Quick to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s recent claims amid their rap beef, Drake reveals whether or not he has a secret child.
In a post on his Instagram Story, the Canadian rapper quickly cleared the air and said he doesn’t have a hidden daughter. “Nahhh hold on,” he declared with multiple cry-laughing emojis. “Can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send them to me… These guys are in shambles.”
The response came just minutes after Lamar dropped his song Meet the Grahams, which references Drake’s legal last name. In the diss track, Lamar directs his words to Drake’s family, including his 6-year-old son Adonis, and his mother, Sandi Graham. At one point, Lamar sings about a “baby girl” who doesn’t have an active father.
“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,” Lamar sings. “He a narcissist, misogynist, livin’ inside his songs/ Try destroy families rather than takin’ care of his own.”
Lamar reassured the “baby girl” by singing, “But I would like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hidin’ another child… I’ll tell you who your father is, just play this song when it rains/ Yes, he’s a hitmaker, songwriter, superstar, right/ And a f—in’ deadbeat that should never say ‘more life.’”
The “more life” remark is referring to Drake’s 2017 single More Life.
Drake was previously accused of “hiding” his son, Adonis, by Pusha T. He welcomed Adonis with former porn star Sophie Brussaux. Pusha T rapped about the situation in the song The Story of Adidon in 2018.
Drake posted about his son for the first time in 2020.
Drake Also Releases Diss Track About Kendrick Lamar
In a back-and-forth situation, Drake also releases a diss track about Kendrick Lamar. In his song, Family Matters, he accuses Kendrick of abusing his fiancée Whitney Alford as well as sleeping with other women and being a fake activist.
“When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense ‘cause she bigger than you?” Drake asks in the song. “There’s nowhere to hide, there’s nowhere to hide, you know what I mean/ They hire a crisis management to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen/ The picture you painted ain’t what it seems, you’re dead.”
According to a timeline by TODAY, Drake and Kendrick began in 2013. Lamar called out the Degrassi alum and 11 other rappers by name when he appeared as a guest on Big Sean’s song Control.
After the track was released, Drake initially shrugged off Lamar’s remarks by saying the namecheck didn’t get to him. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was,” Drake said. “I know good and well that (Lamar)’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform.”
The two have continued their long-running conflict over the years through their music.
