The Shooting at Drake’s Property Follows a High Profile Rap Beef
The recent shooting incident in Drake’s neighborhood has caught attention amidst the 37-year-old rapper making headlines. Drake has been embroiled in a highly publicized and contentious feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. It’s been marked by a series of diss tracks spanning several weeks.
The verbal battle escalated in March, with Lamar launching “Like That,” a sharp retort to Drake and J. Cole’s “First Person Shooter.” While J. Cole swiftly exited the escalating conflict. However, Lamar and Drake have continuously engaged in a lyrical showdown, captivating rap enthusiasts with their exchanges ever since.
This past weekend, the rivalry between the rappers intensified as they released four new diss tracks aimed at each other. These tracks aired dirty laundry in melody, mixing personal and family secrets with a dash of controversial allegations.
Lamar and Drake have also reportedly removed copyright restrictions from their diss tracks, as their verbal rap battle takes over social media.
On May 5, social media influencer FaZe YourRage announced on X, previously known as Twitter, that the restrictions on covering this rap feud had been removed.
“Kendrick removed all copyright away from all my reactions to his diss tracks & is [letting] me get paid for all of em,” YourRage tweeted. “No label has ever done that for me so I’m thankful.”
On May 5, YourRage revealed that the gesture was returned by the other side of the conflict. “My Drake Reactions Are now also uncopyrighted,” he revealed. “WE EATING.”
