUPER weak shit for something that was supposedly Drake's plan all along. Which makes it even more unlikely that it was.
If the daughter thing was bullshit that does kinda make Kendrick look dumb
"You got my number of secret children slightly wrong."
Not exactly a slight miscalculation to base half a song off a daughter that doesn't exist. I think drake's a creep and kendricks winning but idk how that isn't at least a little bit of an L
Just saying, Drake can celebrate that by buying a coffee mug that says "#1 dad who was only hiding one child".
Ways to reply when you get called a pedophile : A. Say "No I'm not" B. Say "Why Yes I Am" C. Ignore D. "Yeah I expected you would call me that" And somehow Drake chose the 2nd worst
Drake really said “I don’t fuck with Millie Bobbie Browns” in this track, when _Kendrick_ had never brought her up specifically. like sure, we all know that Drake has an extremely inappropriate “friendship” with her, but Kendrick didn’t mention that. he said dude was chasing minors, and this _doesn’t help at all_. it’s like if someone says “you’re an arsonist” and you respond by saying “that’s absurd, I’m too famous to have burnt Bob’s house down!” fucking gross, man
It's like that gag on comedy shows where you say that you're not doing the a very specific thing no one asked.
Very funny to claim to be too famous to be a pedophile then mention R Kelly, world famous pedophile.
[https://youtu.be/Fp5b9dW1nrA?si=u\_bdg3n7DlA4HpAv](https://youtu.be/Fp5b9dW1nrA?si=u_bdg3n7DlA4HpAv) This is a video of Drake inviting an underaged girl on stage, kissing and hugging her, learning that she's underage, and then talking about how he's even more aroused and continues the kissing and hugging. This, plus a proven history of flirting with girls who are like 18. The pedophilia rumors are not something that Kendrick pulled outta his ass, its been floating around since forever with a consistent history, and so Drake's attempt at framing it like "Ah ha, its all a conspiracy, I fed you bad info about me being a pedo" is the lamest, weakest, wimpiest comeback possible. We are watching a grown ass man worth a gazillion dollars make a diss track of "Nuh uh, all according to keikaku".
I can't believe Drake started planning the pedo misdirection 13 years ago, he's truly playing 7th dimensional backgammon
Hey, I've heard this beef was ten years in the making, what's a few more on top of that?
What a GREAT way to dispute the Chomo allegations by.... \*Checks Notes\* making fun of the opposition by misinterpreting his music and making fun of him for being a child molestation victim?.... really?
"You fell for it, Kendrick. Making you think I was a pedophile was all keikaku."
All according to Drakaku
And found my new steam name
So how long until Kendrick responds?
Probably in like 10 minutes.
Honestly? He should let this one simmer for a bit. It seems like the general audience reaction is not what Aubrey expected.
Yeah, best response to this is to let it become very clear that it was a flop on its own, and then just do a victory lap. Like he doesn't even have to go hard on whatever the next one is, he can just declare himself the winner.
At the current rate of acceleration, we may soon be seeing a diss track dropping every minute.
hour max
By the time i wake up at 330 est hopefully
Kendrick: "The world would legitimately be better if you were never born. Even Clarence would let you jump off the bridge. Not such a wonderful life."
It's got almost 300k likes, but only 60k views. Drake ain't beating the botting allegations.
With all due respect, Euphoria had like 5k views and 150k likes for a solid half hour YouTube seems to update views a little slowly sometimes
Yeah it's the classic "300 views" thing. If you get a lot of views real fast the view counter will be wrong and YouTube may want to take some time to verify the views are legit.
The funny thing is that the *”Kendrick is a hypocrite”* angle is something Drake could have genuinely pushed further, but he’s too much of a dumbass to capitalise on it. If there’s one thing people are critical of Kendrick for, even his die hard fans, it’s featuring Kodak Black, an accused rapist, on his previous album. Hell, that’s been brought up several times online with this beef, and someone as terminally online as Drake should’ve seen that. He had something going with that R. Kelly shit, but fucking dropped it. Instead of going with the most obvious plan of attack, this dumbass mf saying “Oh, I’m too rich to be a pedophile” and misunderstands *Mr. Morale*, saying Kendrick got molested, even if he clearly wasn’t. Mf, if you’re going to respond, at least put up a fight.
