Drake denies grooming, ‘secret child’ allegations in tense Kendrick Lamar feud
Global News
The seemingly endless rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, explained.
Rap fans were on the edge of their seats this weekend as two of the genre’s biggest stars continued to provoke one another with allegations of pedophilia, domestic abuse, infidelity and harbouring secret children.
The latest instalment of the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar saw the Toronto-born artist release his fourth diss track against Lamar, entitled The Heart Part 6, on Sunday.
The moody track is over five minutes long and attempts to dispute several claims made by Lamar, 36, in his earlier raps targeting Drake, 37. Much of the response sees Drake deny grooming underage girls for sex, an allegation that has followed the rapper for years now.
Drake called Lamar’s claims that he is a pedophile “the s—t I expected.”
“I never been with no one underage, but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with,” Drake raps. “Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was f—ing young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s—t you just suggested.”
In the song, Drake addresses his controversial friendship with Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown, who was 14 years old when she met the rapper. In 2018, Brown (now 20) said she and Drake texted often and that he regularly offered her career and life advice.
“Millie Bobby Browns, I’d never look twice at no teenager,” Drake defends himself in the new diss track.
(Rap beef aside, Drake has never been formally accused of pedophilia.)
