The ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has drawn significant attention to the hip-hop scene.
In a surprising twist, the conflict between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has escalated, with Lamar accusing Drake of concealing his daughter from the public eye for over a decade.
Drake was quick to deny this.
Lamar Hints Drake is a Neglectful Father to a Secret Daughter
In "Meet the Grahams," Lamar not only hints of an alleged daughter directly but addresses the supposed child, conveying empathy for her in light of her alleged father's absence.
"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 continues by rapping, "Or at your eleventh birthday, singin' poems with you / Instead, he be in Turks, payin' for sex and poppin' Percs / Examples that you don't deserve."
The lyrics depict Drake as an absentee father, portraying him as prioritizing his career over potential parental responsibilities.
Drake's paternity has been a topic of rap feuds before.

In 2018, Pusha T made headlines when he revealed Drake's son, Adonis, in the song "The Story of Adidon."
Drake Says Allegations are Fabricated
Although Drake eventually confirmed his paternity in 2020, Lamar's recent accusations have added another layer of complexity to Drake's personal life. The problem is, the origins of Lamar's allegation remain veiled in mystery, leaving questions about its credibility and source.
A source close to Drake swiftly refuted the accusations, labeling them "utter fabrication" in a statement to TMZ on Saturday.
Drake responded promptly via his Instagram story, adopting a tone that mixed humor with defiance. He quipped, "nahhhh hold on can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send her to me... these guys are in shambles," accompanied by a string of laughing emojis.
This lighthearted response suggests Drake may be aiming to diminish the gravity of the accusation and convey confidence in refuting it.
Notably, both Drake and Lamar initially intended to keep their families out of their feud. However, it's apparent that boundaries were crossed, with both artists delivering harsh blows aimed at each other's loved ones.
In Drake's diss track, "Family Matters," Lamar is accused of domestic violence and infidelity, while Lamar retaliates by casting doubt on Drake's parenting and even referencing his deceased mother.
The rap feud is nowhere close to being over.
Drake a Pedophile?
After Drake denied having a secret daughter, and less than 24 hours after releasing "Meet the Grahams," Lamar released another diss track calling Drake a "pedophile."
A new song called "Not Like Us" by the 17-time Grammy winner was released where he doesn't hold back. He uses a variety of approaches in the song to imply that Drake has engaged in improper activity with youngsters, finally calling him directly as a pedophile.
The cover art sets the tone, featuring Drake's residence adorned with sex offender beacons.
The implication is evident right from the start before Kendrick delves deeper into his criticism of the rapper.
Kendrick alleges that he's heard rumors about Drake's preference for younger women, cautioning those associated with him to shield their younger siblings from his company.
