Kendrick Lamar’s Four Damning Claims About Drake in ‘Euphoria’

Kendrick Lamar waited over two weeks to unveil his highly anticipated track, “Euphoria,” a response to Drake’s “Push Ups” and AI-assisted “Taylor Made Freestyle.”  Lamar made sure fans knew his record was legit and not created using artificial intelligence, releasing it on streaming platforms and his YouTube channel. In reply to Aubrey, Lamar made several damning claims about his on-again, off-again pal. While the six-minute, 23-second song is packed with lyrical vitriol, we’ve narrowed down our top four lines that likely sent Drizzy eager to issue another diss.

Kendrick Lamar accused Drake of making up lies about his life

“How many more fairytale stories ’bout your life ’til we had enough/ How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you Black enough/ I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he act tough.”

If you recall, Drizzy has frequently commented on his “Mob Ties” and affiliations with figures such as J. Prince. 

Kendrick Lamar accused Drake of sending a cease and desist after “Like That” was released

“You was signed to a n***a that’s signed to a n***a that said he was signed to that n***a/ Try cease and desist on the ‘Like That’ record/ Oh, what? You ain’t like that record?”

Drake allegedly had his label, Republic Records, send an email to Future’s label, Epic Records, demanding that the track “Like That” featuring Lamar not be played on the radio. 

WOW: Leaked email shows legal correspondents from Republic Records (Drake’s label) trying to block ‘Like That’ from getting radio play 🤯

The email was sent to Epic Records (Future’s label) saying: “We are not granting radio rights for ‘Like That’…Epic does not have the right… pic.twitter.com/iaPMM4BNo1

Kendrick Lamar accused Drake of being a deadbeat dad

“Y’all think all of my life is rap/ That’s h** s**t, I got a son to raise, but I can see you know nothing ’bout that.”

This bar took aim at Drake’s parenting skills with his son, Adonis, whom he shares with Sophie Brussaux.  Pusha T previously revealed that Drake had a son during his 2018 “The Story of Adidon,” which seemingly forced the rapper to confirm the news. 

Kendrick Lamar claimed Drake had ab etching surgery

“Yeah, my first one like my last one, it’s a classic, you don’t have one/ Let your core audience stomach that/ Didn’t tell ’em where you get your abs from.”

Lamar is not the only rapper who has accused Drake of having cosmetic surgery. Rick Ross has referred to him as “BBL Drizzy.” He has never confirmed nor denied the story.
