Drake Refutes Kendrick Lamar’s Claims of His Secret Daughter, Being a Pedophile in ‘The Heart Part 6’

Drake Refutes Kendrick Lamar’s Claims of His Secret Daughter, Being a Pedophile in ‘The Heart Part 6’

Drake responded quickly to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” dropping “The Heart Part 6” on Sunday, a day after Lamar’s latest diss, which accuses Drake of being a “certified pedophile.” He also shut down that he had a secret daughter, which Lamar alludes to in Friday’s barb “Meet the Grahams.” That track was a quick-hit response to Drake’s “Family Matters,” also from Friday, which alleges infidelity in Lamar’s relationship.

“Pulitzer Prize winner is definitely spiraling,” Drake raps to kicks things off, before he addresses Lamar’s allegations he has a daughter no one knows about, claiming that he and others planted that fake intel as a ruse. “The ones you getting you’re stories from, they all clowns/I am a war general, seasoned in preparation,” he raps.


“You waited for this moment overcome with the desperation/We plotted for a week and then fed you the information/A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it,” Drake continues. “We thought about giving a fake name or a destination/But you so thirsty you’re not concerned with investigation.”

Later, Drake alludes again to infidelity in Lamar’s relationship with fiancée Whitney Alford. “Why isn’t Whitney denying all of the allegations,” he raps, then claims, “You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild.”

As for Lamar’s claims that Drake is a pedophile, he at first looks to reason about why Lamar might be “obsessed with” that, initially appearing like he might be extending an olive branch over Lamar’s deeply personal “Mother I Sober,” where he discusses how sexual assault trauma affects generations. “This about to get so depressing/This is trauma from your own confessions,” he raps, and adds, “I don’t want to diss you anymore, this really got me second guessing.”

But as one might expect with a beef that has gotten so dark it’s difficult to see either side making peace, Drake gets back to the mutual dissing at hand after denying he’s ever been with anyone underage. “I’m way too famous for the shit you just suggested, but that’s not the lesson, clearly there’s a deeper message/Deep cuts that never healed but got infected,” he raps, adding: “But you a piece of shit so this shit’s really no coincidence/Drake is not a name that you gonna see on no sex offenders list.”

And if it wasn’t any clearer that things have hit an impasse, Drake states it pretty plainly: “I’m a fucking hitmaker, dog, not a peacemaker/Yeah bullets that I’m stuffing in each chamber/You’re ass in extreme danger.”

Drake comes back to Lamar’s relationship toward the end of the more than five-minute track. “I don’t want to fight with a woman beater, it feeds your nature/If you’re still bumping R. Kelly you can thank the savior,” he raps. “Whitney, you can hit me when you need a favor/And when I say I hit you back, it’s a lot safer. I promise.”

Earlier last week, Lamar dropped both the scathing “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.”  Drake responded Friday with “Family Matters,” and Kendrick responded in kind the same night with “Meet the Grahams.”

The escalating beef between Lamar and Drake began with Lamar’s Drake- and J. Cole-dragging verse in Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which arrived in March. J. Cole initially responded with “7 Minute Drill,” a track he later said he regretted while speaking from the stage at his Dreamville festival. Drake then responded to Lamar with “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50)” and also “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which was ultimately removed from the web following its controversial and potentially litigious-inducing use of AI Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg vocals.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.
