The rap battle of the hiphop titans Kendrick Lamar and Drake is becoming hotter and hotter. The diss track Meet The Grahams from Lamar recently dropped a linguistic bomb – he hinted that the Canadian rapper has a secret daughter. In response, the singer, far from neutral, says that this is 90% not so, and from time to time, he needs some evidence that this girl even exists. Where is the true path – in the lyrics of Lamar and Drake or the cutting of rhymes?
And this is where another well-known fact from the life of Kendrick Lamar appears. This is the story of Lil L, a longtime friend of Kung Fu Kenny from Compton. Excitingly, on a Reddit thread about the two rappers’ private lives, Lil L wrote in confirming that Drake has a daughter. It caused a huge riot in hip hop, especially on forums like LipStick Alley.
Users of Lipstickalley immediately began to doubt the story of Lil L. As a friend from Compton, how could he know about such a private information? Isn’t he two steps from Drake’s inner circle? And the very context in which Lil confirmed must also be taken into account.
This most recent development calls to mind the award-winning album by Kendrik Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly. The album’s cover artwork displays Lamar at its heart, gesticulating with a kid in his arms. He is surrounded by a merry gathering of Black men including Lil L, women, and youths standing outside of the White House. It has previously been verified that the individuals depicted in the picture are Lamar’s pals and family from Compton, California. Is it possible that this photograph contains a cryptic message regarding the current situation?
From Lamar’s fiery accusations, Lil L’s subsequent online claim, the wide extent of the doubt it generated the truth is uncertain. Could Drake be hiding his daughter? Is Lil L’s word trustworthy? The battle between these two rap titans is not going to be resolved anytime soon, and despite each new advancement, the mystery deepens.
