DRAKE RESPONDS TO KENDRICK LAMAR’S CLAIM THAT HE HAS A SECRET DAUGHTER

Drake has been accused of hiding a daughter from the public on Kendrick Lamar‘s latest diss track, and he has now shared a partial response.

On Friday (May 3), K.Dot released “meet the grahams” in response to his adversary’s “Family Matters.” On the joint, he claims that Drizzy has a daughter who he abandoned, while addressing her directly.

Dear baby girl/ I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world/ He don’t commit to much but his music, yeah, that’s for sure/ He a narcissist, misogynist, livin’ inside his songs/ Try destroying families rather than takin’ care of his own/ Should be teachin’ you time tables or watchin’ ‘Frozen’ with you/ Or at your eleventh birthday, singin’ poems with you,” he raps.

While no evidence of this being true has been presented thus far, a number of fans have pointed to a 2012 tweet by the Canadian superstar that simply reads “Baby girl.” The reason this post is receiving a lot of attention is because its date matches his alleged daughter’s age as described in the Compton MC’s new song.

Other observers noted, however, that the tweet was posted on what would have been Aaliyah’s 33rd birthday, and Drizzy has long been a devoted fan of the late singer, whose nickname was “Baby Girl.”

The 6 God seems unfazed by the allegation, as he took to his Instagram Story soon after the cut went live and shared an image of himself looking unimpressed and bored.

“[four laughing emojis] nahhhh hold on,” he wrote beneath it. “can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send her to me…these guys are in shambles [three laughing emojis.]”

 

Back in 2018, Drake was involved in a beef with Pusha T that prompted a similar claim about a son — a claim that turned out to be true.

The Toronto native had a child named Adonis with former French model Sophie Brussaux in late 2017, but this information remained concealed until the Clipse MC made it public on “Story Of Adidon” a year later.

You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/ Deadbeat mothafucka playin’ border patrol, ooh/ Adonis is your son/ And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real/ Love that baby, respect that girl/ Forget she’s a pornstar, let her be your world,” Push rapped on the track.

A month after the song went viral, the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker confirmed the rumor on his Scorpion LP.

I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe/ That shit is in stone, sealed and signed/ She not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine,” he admits on the B Side’s final song, “March 14.”

Single father, I hate when I hear it/I used to challenge my parents on every album/ Now, I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent/ Always promised a family unit/ I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it/ But this is the harsh truth now.”

He also addresses his decision not to publicize the kid’s birth on the song “Emotionless” with the bars: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world/ I was hiding the world from my kid.”

LUPE FIASCO ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 'SAMURAI' WITH SOULFUL FIRST SINGLE

image

Lupe Fiasco has announced his new album Samurai and shared the first single from the project.

On Friday (May 17), the Chicago rapper revealed his ninth studio album will be released on June 28. Samurai will include eight tracks and is produced entirely by longtime collaborator Soundtrakk.

The producer is best known for being behind some of Lupe’s biggest tracks, including “Kick, Push,” “Superstar” and “Hip Hop Saved My Life.”

To go with the announcement, Lupe Fiasco dropped the title track “Samurai” alongside a music video, which finds Lupe rapping around his hometown.

Shedding light on his latest offering, Lupe Fiasco described Samurai as one of the most personal albums of his career so far.

“I sometimes get tagged by my fans as not doing personal records,” he said, per Season of Mist. “But I always tell people there’s me in there if you listen closely enough. This album is one of my more personal records to date.

“It’s not a full biography, but my personal experiences are tied up in all of my music. A lot of the records are me. Some are from the POV of a character. and some are me. The album weaves things from my life as an artist, touching on things other artists go through.”

Lupe Fiasco also spoke about making Samurai with Soundtrakk and his manager Charles “Chilly” Patton, who was released from prison last year after spending 16 years behind bars, while explaining the meaning behind the title.

“It felt great to be back in the studio again as a family,” he said. “The word ‘samurai’ means to serve. My relationship to that word has always meant that you need to be at the service of other people, either in the overall community, or in this instance, the rap community at large that I’ve been a part of for years.

“You have some duty, some purpose to serve. The title alone is very important to me. Before rap even, martial arts was my whole life, and it still plays a huge role in my life. The album is me, but also inspired by a quote I heard from one of my favorite artists.”

He added: “The overall themes of the album speak to the constant fight and the battle one goes through being in the entertainment industry. Some of the things we need to defend.”

Samurai serves as the follow-up to 2022’s Drill Music in Zion, which was also produced Soundtrakk along with Lupe himself.

Check out the tracklist below.

1. Samurai
2. Mumble Rap
3. Cake