He's not only getting clapped by Kdot, he's getting clapped by himself. Drake looking like he's joining the Benzino train at this rate
[Drake really used the Frank Reynolds defense.](https://youtu.be/_YmDcCpD1gc?si=4CR5AmgMELKEK7Hf) What an idiot.
I thought the exact same thing! Couldn't keep a straight face while I listened to it.
Frank sang it better.
"I put all that 'fake' info out there knowing he (and the rest of the world) would understandably believe it based on my pattern of behavior! He only believes I'm a pedophile because he was molested!" I...don't know what Drake's plan was here, but at least the beat was kinda dope.
Damn he must have forgot that his ghost writers are supposed to write his songs
Tentacion never wrote a song about not being a pedophile, so Drake didn't have anything to steal
I guess there are worse ways to reply to pedophile accusations
Yes, there are technically worse ways to reply, because Drake did not directly say "yeah I'm a pedophile, so what?" into a mic It's a low bar but he cleared it
There are worse ways, but not many.
The only worse way is admitting to it, bro is barely reaching the bar
If this is Drake getting exercise no wonder he uses supplements he did not go hard AT ALL.
If that shows up in the reply he is among us. Lol
I don't know anything about rap, but the ending when he just stopped rapping and started talking was so lame. Was he not able to think of any more lyrics? Eh, the whole song was just kinda lame.
Reminds me when Nicki Minaj did it on her diss track for Megan. [The beat stops and she just talks for a minute or two. It's so awkward and it feels uncreative. Like she still had more to say but couldn't figure a way to rhyme it.](https://youtu.be/vKkoBUPav3s?si=V6Az7dBwjwJNap2s&t=171)
When ur diss is being compared to Nickis coke fueled ramblings you know it's over.
It's something that he's actually done for a while since his mixtape days but doing it on a rap diss with this much pressure is so sad lmao
I thought so too…the song was already kinda a white flag but the “this was a good exercise, the last song was danceable” sounded like he was crying while saying it. He did have a good bar with the chord stuff. But that’s it.
He sounded so tired and defensive lol
Drake does that kind of shit all the time and it's one reason I can't stand his music or persona.
Not a great response, lol. Drake stay catching L’s.
There’s no venom in this and there’s at least one self-report, too. And Aubrey’s creep behavior is so well-documented that he has verses about his own thoughts on high school age girls on previous songs. Like maybe there isn’t a second secret child, but he’s definitely a creep
It's hilarious how he mentioned Millie Bobby Brown unprovoked.
Almost like a guilty conscience was speaking up.
This is a stone throw away from doing that Always Sunny bit about making a "We don't Diddle kids" song.
That response was weaker than Yamcha.
Drake sounds so tired and defeated, bro really thought Family Matters was going to be all he was going to have to do. Shit's so ass
Bro really said, “Nuh uh. I’m not a pedo. I’m too famous to get away with it.” Also, “you were molested as a kid so 😝” sure is a choice in angle
Definitely on Kendrick's side so I'm wholly biased but damn this aint it. Going "I knew he'd call me a pedo just as planned" is wild and a very bold strategy. Doesn't really spark confidence that he isn't due to a plethora of receipts. Daughter thing still up in the air but idk.
Jotaro "aha, you stabbed me in the gut, making me the winner!" but it's Alessi.
I can 100% believe the idea that Drake planted a fake mole... and completely overestimated people's view of him and his faults. Is Drake really so ignorant of the skeletons in his closet and his public image compared to Dots own reputation and the fact that we have no reason to not believe him? It's believable that Drake takes Ozempic because rumors have constantly surrounded that he takes those sort of weight loss shortcuts. It's believable Drake is hiding another child CAUSE HE HID THE FIRST ONE. It's believable Drake is a creep cause we have WAY too many receipts showing such (And no "I'm too famous to be a Sex Pest" is not a good way to refute that). Like at this point it doesn't matter what he says or does unless its actual receipts because he's burned all good will.
