Drake’s latest album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, has finally dropped, and listeners are already dissecting it for any references to his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
On one track, Drake directly addresses Kendrick’s diss song, “Not Like Us”, which has caused quite a stir.
This song, which played a significant role in Kendrick winning five Grammy Awards earlier this month, is the same track that led to Drake suing Universal Music Group over false claims that he’s a pedophile.
The song also featured Kendrick’s controversial “a minor” line, which he performed during his Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.
On $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, Drake appears to brush it all off in the song “Celibacy.” He sings, “We got a lot of things to discuss/Like these men you know you can’t trust/Or these girls that just don’t give me enough/Fck, I guess it’s up and it’s stuck/We’re not like them, baby, and they’re not like us, either one.”
This appears to be a direct response to Kendrick’s earlier lines, adding more fuel to their ongoing rap feud.
Drake also makes a more laid-back reference to the beef in “Gimme A Hug,” where he raps, “Fck all rap beef, I’m trying to get the party lit.”*
The album has sparked big reactions online, with many fans weighing in on Drake’s latest moves. Kai Cenat even streamed it live and got emotional over the track “Deeper.”
It’s clear that $ome $exy $ongs 4 U is making waves across the rap scene, and the drama with Kendrick Lamar continues to be a hot topic.
