It’s the biggest rap beef in years: The two global stars Drake and Kendrick Lamar insult each other in front of an audience of millions. Their dispute is older – but the current allegations are particularly harsh: pedophilia and domestic violence.
Once upon a time there were two exceptional talents who made music together. Two rappers, one goal: success. Their story begins in 2011. One musician was better known than the other at that time: While Kendrick Lamar released his first album, Drake was already a star. He recognizes the newcomer’s talent. Drake records a song with Lamar, brings him on stage on his arena tour – he pushes him. The public thinks: These are friends.
Today they are enemies. They no longer rap songs with each other, but against each other. What happened?
