Drake and Budden’s feud heated up in 2016 following the New Jersey native’s criticism of Drizzy’s Views album. The OVO boss took pictures at Budden on “4PM in Calabasas,” and Budden fired away at Drake with a collection of diss tracks together with “Making a Assassin, Pt. 1,” “Wake” and “Afraid.”
Drizzy didn’t reply immediately with a diss monitor, however replied by sniping at Budden on “No Buying” with French Montana.
Two years later, Pusha T left a stain on Drake’s résumé in 2018 when claiming that Drizzy had a son named Adonis — properly earlier than Drizzy himself confirmed the information — on the scathing “The Story of Adidon” diss monitor, which Drake didn’t reply to.

Drake stepped as much as ship “Push Ups,” the AI-assisted “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Household Issues” and “The Coronary heart Half 6,” whereas Kendrick unleashed “Euphoria,” “6:16 in L.A,” the diabolical “Meet the Grahams” and the Mustard-produced kill shot “Not Like Us.”
The hip-hop neighborhood declared Okay. Dot to be the victor towards Drake, and Lamar figuratively took a victory lap at his Pop Out live performance on Juneteenth.
