Welcome to another episode of Billboard News, I’m Rania Aniftos, and let’s jump right in. If you thought the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef was anywhere near squashed, Kendrick just turned up the heat. Kendrick Lamar surprise dropped “euphoria” in response to Drake’s “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle” where he used AI to include Tupac in the diss track “euphoria” is over six minutes of diss after diss mostly against Drake, but also J. Cole. That’s likely in reference to rapper YNW Melly who is currently on trial for allegedly killing two of his friends. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Kendrick also touches on Drake’s feud with Pusha T and brings up one of his recent collaborators. And that’s just some of the many disses in “euphoria.” For a full breakdown of the song head over to billboard.com.
