Drake Hits Back at Kendrick Lamar with New Diss Track “Family Matters”: Stream
And round and round we go. Drake has fired back at Kendrick Lamar with a new diss track called “Family Matters.”
Over the course of the seven-minute track, Drake makes several unsubstantiated claims about Lamar, including that he physically assaulted his longtime partner, Whitney Alford. Drake also suggests that one of Lamar’s children was actually fathered by longtime producer Dave Free, and that Lamar encouraged Tupac’s estate to file a cease and desist against Drake over the diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
“Family Matters” also sees Drake go after some of his other hip-hop foes, including Rick Ross, The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Future, and Metro Boomin.
For those keeping score, “Family Matters” marks Drake’s third diss track aimed at Lamar, following “Taylor Made Freestyle” and “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50).” Meanwhile, Lamar has dropped two diss tracks of his own: “euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.”

“Family Matters” is accompanied by a music video that suggests Drake may have had the song locked and loaded before Lamar dropped his own diss tracks earlier this week. “Family Matters” also closes with Drake essentially claiming victory and bowing out of any further beef by saying he’s going on vacation. Update: Lamar has already responded with “Meet the Grahams,” a devastating new diss track that sees Lamar accuse Drake of having a secret daughter.
