Metro Boomin and Future dropped We Don’t Trust You on Friday, March 22, 2024, about a month and a half ago. Kendrick Lamar Drake and J. Cole on the song Like That.”
Many fans even noticed the title songs of Metro’s album contradicted the ones of Drake’s last album.
Kendrick references Drake’s latest album “For All the Dogs.” “First Person Shooter” which features J. Cole.
Cole rapped, “Love when they argue the hardest MC/ Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/We the big three like we started a league.” Cole was rapping, referring to Kendrick’s nickname, “K-Dot”, and Drake’s real name Aubrey.
Kendrick went on to fire shots at the “Big Three.” “Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Mother(censored) big 3, censored), it’s just big me,” he spat. Kendrick went on to aim for Drake “Fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/ That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”
The song peaked on No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 but is now No.8 as of today.
““Aside from the song being an absolute banger, I was shocked when Kendrick called out “First Person Shooter” and the “big three” line in the song. I think his features on songs are always so good and make them better. It’s funny how Kendrick hasn’t really released any music of his own since his last album but dropped 4 songs in the past few days because of the beef. But I’m not complaining!”

Not long after this diss track, he apologized to Kendrick at the Dreamville Festival in North Carolina on April 7, “I’m so proud of that project, except for one part. It’s one part of that (censored) makes me feel like, man, that’s the lamest (censored) I ever did in my (censored) life right? And I know this is not what a lot of people want to hear.”
He went on to explain that for the first time, he was being tested because the world was waiting for him to reply back and ask him what he was going to do. He was conflicted and knew how he felt about his peers, but the world wanted to see blood.
Cole later removed “7 Minute Drill” from all streaming services. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at 6.
Not long after this Metro and Future dropped another album “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU,” on April 12. The very next day “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50),” came out. At first, people thought it was AI-generated, but it was confirmed it was Drakes officially released on April 19.

April 30th, Kendrick dropped “euphoria” firing back at Drake’s “Push ups.”
Kendrick raps about being Drake’s biggest haters. he even mentions how Drake has had plastic surgery and even goes on to mock his Toronto slang.

Not long after, on May 3, Kendrick also dropped “6:16 in LA” on Instagram. Fans were going wild on social media. They realized it was a entendre with more than one meaning. One being Tupac’s birthday which was 6/16, Canadian Father’s Day, and even when “”Euphoria (2019)” released.
Later that day Drake responded back to Kendrick with “Family Matters” not even an hour after this was released Kendrick dropped “Meet the Grahams.” In both rappers disses they mention each others families.
Drake claimed that Lamar had beat his fiancée, Whitney Alford.
When asked about her opinion on who won the rap beef after “Meet the Graham,” Paige Torres says,”Kendrick definitely won, Drake dropped a diss and not even 16 minutes later Kendrick dropped “Meet the Grahams.” Kendrick spilled all Drakes secrets and info in one song, how are you going to come back from a diss that starts off addressing your son?”
Kendrick striked again dropping yet another diss track “Not Like Us.” Fans realized not only was the album cover of Drake’s house, but ti was on a predator app with pins of members of OVO. OVO is a Canadian record label founded by Drake. Members include Drake himself, PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordon, Ray Woods, Dvsn and others.
““Kendrick is better than Drake. Drake has a lot of pedophile allegations which Kendrick mentioned on “Not Like Us.” I love Kendrick so much and he was able to drop 3 disses in one week.”

This was posted May 4th on Twitter.
On May 5th Drake responded to both of Kendrick’s disses with “The Heart Part 6.” The title of the track is referencing Lamar’s track, “The Heart Part 5” from his 2022 album “Mr.Morale & The Big Steppers.”
It did not surprise people that he did not address any pedophile allegations but instead only mentions not having an 11 year old daughter. In he goes on to explain how he planted a fake mole in OVO to feed Kendrick Lamar false information.
In “The Heart Part 6,” he mentions Millie Bobby Brown and how he has never looked at a teenager. He was friends with when she was only 14. However, Lamar never mentioned her in any of disses towards Drake.
Not many were expecting rappers to have beef this year in general. Many students in SHJS think that Kendrick has prevailed over Drake. However there is still more to come with how many allegations both rappers have been throwing at each other.
