As of Tuesday morning (April 30), Kendrick Lamar’s Twitter (X) is trending. The former Top Dawg Entertainment MC’s name started trending after he released a new diss song titled “Euphoria” targeting Drake.
The song is over six minutes long and has Kendrick Lamar in battle mode. After about three minutes, he dismantled everything about Drake.
“It’s always about love and hate, and now let me say I’m the biggest hater,” he spits. “I hate the way you walk, the way you talk/I hate the way you dress/I hate the way you secretly diss, if I had a flight to catch, it would be direct/We hate b##### #你f## #, because they confuse themselves with real women.
“Mind you, I said ‘we’, it’s not just me, I am what the culture feels / How many fairy tales are there about your life until we have had enough? / How many black traits are there, until you Finally Feeling You’re Black Enough/I like Drake’s melodies, I don’t like Drake acting tough.
Lamar at one point launched a paternity attack on Drake, whose son with former adult film actress Sophie Brousseau was the main focus of the 2018 Pusha T beef. As he raps, “Why am I on the phone trying to get n#####? / Y’all think my life is rap? That’s it / I got a son to raise, but I can tell You know nothing about it.
Kendrick Lamar also referenced J. Cole, rapping: “Cole and Aubrey know I’m a selfish man, the crown is heavy/I pray they’re my real friends, if not, I’m YNW Melly .
Naturally, as enthusiasm exploded for Lamar’s latest chess move, so did the internet’s meme gold. Find some of the best below.

Drake: You’re short.
Kendrick: You made up this whole black persona to hide your insecurities and gain acceptance and steal our culture. No one respects you, Didi slapped you, you’re scared of Pusha and you’re not allowed to say n#### Aubrey #euphoria #kdot pic.twitter.com/OLfcx7ghIO

Kendrick used the late great DMX to express his distaste for Drake on “Euphoria” and it made me uncomfortable.
It has to be a special kind of hurt when someone destroys your existence, like it’s deep disgust when someone doesn’t like who you are. 😭 pic.twitter.com/SDj7qwyyGl

Kendrick goes into a 40-second critique of Drake’s production style, reminiscent of ’80s R&B, and then takes it straight to hell. My goat. pic.twitter.com/7hMgChzOld

I’m the biggest hater.
I hate the way you walk
the way you talk
I hate the way you dress
I hate the way you secretly diss
If I catch a flight, it’s a direct flight.
We hate you f### women because they confuse themselves with real women…-Kendrick pic.twitter.com/sgcg3WZQmQ
