Canadian rapper Drake has firmly denied allegations of having a secret daughter and engaging in sexual acts with minors.
The controversy arose after US rapper Kendrick Lamar released a diss track titled “Meet The Grahams,” targeting Drake.
In the track, Lamar expressed sympathy for Adonis, Drake’s known son, while also alleging that Drake is hiding another child—an 11-year-old girl.
Lamar criticized Drake for not being actively involved in this purported daughter’s life.
“Dear baby girl, I am sorry that your father is not active inside your world. Should be teaching you timetables or watching ‘Frozen’ with you or at your eleventh birthday, singing poems,” the lyrics read.
Drake responded playfully on Instagram, humorously asking for help in “finding his hidden daughter.”
“Nah, hold on. Can someone find my hidden daughter please and send her to me? These guys are in shambles,” he replied.
However, he later addressed Lamar’s allegations more seriously in a new track titled “The Heart Part 6.”
In the song, Drake vehemently denied being a sex offender and asserted that he would never engage with underage individuals.
He expressed disgust at the allegations and emphasized that if they were true, he would have faced legal consequences.
“Drake is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list, easy does it. You mentioning A minor, B sharp and tell the fans: who was it?” the lyrics read.
“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, If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested, I’m way too famous for this shit you just suggested.
“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information. A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it. We thought about giving a fake name or a destination but you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation.”
Drake also claimed that he and his team deliberately fed Lamar false information about the supposed secret daughter.
The lyrics suggest that they plotted to mislead Lamar regarding the child’s existence.
“Meet The Grahams” is one of several diss tracks Lamar has aimed at Drake, including hits like “Like That,” “Euphoria,” and “6:16 in LA.” Drake responded with subtle disses in tracks such as “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
Initially, J. Cole also joined the fray with his own diss track but later apologized to Lamar.
