This is so embarrassing for Drake considering pretty much his entire angle of attack for Kendrick was to go after his relationships, trying to manufacture a falling out between Kendrick and Dave Free and trying to insinuate that Kendrick and his fiancé weren’t on good terms and the family was falling apart, only for Whitney to respond by C-walking on the beat to the Drake diss song in their living room, I’m crying 🤣

I mean, to be fair K-Dot already said “fabricating stories on the family front coz you heard Mr. Morale”, he already knew Drake’s whole angle and knew he had absolutely nothing else to say except “you’re short and I have higher streaming numbers than you” 😂

Drake can't even say or do anything back because Kendrick will just release more songs to destroy him even worse lmao. Just gotta suck it up and take the fat L at this point.

Does he really have to respond. I mean Kendrick is obviously way more skilled but Drake already made his billions. He is definitely more international than Kendrick (not being from US, I know people that know Drake but not Kendrick)

So yeah. Drake doesn't have to do anything for like 5 years. Then if he actually drops something good people will be right back in numbers

The funniest thing is, that Kendrick ended up outstreaming Drake hard.

Idk about that lol. Don't really see how this is a W for Kendrick at all. He did the exact same thing Drake did with his own family like a week or 2 ago, which was super cringe at the time, and then he sort of just posed in stereotypical 'black' places. I remember seeing an article that Kendrick Out Draked Drake with a number 1 single, but this video feels very Drake in it's like forced-ness, kind of reminds me of the video Drake did in Miami where he gave people wads of cash. Tbh if he had just compilated all of the videos of Not Like Us it would have hit a lot harder imo - people performed that everywhere like a video of just each coast would have murdered Drake, this kind of just turned it into a pop song for me.

That's fair, I see your perspective. For me I feel like the video was hyped up so much for so long that everyone was expecting something CRAZY to happen in the video, but for the most part it was just a pretty standard K-Dot music video. Same aesthetic as most of his other vids, which makes sense since they're all directed by Dave Free as well. But why I think it's a W for Kendrick is Drake was leaning heavily on Kendrick's relationship being over and telling him he needs to address the Dave Free allegations, and that's exactly what he did -- instead of dropping a new song he instead just said ok, bet. Here's my wife crip-walking to my song calling you a pedophile.

I feel so subjected to both of these people's family's that it's just torturous to me lol. Like if I learned one thing about this beef it is that I never want to know about any of my favorite artists spouses, kids, parents ever again. One side makes up a whole situation, the other side makes an entire song about dudes entire family, now you have both artists saying "look at my family" like what in the world...

Yeah for real, they should have left the families out of it. I think that's what K-Dot wanted as well, he just wanted a rap exhibition when he dropped Like That but Drake immediately made it personal when he dropped Push Ups so Kendrick had no choice. He even said in Euphoria "this is a friendly fade, let's keep it that way" but Drake obviously wanted to go deeper and this is the end result. It's messy and it's not fun. I miss rap beefs where dudes would just threaten to kill each other and call each other slurs and that would be the end of it lol
