“Household Issues” was barely up for half an hour earlier than Kendrick fired again with “Meet the Grahams.” It could seem that Drake walked himself into one other entice not in contrast to the one Pusha T set for him six years in the past: baiting him to drop a diss that will justify a nuclear response that made going at household honest sport. It appears protected to imagine that Kendrick already had this monitor able to go properly upfront—maybe not because of some mysterious OVO mole, however as a result of, as he says within the opening traces of “Euphoria,” he may predict the angle Drake would take and deliberate accordingly.
It is all half of a bigger technique; the “Meet the Grahams” art work is the total image that Kendrick teased earlier on “6.16 in LA.” It reveals those self same pair of Maybach gloves together with a shirt, receipts and prescription bottles, together with one for Ozempic prescribed to Drake.
So to recap, on “Household Issues,” Drake accused Kendrick of: rampant infidelity, being too occupied with dwelling as a bachelor in New York to spend time and even publish photos together with his household, and placing arms on the mom of his youngsters, who might solely be the mom to certainly one of his youngsters as a result of the opposite was fathered by his shut buddy.
And in some way Kendrick manages to go 10 occasions darker, out spooky-ing Mr. Scary Hours with a bone-chilling, whispery supply over a sinister beat courtesy of The Alchemist (who allegedly did not realize he was scoring a Drake diss monitor) on a track addressed to all of the members of Drake’s household: his son Adonis, his mom Sandi, his father Dennis and… an alleged 11-year-old daughter. Cue up the George Bush memes: to listen to Kendrick inform it, there’s a second hidden little one.
Rap followers who had been rising impatient that Drake and Kendrick have been merely jabbing and never letting haymakers fly can relaxation simple. Kendrick takes it to the Level of No Return, musing that he needs Dennis Graham wore a condom the night time Drake was conceived and telling each Drake’s mother and father they raised a person whose home is because of be raided any day now on Harvey Weinsten-level allegations. Kendrick alleges Drake retains the corporate of sex offenders (the identical shooter Weeknd sang about on Future’s album), and their mutual well-known mates like LeBron or Steph Curry would do properly to avoid him earlier than all of it comes tumbling down.
And that every one comes earlier than the third verse devoted to this heretofore unknown daughter, and the ultimate verse that is addressed to Drake himself, taking him to activity as a deadbeat man-child. Think about Pusha T’s earlier Drake disses like “Exodus 23:1” or “Adidon,” solely delivered straightforwardly with the maniacal glee toned all the best way down and the emphasis on chopping, private assaults turned all the best way up. Pusha might have dropped blackhearted traces like “Ask Steve Jobs: wealth do not buy well being,” however that is not fairly the identical as Kendrick straight up telling Drake “he ought to die,” after accusing him of being a predator on par with the likes of R. Kelly. (Some followers have been calling hypocrisy in Kendrick taking this stance however that includes Kodak Black, who has intercourse offender allegations of his personal, prominently on his final album.)
Issues are getting very ugly on each side; it is unclear the way it will progress (or slightly, devolve) from right here. At press time, Drake has taken to Instagram to handle solely the declare that he has a second little one, posting an image of himself with the caption “can somebody discover my hidden daughter and ship her to me pls…these guys are in shambles.”
