Kendrick Lamar Fires Back at Drake with New Diss Track ‘euphoria’

Kendrick Lamar has unleashed his latest salvo aimed squarely at Drake with a scathing diss track titled ‘euphoria’. The track comes as the latest installment in the heated feud among rap’s self-proclaimed “big three,” which includes Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole.

The feud ignited last month when Kendrick Lamar stirred the pot with a blistering verse on the Future and Metro Boomin collaboration “Like That”. In the verse, Kendrick didn’t mince words, declaring, “Motherfuck the big three, n****, it’s just big me.”

J. Cole quickly fired back with his own track, ‘7 Minute Drill’, where he criticized Kendrick’s recent work, likening it to a “tragic” decline akin to that of ‘The Simpsons’. However, Cole later expressed regret for his involvement in the feud and removed the track from streaming platforms.

Drake, never one to back down from a challenge, responded with ‘Push Ups’ and ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’, where he notably utilized an AI-generated voice of Tupac Shakur to call out Kendrick for not responding to his initial diss. However, the latter track was swiftly removed from streaming platforms following a legal challenge from Tupac Shakur’s estate.

Now, Kendrick Lamar has officially clapped back at Drake with ‘euphoria’, dropping the bombshell on Twitter today. Clocking in at over six minutes, the track pulls no punches, reserving its most pointed jabs for the final verse. Kendrick takes aim at Drake, labeling him as “cringeworthy”, a “habitual liar”, and someone consumed by a fixation on fame and intimidated by successful women, among other biting critiques.
