Fans React As Drake Replies Kendrick Lamar With “Family Matters” Diss
Drake’s response to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “6:16 In L.A.” was swift and decisive. He released “Family Matters,” a robust response accompanied by a seven-minute music video on YouTube. The video is a continuation of his first diss, “Push Ups,” with the intro beat of “Family Matters” being the beat switch at the end of the previous diss. Drake’s anticipation had been building up, with cryptic messages on his Instagram Story, including a clip from The Equalizer 2 and an image of yellow caution tape. Drake did not disappoint his fans; he released a song that was just as dense with lyrics.
Drake targets The Weeknd, suggesting that his music only plays in spots where “boys got a little more pride.” However, Kendrick is the primary target of the diss. “Family Matters” refers to Kendrick’s criticism of Drake’s parenting skills. The music video shows Drake holding his son and walking around his mansion, proving Kendrick’s claims to be baseless. Drake even suggests that Lamar should give him the money he got from his number one song, “Like That,” as he only got the spot because he was talking about him. Drake addresses many issues in the lyrics of “Family Matters,” including his enemies and Kendrick’s criticisms of him in the past week. The lyrics are dense and require several listens to understand them fully. The music video is well-planned and executed, with every scene reinforcing the track’s lyrics. The feud between the two rappers is intense, and Drake’s response is a testament to his strong character and unwavering confidence. It’s exciting to see what will happen next in this battle, as many didn’t expect Kendrick to drop another diss “Meet the Grahams” less than an hour later. At this rate, catching up with the fallout of events from this feud will have fans sweating.

If you needed anymore proof that Kendrick has a mole in Drake's camp, he drops his response "Meet the Grahams" within an hour of "Family Matters" and then has the Jewelry shop receipt of the ring Drake is using in the video as a portrayal of Kendrick's wife's ring. This is some… pic.twitter.com/COL6zrZ9yc

Drakes track would’ve hit a lot harder if it had time to breathe before Kendrick addresses his family.
These last two offerings makes this whole battle diabolical master class.
Kendrick “Meet The Grahams” was a High Lvl Master piece.
And Drake “Family Matters” was a master…
