Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef is still salty, with the Canadian star hitting back at the recent diss track.
The ongoing drama between the music stars has escalated once again, as the Hotline Bling singer released a new song, The Heart Part 6, overnight on Sunday (May 5).
The celebrity duo have been throwing insults at each other this past week. Kendrick Lamar called Drake a ‘certified pedophile’ in his third diss trick Not Like Us the day before.
He alleged the star had been pursuing underage women and urged men to hide their younger sisters from the rapper.

Kendrick Lamar says in his diss track: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young. You better not ever go to cell block one”.
He mocked the title of Drake’s album, Certified Lover Boy as he said: “Certified Lover Boy? Certified Pedophiles”.
The artwork for the diss track features an aerial shot of Drake’s mansion with sex offender targets laid on top, as a further dig from Kendrick Lamar.
There has been no evidence to support the allegations in the track, but rappers in the past have made false claims and tried to insult and humiliate rivals.
Drake has not hit back at the harmful allegations in his own song, a five-minute response which includes Aretha Franklin vocals.
The 37-year-old sings the rapper was spreading fake claims by ‘misdirecting s****’ and said he was ‘too famous’ to get away with serious allegations.
He rapped: “I never been with no underage but now I understand why this is the angle that you really mess with.
“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*** you just suggested”.

He added: “Drake is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list.
“This Epstein angle was the s*** I expected, TikTok videos you collected and dissected, instead of being on some diss-direct s***.
“You rather f***ing grab your pen and misdirect s***”, referencing Jeffrey Epstein.
“That’s why these pedophile raps is s*** you so obsessed with, it’s so excessive”.
But Drake took his own diss track further, alleging Kendrick Lamar’s fiance, Whitney Alford was being pursued by a record label.
For his artwork, he used a screenshot of an Instagram account by the label, Dave Free, underneath a photo she shared on her Instagram smiling with her two children.
Drake rapped: “And why isn’t Whitney denyin’ all of the allegations? Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr Morale?”
“You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild. Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child”.
