Gillie Crowns Drake As The Winner In Kendrick Lamar Rap Beef

by

After the release of Drake’s “The Heart Part 6,” in which he seemingly bows out of the Kendrick Lamar beef claiming victory, the hip-hop world is debating whether or not that’s true. Some think his diss was hard but that K.Dot is still up, others think he lost the battle, and others agree with his sentiment. One of these OVO sympathizers (at least, right now in terms of the rap beef) is Gillie, who took to Instagram on Sunday (May 5) to share his thoughts. Regardless of his final decision, it’s clear that he’s impressed with just how low both stooped to be disrespectful, which is one of his key rubric points in a hip-hop battle.

“It’s over with!” Gillie said of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. “Light-skinned n***as won. They took that s**t, man. That s**t over with, man. Kendrick can’t come back. When he came back again [with ‘Not Like Us’], I said, ‘Oh, he barbecue baked, honey-dipped, glazed, basted, seasoned the light-skinned n***as’ and then Drake just… [laughs]. It’s over with. The light-skinned n***as won.” Many in the comments section of the post below disagreed with this take, others were celebrating victory too, and some think it’s still an ongoing race.

For what it’s worth, Gillie gave both praise and criticism to Kendrick Lamar’s previous diss output, although it’s been all praise for Drake. He called “euphoria” “corn on the cob” but then gave flowers to “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us.” “That’s the type of s**t I’m talking about,” the Philly MC and entertainment icon remarked in an Instagram video. “You supposed to get disrespectful.” As such, calling him merely an OVO bot is pretty unfair, especially when there are actual bots on both sides.

Meanwhile, other veteran spitters like Cam’ron and Mase also chimed in after “The Heart Part 6.” Given everything alleged and all the controversy, it’s fair to say that this is a narrative battle right now until there’s some actual proof on the table. Maybe there’s no winner by the end of this. The only ones who have fully benefitted from all this are the labels and the culture that they intend to exploit.

Kendrick Lamar Has Fans Declaring Him The Winner As Drake Seemingly Bows Out With “The Heart Part 6”

by

Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been going back and forth all weekend. Overall, it started with the song “Like That” which dropped back in March. Drizzy finally responded to the song with “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Although “Push Ups” was loved, “Taylor Made Freestyle” was seen as a huge misstep. Subsequently, last week, Kendrick delivered “Euphoria” which was a pretty scathing takedown. On Friday, Lamar provoked Drizzy’s response as he delivered the song “6:16 In LA.” It was great bait, and Drake took it.

On Friday night, we got “Family Matters,” a scathing track against Kendrick that accused him of domestic violence. While Kendrick has yet to respond to these allegations, he did respond to Drake quickly. He came through with “Meet The Grahams,” a haunting and disturbing song with murderous piano keys from The Alchemist. The next day, he dropped “Not Like Us,” an infectious club banger produced by DJ Mustard, that continued to poke fun at Drake. On Sunday night, Drake delivered “The Heart Part 6,” where he dismantled Kendrick’s allegations and even revealed that he planted the daughter information. However, the song felt like a bit of a surrender on Drake’s part.

Since the release of the song, fans have been sounding off on social media. Overall, fans are very much on Kendrick’s side here. Although some are giving him side-eye for the domestic violence allegations, many felt like Drake delivered a horrible response. His response to the pedophile allegations was sub-par, especially with the whole “Mother I Sober” angle. Moreover, Drake made it seem like he is throwing in the towel here, which means he doesn’t have much else to say. Meanwhile, Kendrick appears to be ready for 10 more rounds, if need be. In the tweets below, you can see that as of right now, many have Kendrick as the winner in all of this.

Drake’s G-Wagon Winner Didn’t Get To Keep Prize, Fan’s Mom Alleges

During Drake’s final tour stop in Toronto, he promised to send one fan home with an extravagant gift. The news wasn’t too shocking, as he’s done similar giveaways on his It’s All A Blur tour in the past. Previously, fans have left his shows with designer bags, thousands of dollars, and even cars.

At the show, the Canadian hitmaker vouched to gift an audience member a Mercedes-Benz G550V G-Wagon. A clip of Drake reading off the winning ticket made its rounds online after, and commenters praised his generosity. The lucky winner had driven all the way from Pittsford, NY to see Drake, according to his friend’s mother. Unfortunately, however, she also claims that he left empty-handed.

The woman spoke with HipHopDX recently, recalling how her son’s friend was allegedly told that he couldn’t take his prize home. “Their discussion with my son and his friend went on for nearly an hour,” she explained. “Trying to come up with some way that he could accept the car.” Apparently, the fact that the winner wasn’t a Canadian citizen made the prize non-transferable. She says that following an hour of discussion, they were told “No, you absolutely cannot take the vehicle.”

“Those leading the contest should have been able to tell the winner up front, right away, that the prize was absolutely not transferable,” she also added. “Instead they went back and forth about it, and in the end, my son’s friend walked away with nothing, and they both missed the last hour of the concert!!! Absolutely ridiculous!! Handled very unprofessionally in my opinion.” She then went on to share how much of a let-down the mishap was for the two fans. “This situation left two of his fans very unhappy and disappointed,” she additionally claimed. “After they drove over three hours to Toronto and paid for a hotel room and concert tickets.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Drake.