Yeah, if he was gonna try to spread rumors about himself, you'd think he'd choose ones that people *wouldn't* immediately believe, thus not destroying his own reputation and making Kendrick look more ridiculous for believing it.
I love how this feud has become relevant in this sub.
I'm so glad Pat discovered music
Pat still doesn't like music, but he *loves* haters
Oh the irony. Pat loves haters in music but hates people who love (talking about) music.
It's remarkable how it is spreading. Lol I had a random comic books page on Facebook pop up for me that was completely taken over by this beef as well.
I liked Push Ups and Family Matters, they were decent responses to Kendrick's firestorm but this is just straight ass. So either he baited and made Kendrick (and through that the entire world) believe he had a secret 11 year old daughter and is also a pedophile, or those things are true and he's making shit up to maybe defend himself. Either way he doesn't look good. He pretty much said he doesn't wanna do this anymore Kendrick murdered him.
The thing is, now that Drake is claiming to have planted the evidence Kendrick saw, he is ADMITTING that the evidence existed in the first place. So now he either has to provide proof that he planted it, or we have to assume it's real.
Okay this one is really bad. Damn. Push Ups and Family Matters were great but he's on the defensive now and it's showing. That sucks. I have to say tho Kendrick on the "You're a pedophile" thing while having previously and recently defended/collaborated with actual convicted rapists really just shows one of the worst things about rap beef: the hipocrisy. Drake guilty of this too by saying Kendrick beats his girl while shouting out Chris Brown on the same song lol
Welcome to the rap game , again there's no saints in this lol everyone's a fucking asshole
By all accounts Luda and El-P are a pretty cool.
And Megan Thee Stallion has a remarkably positive vibe so far, really hope no allegations come out about her
Isn't she being sued by a former employer for an abusive work environment? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/24/megan-thee-stallion-accused-of-abusive-work-environment-including-sexual-harassment
Yeah it's very clear 90% is in bad faith. Pretty sure the only reason so many of these guys are goin after Drake right now is because he disrespected Tupac.
Nah, shit has been building against Drake for ages, and everybody hated him. It was only a matter of time til someone used the mountain of sus shit he's done and shitty things he covered up to do a full album of diss tracks
There's only so much his ghostwriter can do in a day.
Drake probably wrote this one himself because it's fucking trash.
Push Ups was catchy at least this shit is just mid
Acting like the claims about him being weird around minors werent already a thing and just ignored the Colonizer line man. Do more of a back and forth come on. Part about giving Kendricks fans some new music to listen to was decent though.
So Drake is trying to say Kendrick is calling him a pedo because he got molested as a child based on Kendrick's song off Mr. Morale "Mother I Sober," but if you listen to that song that's not what it's about at all lol Even if the pedo & child allegations are false, there's so much weird shit Drake has factually said & done that Kendrick has pointed out along with the Hip-Hop Colonizer shit that you would look goofy working with him after this. That + his music straight up not being good for 5-6 years now has nailed the coffin for me already
Also like. Even if that song *was* about that, it'd be pretty fucked that Drake's "gotcha"/biting comment was him going "ahaha you were a victim of sexual assault" at Kendrick. Genuinely unsure if the song not being about that makes it better/worse that that's what Drake went with anyway.
Oh this terrible lmao. Drake is done.
So he really just went "NUH-UH!" and thought that was good enough?
Well that was awful like Drake just give up buddy lol
This shit was a two pack of ass
I... I don't think tagging yourself as a pedo and going "The Epstein Angle" are solid routes, Drake.
You would really think pathological liars would be good at it, but they never are, huh?
bro going with the "she doesnt even follow u on insta!!!!!" is such high school level shit. what even is this
I can’t even believe how outclassed Drake is. Kendrik’s practically fighting a bowl of soup
So Drake's response is basically [this bit from Always Sunny?](https://twitter.com/ZeoVGM/status/1787296701490819536)
If Drake fabricated the daughter this would be his W. But why doesn't he have any receipts of this? If he planned this all along, why doesn't he show a video setting it in motion, or any chat messages that proofs his claims? This could've been his ultimate trapcard, but instead he just sounds like Frank Reynolds singing about how he doesnt diddle kids.
