In a well-documented feud between two of hip-hop's biggest stars, Kendrick Lamar and Drake have taken shots at each other through a series of diss tracks. It all started when Kendrick Lamar retaliated against Drake's "Family Matters" with his own track titled "Meet the Grahams" [1]. Lamar's track accused Drake of hiding his daughter and discussed intimate details about Drake's life [2]. Soon after, Drake fired back with his own diss track called "Family Matters," in which he responded to Lamar's allegations [3]. The beef intensified as Lamar released a second diss track titled "6/16 in LA" just days after the initial exchange [4].

Lamar's diss tracks not only targeted Drake personally but also brought attention to the use of samples and production elements in his songs, attracting reactions and analysis from fans and music critics [5]. The feud between the two artists led to speculation about the deeper meanings behind the diss tracks and the potential impact on their careers [6]. Despite the intense back-and-forth, some figures in the music industry commented on the feud, with Dame Dash weighing in on who appeared to be winning the battle [7].

As the feud continued to escalate, Toronto restaurant Ho King received a boost in popularity after being mentioned in one of Lamar's tracks, drawing attention to the power of hip-hop lyrics and the influence of these high-profile artists [8]. The diss tracks and ensuing drama between Lamar and Drake captivated fans and industry observers, shining a spotlight on the competitive nature of the rap scene and setting the stage for what some described as one of the genre's next great feuds [9].
