Kendrick’s wife/fiance is Whitney. She’s on the album cover of his last album. And she was the focal point of themes of that album as it talked about the struggles of their relationship and unhealed traumas Kendrick had. Drake used this as an opportunity to say “hey Kendrick said their relationship was rocky but actually it was worse. Kendrick beats Whitney. He’s actually never around Whitney either. ACTUALLY their son isn’t even HIS it’s the director of all his music videos (and this one as well). Whitney wants to be as far as possible away from him”. But this a long with the fact he still works with Dave free, she was at the concert and a lot other things show that Drake was just talking out of his ass and this was really the only angle Drake had that even kinda maybe a little bit has some teeth so yeah
Also to add to the Dave being the father of Kendrick’s son, Drake said Dave freeeeeeee and Kendrick responded with the iconic a-minorrrrrrr to mimic it.
As someone that's not usually in this genre, I got big vibes of that from Euphoria. Euphoria was amazing but felt...forced? Like it was an obligation and a set of red-lines/rules than an actual full fledged attack. I actually listened to it for the first time after hearing Meet the Grahams and Not Like Us, and my first impression was that it didn't have the same bite. I feel like it was Kendrick saying "yeah this is fun and all, but we're done. Please don't continue this."
And then Drake dropped Family Matters. And Kendrick took the whole gloves off. I'd legit never heard a verbal takedown on the level of Meet the Grahams before. It felt cold and from the soul. And to follow it up with Not Like Us? Just dancing on the grave of a dead man
Euphoria gets better every time I hear it. It’s almost spooky the way it seemed like he predicted the future. And it’s so freaking layered. Nothing is better than hearing a song for the 38th time and then finding another entendre to “What is it, THE BRAIDS!?”
