At midnight, the highly-anticipated moment arrived asTravis Scottreleased his fourth studio album, Utopia.
One of the standout tracks, “Meltdown,” featuring none other than Drake, set the world ablaze. Over production handled by Boi-1da, Coleman, BNYX, Vinylz, and Tay Keith, Drake aimed shots at fellow artists, Virginia natives Pusha T and Pharrell.
“Man, f**k all that spinning the narrative shit/I melt down the chains that I bought from your boss,” Drake raps. “Give a f**k about all of that heritage shit/Since V not around the members done hung up the Louis/They not even wearing that shit.”
Drake acquired Pharrell’s jewelry collection, valued at $3.3 million, through an exclusive auction hosted by Pharrell himself. The collection featured Pharrell’s notable skateboard pendant and a 14K three-tone N.E.R.D pendant chain in which Drake was seen sporting the pieces in the ‘Jumbotron Shit Poppin‘ visual taken from his Her Loss project with 21 Savage.
Promoting his latest collaboration with Travis Scott, Drake took to Instagram Stories to showcase 2Pac‘s ring, which he recently acquired for $1 million. Sotheby‘s, the auction house responsible for selling the ring, had originally estimated its value to be between $200,000 and $300,000. However, the final sale price surpassed all expectations, making it the most valuable hip-hop artifact ever sold.
This historic ring holds immense significance as it was worn by Tupac Shakur during his final public appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 4, 1996.
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.

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.
The saga continues as Kendrick has unleashed yet another scathing diss track titled “Not Like Us.” Over Mustard‘s production, Lamar continues to confront Drake, exposing allegations of underage relationships, entanglements with Lil Wayne’s girlfriend, and much more.
The cover art for the single shows Drake’s Toronto mansion with markers typically reserved for identifying sex offenders.
“Say Drake I hear you like em young, to any b*tch that talk to em and they in love, make sure you hide your little sister from em,” Kendrick spits.
On the latest diss track, Kendrick is extremely direct, bringing up Drake’s mother, father, and son. He also reveals that Drake is hiding another child, a baby girl, and doubles down on claims that Drake is dating underage girls.
On Drake’s alleged second child:
“I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale.”
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”
