In a stunning turn of events, Kendrick Lamar’s affiliates have taken to social media to trash Drake’s latest release, “What Did I Miss,” from his upcoming album, “Ice Man.” Just hours after Drake’s live music video debut, reactions poured in, revealing a divided fanbase and sparking heated debates across platforms.
Drake’s unorthodox promotional strategy featured a live YouTube performance and a drive through Toronto, but critics are not impressed. While die-hard fans praised the track, many are calling out the Canadian rapper for recycling old themes. Lyrics hinting at betrayal and revenge have led some to question whether Drake is stuck in a repetitive cycle, with one fan bluntly stating, “We don’t care about people that switched up on you. Please just give us something else.”
The backlash intensified when Kendrick’s close associate, DJ Head, described the song as “cool” but criticized its tone-deaf imagery, particularly a scene featuring guns. “Asking what you missed like you’ve been off word with Carol Denver is kind of wild,” he remarked, encapsulating the mixed feelings surrounding the release.
Adding fuel to the fire, rapper Hit J3 accused Drake of lacking originality, hinting at borrowed lyrics without specifying. Meanwhile, Glattis Malone mockingly referenced Kendrick’s lyrics, stating, “There’s no accent you can sell me,” further intensifying the rivalry between the two rap titans.
Despite the controversy, “What Did I Miss” has surged into the top five on US Apple Music, leaving fans wondering if it will reach number one or fade away. The drama surrounding this release is far from over, as the rap community eagerly awaits the next chapter in this unfolding saga. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
