The Drake vs Kendrick Lamar feud has been a topic of discussion across social media for quite some time now. What started with two celebrated artists dissing each other on their tracks took a drastic turn as things got personal. Recently, Dr. Dre remarked on the subject.
An X-user reacted to his remark:
"lol why everyone so bias when it comes to Drake?"

To understand Dr. Dre's comments, let's dive into the backstory for context. In 2023, Kendrick collaborated with Big Sean on a track called "Control," where he attacked Big Sean, JCole, and Drake:
"And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale, Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller; I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you."
However, Drake reportedly took the lyrics personally and expressed his resentment. Since then, they have gone back and forth with popular diss tracks like "First Person Shooter" (Drake), "Push-ups" (Drake), "Taylor Made FreeStyle" (Drake), "Euphoria" (Kendrick), "6.16 in LA" (Kendrick), "Family Matters" (Drake) and "Not Like Us" (Kendrick) and more.
In his track "Push Ups" (2024), Drake hinted about Kendrick's wife's rumored affair with a bodyguard.
"I be with some bodyguards like Whitney" ~ Push Ups
On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar referenced Drake's son in his track "Euphoria" (2024):
"Dementia must run in his family, but let it get shaky, I'll park your son" ~ Euphoria
Dr. Dre has expressed his love for Lamar's "Not Like Us," where he dissed Drake once again. However, he feels that it was a mistake as it triggered Drake to go for Kendrick's family next.
