In the ongoing saga of hip-hop’s heavyweight rivalry, Kendrick Lamar has dropped a bombshell with his latest diss track titled “Euphoria,” aimed squarely at Drake. The simmering feud between these two titans of rap has reached new heights, drawing in some of the biggest names in the industry and sparking what some are calling a “civil war” among rap’s elite.

Released on Lamar’s YouTube channel, “Euphoria” pulls no punches as Lamar takes aim at Drake’s persona and background. Over six minutes of scathing lyrics, Lamar labels Drake as a “master manipulator and habitual liar,” while also questioning his parenting abilities, biracial identity, and Canadian roots.

The track doesn’t hold back, with Lamar delivering blistering lines such as “I got a son to raise, but I can see you don’t know nothin’ bout that,” and “how many more Black features ‘til you finally feel that you’re Black enough?” The song also accuses Drake of selling out with his music choices, suggesting that he merely produces “music that pacify ’em.”

This latest salvo in the ongoing feud dates back to 2013 when Lamar asserted his dominance over his peers in the industry, including Drake, on the Big Sean track “Control.” Since then, tensions have simmered, erupting periodically with each artist taking shots at the other through their music.

The feud reignited in March of this year when Lamar appeared on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit track “Like That,” responding to Drake and J Cole’s claims of being the “big three” of hip-hop with the defiant line “Motherfuck the big three, it’s just big me.”

Drake responded with not one but two diss tracks of his own, mocking Lamar’s stature and mainstream collaborations. However, it was the second track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which drew widespread criticism for its use of AI technology to imitate the voices of Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur criticizing Lamar.

Now, with “Euphoria,” Lamar has fired back, addressing the controversy head-on and reigniting the feud with even greater intensity. The track has already sparked reactions from across the rap community, with peers such as the Weeknd and Kanye West weighing in with their own responses.

As the feud escalates, fans are left eagerly anticipating the next move in this high-stakes battle between two of hip-hop’s biggest names. And with tensions running high, one thing is certain: this feud is far from over, and the world of rap is watching closely to see how it unfolds.
