Drake appears to be continuing his feud with Kendrick Lamar by hiring a model for his OVO clothing brand who bears a striking resemblance to his rival’s fiancée.
Kendrick’s longtime partner and mother of two Whitney Alford became a hot topic in the rap war, with Drizzy mentioning it in his diss songs “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” she.
Even though the woman in question is a model named Braedyn Ferguson, fans were quick to point out that she looked like Alford after posting photos from OVO’s latest clothing line on Instagram.
“They’re trying to look like Whitney. Drake’s camp is trying to sabotage his career [crying face emoji]”A netizen wrote in the message area.
Another claimed: “No, they did it on purpose to prank Ken.”
“Whitney is wearing a wife beater outfit…you guys are so petty,” a third user commented, referring to a photo of Ferguson wearing a white OVO tank top.
Drake made numerous accusations about Kendrick Lamar and Whitney Alford’s relationship during their beef, including allegations of domestic violence.
In “Family Matters,” he viciously rants: “When you put your hands on your daughter, is that self-defense because she’s older than you? […] They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat the Queen/the picture you painted was not what it seemed and you were dead.
He also raps: “Why did you move to New York?/Is it because you’re living the single life?/Proposed in 2015, but didn’t want her to be your real wife/I guess this wedding didn’t happen, right?/ Because we know the girl you really like/your darkest secret is coming to light.
Drake even hinted that one of the couple’s children was actually the father of K. Dot’s manager and business partner Dave Free: “You’ve been messing with her her whole life and you’re trying to make peace with me/ I heard one of the kids might be Dave Free.”
Kendrick later fired back, featuring Alford and their two children in his “Not Like Us” music video, with the happy family dancing in their living room to the chart-topping diss song.
The Compton native previously admitted cheating on Alford on his Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers song “Mother I Sober” and claimed he suffered from a sex addiction for which he sought professional help.
“Intoxicated, had a lustful nature I didn’t mention / My projected insecurities, sleeping with other women / Whitney’s hurt, the pure soul I knew, I found her in the kitchen / Ask God, ‘Where have I lost myself? Can this be forgiven?
Alford herself appears at the end of the song, in a spoken interlude that also features the couple’s daughter, saying: “You did it and I’m so proud of you. You broke a generational curse.” says : “Thank you dad.”
