Drake dropped his latest diss track against Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar late Sunday night, adding more fire to their ongoing feud.
In the track “The Heart Part 6,” Drake denies Lamar’s previous accusation that the Toronto rapper had sex with teenage girls and is part of a sex trafficking ring through his OVO Sound record label.
But that’s not the only alarming allegation stemming from their ongoing feud. The two rappers have accused each other of a wide and wild range of insults and behavior, spanning from fake abs and shoe size to violence against women.

The Lamar v. Drake beef reached a boiling point this spring when Lamar, who fans already suspected had ongoing tension with Drake, tried to distance himself from Drake and J. Cole, claiming in a song that there was no “Big Three — it’s just big me,” he rapped on “Like That.”
Cole then dropped a now-deleted diss track called “7 Minute Drill” on April 5, going after Lamar in response. Not long after, Cole apologized and then deleted the track.
Since then, Lamar and Drake have hurled numerous tracks at each other, making damning accusations, several of which focused on their alleged mistreatment of women and children. The battle has caught the attention of the rap world, providing listeners with beaucoup gossip and music, some of which came from artists like Rick Ross and Kanye West.
Of course, neither rapper’s claims have been verified. And since verification isn’t necessarily a requirement in rap beef, these diss track accusations are just that: Accusations.
