Following Kendrick Lamar‘s release of ”Not Like Us” on Saturday, Drake swiftly responds with his own diss track, “The Heart Pt. 6.”
In a clever nod to Kendrick’s previous diss, Drake aptly chose to dub his latest diss “The Heart Pt. 6.” Kendrick, who had previously named his diss track “6:16 in LA,” borrowed from Drake’s signature style of titling tracks with timestamps in various cities. Notably, Kendrick Lamar has gained renown for his ongoing “The Heart” series, releasing “The Heart Pt. 5” back in 2022.
The Heart Part 6 out now
— Drizzy (@Drake) May 6, 2024
And we know you’re dropping 6 mins after so instead of posting my address you have a lot to addresshttps://t.co/hL9tOiuuhh
In his latest diss, Drake unveils revelations about Kendrick being misled regarding Drake’s alleged daughter on “Meet the Grahams.”
“You waited for this momеnt, overcome with the desperation / We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it / We thought about giving a fake name or a destination / But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” he raps.
He continued with, “You gotta learn to fact check things and be less impatient / Your fans are rejoicing thinkin’ this is my expiration / Even the picture you used, the jokes and the medication / The Maybach glove and the drug he uses for less inflation / Master manipulator, you bid on the speculation.”
Drake also doubles down that Dave Free fathered one of Kendrick’s children and questions why Kendrick hasn’t seen his children in six months.
“And why isn’t Whitney denying 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,” he raps.

Drake’s mother, Sandra:
“Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.”
“Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n—-s like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they life/ And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/Fuck a rap battle, he should die, so all of these women can live with a purpose.”
Drake’s father, Dennis:
“You raised a horrible fuckin’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis”
