The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues. The Canadian rapper responded to Lamar with the song ‘The Heart Part 6,’ which references the Pulitzer Prize winner’s ongoing series of singles.

“And we know you’re going to fall 6 minutes later, so instead of posting my address you have a lot to address,” the Canadian wrote on his Instagram account.

Drake’s song responds to the two singles Lamar released over the weekend, Friday’s ‘Meet the Grahams’ and Saturday’s ‘Not Like Us’.

What does Drake’s new song say?

In the two pieces that Lamar published, rapper addresses ‘God’s Plan’ singer’s family directlyjust as he referred to his record label partners: OVO (October’s Very Own).

In this new song, Drake admits that he may have provided false information for Lamar to use in his songs:

It reads in the verse: (The one’s that you’re getting your stories from, they’re all clowns/“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information/A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it”)

Spanish translation: “The people you get your stories from, they’re all clowns/We conspired for a week and then we gave you the information/An 11 year old daughter, I bet she takes it.”

In addition to that, the Canadian disassociates himself from the accusation of having been with a minor and expresses that Lamar’s songs are the product of his own trauma.

Before this song, Drake released ‘Family Matters’, a song that replicates what the American rapper says in his two pieces ‘Euphoria’ and ‘“6:16 in LA’.

The conflict began in March when the ‘Money Trees’ musician premiered the piece ‘Like That’.

In the beef that is viral on social networks, Kendrick Lamar has been characterized by the speed of his responses. In a span of 36 hours he released three songs dedicated to Drake.

Behind the pieces there are strong accusations. In ‘Like That’ he criticizes the record label and reads phrases like:

“Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me? / Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person.”

In Spanish: “Did you ever think OVO was working for me? / Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person.”

After Drake’s track, Lamar is likely to respond again due to the American’s track record.
