"You mentioned my seed now deal with his dad," begins the Toronto native, "I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad."

During his seven-minute track, Drake took several jabs at the foe, referring to Lamar's relationship with fiancee Whitney Alford.

"Say you hate the girls I fuck but what you really mean / I been with Black and white and everything in between / You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen / And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem," he dissed.

The tension escalated when One Dance maker addressed Lamar's previous mention of children on his track Euphoria.

"Why you never hold your son and tell him say cheese / We could have left the kids out of this don’t blame me," he states.

"Kendrick just opened his mouth / Someone go hand him a Grammy right now / Where is your Uncle at / Cause I wanna talk to the man of the house,” Drake, 37, added fuel to the fire.

He also brought up the cease and desist letter from Tupac Shakur's estate over his use of AI to create new vocals from the late rapper on Taylor Made Freestyle.

Drake suggested that Lamar was behind the estate's response to his song.

In Family Matters, the rapper believed that Lamar was the one who triggered the estate to fire back at Drake, who removed the song from social media shortly after they threatened to sue him.

The back-and-forth between the two artists shows no signs of cooling down, with each new track adding more intensity to their feud.
