Kendrick Lamar’s latest diss single, Euphoria, challenges Drake’s sincerity.
Lamar intensified his ongoing conflict with Drake in the April 30, 2024, release of the new song.
In the song, Kendrick Lamar calls Drake a manipulator and absent father in addition to questioning his sincerity and ethnic identity.
The rapper’s last song, “Euphoria,” questioned Kendrick Lamar’s reputation and claimed that mainstream collaborations had caused him to lose his edge.
Lamar asks, “How many more fairytale stories about your life ’til we’ve had enough? in the deeply personal lyrics of Euphoria. How many more Black characteristics must you have before you feel sufficiently Black?
This statement alludes to the current debates around Drake’s identity and how he is portrayed in the media.
