What is the up with the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar? And what about J. Cole? - eviltoast

I know they’re posting diss tracks against each other, but I’m not sure why? What made this start? And how was J. Cole involved? And how has this feud evolved so far?

I feel so out of the loop on this one! All I see is reaction images of the songs and Kendrick destroying Drake, but without the context of why they were posted, I’m still confused.

    I’m so out of the loop that I don’t even know if Drake, you know the one who wears that red puffy jacket in that meme with the yellow background… is the same as Drake from Nickelodeon early 2000s kids shows. Are they two different Drakes? cuz they sure look different from each other.

        So the one wearing a red puffy jacket with the yellow background.

        I had to Google that because I’m really out of the loop, the only Degrassi I know was the one on PBS In the mid '90s And I didn’t even watch that, I just remember a few clips and a friend telling me about it.

        and the Nickelodeon Drake I’m talking about was from the Amanda Show probably late 1990s

          Ya I don’t think Degrassi was ever on Nickelodeon. If you’re thinking of Drake Bell, then no, they are definitely two different people lol. Both got into music, though, although in different genres (one did rap, the other rock or something). And like the other replier mentioned, I think both got into trouble for sliding into the DM’s of minors.
