Drake Claims Kendrick Lamar Beat His Wife on New Diss Track “Family Matters”

Just like on “Push Ups,” Drake took plenty of shots at The Weeknd, this time calling him a drug addict:

Weeknd music getting played in the spots where boys got a little more pride
That’s why all your friends dipping to Atlanta paying to just find a tour guide
Abel run your fucking bread need to buy some more chains for some more guys
Lemme find another street nigga I can take to the game, courtside
Let me get a used Ferrari for a rapper take the n***a on a horse ride
Anything to take the spotlight off the fact the boss is a drugged out little punk sissy from the northside

Rocky, The Weeknd, and Kendrick aren’t the only people Drake responded to. He also had choice words for Future and Metro Boomin, as he dismissed their recent albums:

Pluto shit make me sick to my stomach, we ain’t never really been through it
Leland Wayne, he a fucking lame, so I know he had to be a influence’
These niggas had a plan and they finally found a way to rope their way into it
Two seperate albums dissing I just did a Kim to it nigga skim through it

Drake also took time to respond to former collaborator Rick Ross, who has relentlessly trolled Drake on social media and on the song “Champagne Moments,” by rapping:

What the fuck I heard Rick drop n***a
Talking something ’bout a nose job n***a
Ozempic got a side effect of jealousy and doctors never told ya’ll n***s
Put a n***a in the bars let a nigga rot kind of like your old job

Mere hours after “Euphoria” arrived on the last day of April, Drake’s fellow Young Money alum Nicki Minaj brought him out as a special guest at her Pink Friday 2 World Tour show at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. At one point in the evening, Drake hinted he was about to get to work on his Kendrick response, telling the crowd, “You know what time it is, you know what I gotta do.”

Speculation was expectedly high ahead of the new track’s release, with fans and fellow artists alike debating who currently had the upper hand in the “Like That“-kickstarted rap war. Cam’ron and Mase both said that Drake was “winning” the back-and-forth after the “Euphoria” rollout, though the It Is What It Is co-hosts also had kind words for Kendrick’s lyricism.

In April, prior to the latest pair of diss tracks, Complex’s Jordan Rose ranked the then-current batch of 2024 rap war entries, including Rick Ross’ “Champagne Moments” and Ye’s “Like That” remix. The latter, memorably, saw Ye proposing that one should put on J. Cole’s music to “get the pussy dry.“
