The ongoing rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake reached new heights when Lamar dropped a guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit song, “Like That.” This move escalated their tension into one of the most widely-discussed in recent years. However, the drama took an unexpected turn when J. Cole recorded a diss track aimed at Lamar, only to later retract it and issue an apology, a rare move in the world of hip-hop.
The saga continued as Drake’s “Push Ups” leaked, sparking confusion about its authenticity.