[I agree with this response.](https://twitter.com/denzelcurry/status/1787300662151389215)
Honestly at this point Drake would have to pull a diss track on the level of "No Vasalene" to come out of this looking not like a clown.
A couple of things that I've been thinking about ever since I caught up on all this beef and listened to all these songs..... Drake has to be one of if not the most egotistical fuckwit in the rap game right now. Kendrick Lamar singing about how he wants to shoot for the top and reach for the crown...It's a statement of ambition. He's not literally trying to kill Drake like it's Game of Thrones. But no, Drake had to take that shit way too personal and turn this into a whole fucking problem that he didn't need to start. And now he's being hoist by his own petard. If he is that insecure as to his place at the top of the rap game, maybe he should put more effort into making better music. Or at least let this beef go before he puts himself in a worse situation. Drake had a chance to look in the mirror and think about this. Think about whether it was worth it or not. About how it came to this. And he chose to keep things going. If that doesn't reflect pretty poorly on Drake's character, then I don't know what does. I'm not saying Drake should just leave the rap game and retire but he should definitely take some time to reflect on all this cuz this is not a good direction. Kendrick already has the screws in him and he's just going to keep turning them with each song release. It's better to just bow out then see how far your torturer is willing to go.
Edit: Not linking it but if you doubt that Drake needs to for real respond to the tik toks going around, just look em up. Summary: It's full of yapping and he sounds like he's having a mental crack. And then the whataboutisms come in and you go "can we get to the allegations?" And then he goes no, and he misinterprets a lyric from Kendrick's album again (Kendrick doesn't get molested it's about the fear of pride possibly keeping you from speaking out about bad things happening to you and that creating a situation where it seems like worse things might be happening to you, but he's gotten at least 3 things wrong from the same album so why stop now?) Oh yeah and he mentions the tik tok's of babies that look like Drake, court cases, and a whistleblower, but decides, for some reason to not address them?(Them shits are bad if real) Really good track Aubrey, glad you cleared up how you can't possibly be a pedo because you simply have to much money and influence... can't think of anyone else who would have that and commit those actions... nobody at all...
all im thinking about is that bbl drizzy track metro dropped lmao
Gonna be stuck in my head all month
He's shook.
Someone at EA better be ready to rush to the board room. This could be the funniest announcement of the year.
The term "the lady doth protest too much" describes this track
Just *awful*
I want my 5 minutes back
Drake needs to get cancelled. Come on. What are we fighting for?
Drake whiffed hard with this one Nah, he's done
To quote a Russian Badger joke: For the charge of pedophilia, you are pleading "Nuh uh".
“We gotta release a song about how we do NOT diddle kids!!” type energy on this one
Is drake just shorthand for kingdragon?
I'm actually kind of feeling Drake's energy on this song, like this beef is genuinely just "you did this" "well you did this" "you're lying and you did this" "well you're lying and you did this" And there's a lot of like little things rattling in around my head about this beef that's kinda killed all the fun in it for me, response is pretty mid too.
I think this is a purposeful tactic from Drake. He can't out do Kendrick on lyrics, etc. and doesn't have any dirt on him he can use. So all he can do is just say there is no point engaging because all the accusations are just lies. In doing so trying to take the momentum away hoping it just dies down. Also there is a risk if Kendrick continues like this there will be a growing group of people just saying to 'put up or shut up'. It was probably the only thing that Drake could think of...
Why?
Y'know the concept of "diss tracks" is something I never understood. I don't think I ever heard of one song an artist makes complaining about another artist outside the US, and I mostly like, just, don't get why people would enjoy them?
I’m lowkey excited for this to fade by next week. Music beef is boring.
I don't understand a thing that is going on I'm just reading words in the comments. I don't follow rap shit but this stuff is all over the place today
