Drake’s Father Reacts Strongly to Kendrick Lamar’s Victory at Grammy 

February 2, 2025, marked an unforgettable night in Kendrick Lamar’s career as he made history at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. The Compton-born rapper delivered a dominant performance, taking home five prestigious Grammy trophies, including the two most significant awards of the night:

• Record of the Year
• Song of the Year

“Not Like Us” – A Historic Hit

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that all five Grammy awards Kendrick Lamar won were for “Not Like Us”—a track that not only dominated the charts but also fueled one of the most intense rap feuds of the decade. The song features direct jabs at Drake, along with accusations hinting at his alleged inappropriate relationships with young women, which had been a controversial topic in the past year.

Drake’s Father Reacts Strongly to Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy Victory

While Drake himself has remained silent regarding Kendrick Lamar’s triumph, his father, Dennis Graham, had no hesitation in sharing his blunt thoughts, drawing major attention from fans and the media.

During an interview with TikToker Joy of Everything, when asked about Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy wins, Dennis Graham’s response was sharp and dismissive:

“I don’t care about that. It has nothing to do with me. I wish him the best, but I don’t do that. That’s some bullsht.”*

His sarcastic and tense statement instantly ignited social media, further intensifying the already heated rivalry between the two hip-hop superstars.

The Most Emotional Moment of the 2025 Grammy Awards

Aside from the controversies, one of the most impactful moments at the 2025 Grammy Awards was Kendrick Lamar’s acceptance speech for Record of the Year. With heartfelt sincerity, Kendrick dedicated his victory to Los Angeles, particularly to the areas affected by wildfires, such as Altadena and Pacific Palisades:

“We’re dedicating this win to the city. This is where I grew up, where I started writing my best raps, and where I crafted these records.”

His words were not just a tribute to his hometown but also a powerful message of resilience, unity, and community restoration.

“Not Like Us” – Kendrick’s Most Aggressive Jab at Drake

However, behind this Grammy-winning success lies the undeniable tension between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, a rivalry that exploded into one of the most intense feuds in modern hip-hop history.

When “Not Like Us” was released in May 2024, Kendrick Lamar didn’t hold back, delivering a direct and scathing lyrical attack on Drake:

“Hey Drake, I heard you like them young.”

This line immediately set the internet on fire, with many speculating that Kendrick was referencing long-standing rumors about Drake’s alleged inappropriate interactions with younger women.

Kendrick didn’t stop there. He mocked Drake’s album “Certified Lover Boy”, calling it:

“The album for pedophiles.”

Furthermore, the “Not Like Us” music video included aerial shots of Drake’s mansion, a clear and intentional jab, fueling the speculation and controversy surrounding the accusations.

Drake Fires Back with “The Heart Part 6”

Unwilling to stay silent, Drake struck back with the release of “The Heart Part 6”, where he categorically denied Kendrick’s allegations and countered with his own accusations:

“I’ve never been with anyone underage. But now I see why you did this—to try and destroy everything.”

Expressing outrage and frustration, Drake further asserted:

“I feel disgusted by what you just implied. If I were truly that kind of person, I’d have been arrested already.”

Is the Feud Over, or Just Getting Started?

While Kendrick Lamar made history at the 2025 Grammy Awards, his rivalry with Drake is far from settled. With Drake’s strong counterattack through “The Heart Part 6”, many are wondering: Will Kendrick respond with another diss, or will the feud finally come to an end?

Regardless of what happens next, one thing is clear:
“Not Like Us” is not just a Grammy-winning song—it is a cultural phenomenon that redefined diss tracks in hip-hop history.
