Yes, the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud is still unresolved. As Will Ferrell famously said in the movie “Blades of Glory”: “It’s provocative, it gets the people going”.
Drake's dad, the original OG, Dennis Graham, has weighed in on Lamar's Grammy wins for his diss track “Not Like Us”, which was aimed squarely at his son.
Lamar walked away with five Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the track, which features lyrics accusing Drake of being a paedophile, all set to a catchy beat.
Graham, 70, wasn’t too fussed when asked about Lamar's success at the Grammys by TikToker.
“I don’t care enough about that s***,” Graham said. “Ain’t got nothing to with me. All the best to him, man. I don’t do that bulls***.” When asked for his thoughts on the awards show itself, he simply responded, “Excellent.”
And let’s not overlook Papa Graham’s style. The man was there to slay with that majestic moustache.
Now that’s how you do it - cool as a cucumber. Looks like he’s picked up a few tricks for staying out of the drama from rapper J. Cole. No time for nonsense.

But we’re here for the music, because whether you like it or not, Drake has been consistent in dropping fire tracks.
Recently, he shared a teaser on Instagram for an upcoming project, “$exy $ongs 4 U,” set to drop on February 14.
“The $exy $ongs 4 U” teaser features PartyNextDoor singing as the camera pans down a hallway and into a dimly lit back room, where Drake sits in the corner.
He’s joined by three women - one singing into a microphone while the others engage in a deep conversation.
Drake’s upcoming release will be his first since dropping the 100 Gigs EP in August 2024. His last studio album, “For All the Dogs”, was released in October 2023.
