Drake Tries to Nix Kendrick’s Pedophile Allegations—but Ends Up Fueling Them Instead
Drake’s destructive rap battle with Kendrick Lamar was littered with friendly fire after Sunday night’s release of “The Heart Part 6,” in which he angrily denied Kendrick’s wild suggestion that he may have preyed on underage women—an effort meant to quash the nasty rumors that instead likely drew even more attention to them.
Drake started out on the defensive Sunday night, at a distinct disadvantage since Kendrick released the back-to-back stompers “meet the grahams” and “Not Like Us” on Friday and Saturday. The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper pummeled Drake on a number of fronts, but the most serious allegation was over the Canadian rapper’s red flag-raising relationships with younger women.
“Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young / You better not ever go to cell block one,” Kendrick raps on “Not Like Us,” a reference to the statistic that sex offenders, especially pedophiles, are more likely to be killed in prison than other inmates.
