Drake shares cryptic post amid ugly feud with Kendrick Lamar – days after dramatic shooting outside his house

Drake has shared an extremely cryptic post about death amid his ongoing messy feud with Kendrick Lamar – and days after a dramatic shooting took place outside his house.

The Canadian rapper, 37, and the American musician, 36, arguably two of the world’s biggest hip-hop voices, have been embroiled in a furious rivalry for years – which heated up recently after the two released a slew of shocking diss tracks about one another.

Now, Drake may have shared a subtle message to Kendrick by posting a very interesting video to his Instagram Stories.

He uploaded a clip of a scene from the Netflix series A Man in Full that showed Jeff Daniels’ character, Charlie Croker, laying on the floor seemingly deceased, while a voiceover reflected on how people will remember him after he dies.

‘I don’t mean this as a criticism. Maybe I do. But when you die, will people notice?’ Jeff said as a video of his character lying on the ground flashed across the screen.

‘When I go, there are gonna be a lot of memories of me by a lot of people, many who hate me. Even so, a person needs to live with vigor. Otherwise, what’s the point?’ 

Drake’s post also comes only days after one of his security guards was gunned down during a drive-by shooting outside of his $100 million Toronto mansion.

According to the Toronto Sun, the unnamed guard was lured outside by a car that was blaring loud music shortly after 2am on Tuesday, and is now fighting for his life.

Suspects inside the car reportedly opened fire after the guard came outside, and hit him in the ‘upper body, possibly the right arm.’ The guard remains hospitalized with serious life-threatening injuries. 

Toronto Police told DailyMail.com that they could not confirm if the rapper was home at the time of the shooting. 

Despite Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick, officials have not indicated any early link to the shooting.

Drake and Kendrick started off as friends, and even collaborated on each other’s records in their early careers. 

The rap rivals even happily toured together in 2012 during Drake’s $42.6M-grossing, 65-date Club Paradise Tour.

But things seemed to turn sour in 2013, when Kendrick named dropped Drake in his song Control.

He sang, ‘I’m usually homeboys with the same n****s I’m rhyming with / But this is hip-hop and them n****s should know what time it is / And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, Meek Millz, ASAP Rocky, Drake. 

‘Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler, Mac Miller / I got love for you all, but I’m tryna murder you n****s / Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n****s / They don’t wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n****s.’ 

After that, the two made a few subtle jibes towards one another over the years, but the friction seemed to die down – until it reignited again in October of last year. 

Drake and J. Cole released their song First Person Shooter, in which they referred to themselves and Kendrick as ‘the big three.’

Kendrick seemingly took issue with this, which he expressed in an uncredited verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s track Like That, which dropped on March 26. 

He threw in multiple lyrical jabs at both Drake and J Cole, furiously rapping: ‘Motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me.’ 

Then, in April, Drake released a Kendrick diss track, entitled Push Ups, in which he called him a ‘pipsqueak’ and said he ‘got wiped down’ by other musicians like SZA, Travis Scott and 21 Savage.

The track’s promo art also seemed to take aim at the rapper’s small feet, since it featured only a size seven shoe tag. 

Kendrick responded with his song Euphoria – a six minute diss track filled with numerous shots at his rival. 

In the shock lyrics, he addresses Drake directly and asks whether he ‘feels black enough;’ he also brands him an absent father to his son Adonis, six, and a ‘master manipulator.’

‘How many more fairytale stories about your life ’til we’ve had enough? How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you’re Black enough?’ he raps.

‘Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar, too / But don’t tell no lie ’bout me, and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.”

‘I got a son to raise, but I can see you know nothin’ ’bout that,’ he adds in another part of the song.

In response to Kendrick raising the subject of Drake’s parenting, he went on to drop another song called Family Matters.

During it he says, ‘You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad / I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad.’

Plus, while announcing the song in Instagram, Drake wrote, ‘Stop trying to piece together what I know and go pick up the pieces of your broken home.’ 

Mere minutes after Drake released the track, Kendrick fired back with a song called Meet the Grahams. 

On his quick-witted rebuttal, Kendrick suggested that Drake had a secret daughter and points to the rapper’s alleged battle with gambling and alcohol.

‘You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh / You lied about them other kids that’s out there hoping that you come,’ the lyrics read.

In response, Drake shared a selfie to his Instagram Story and wrote, ‘Nah hold on can someone find my hidden daughter please and send her to me… These guys are in shambles,’ with crying laughing emoji. 

Kendrick’s newest song Not Like Us was released on May 4, on YouTube with what appeared to be a graphic of Drake’s home covered with red sex offender symbols – and in the lyrics, he appeared to accuse Drake of being a pedophile.

‘Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young,’ he raps, encouraging others to ‘hide your little sister from him.’

Drake responded with one more song, called The Heart Part 6, which came out on May 5. 

‘I never been with no one underage but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with / Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected,’ reads the lyrics.

‘If I was f***ing young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s*** you just suggested / Drake is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list.’
