Drake Dissects Kendrick Lamar & Clears the Air With ‘The Heart Part 6’: Listen
The 6 God alleges that OVO fed K. Dot false information regarding a secret daughter that doesn't exist.
1h
Drake has made his own entry into Kendrick Lamar’s famed The Heart series with the defensive “The Heart Part 6” on Sunday (May 5).
The Aretha Franklin-sampling diss hit YouTube on Sunday night (May 5) with cover art featuring an Instagram comment made by Dave Free of a black heart and hand-heart on an Instagram photo posted by Kendrick’s fiancée Whitney Alford with their children.
Drake continued to double down on domestic violence allegations against the Compton rapper as well as Lamar’s manager, Dave Free, allegedly fathering an illegitimate child with Whitney. (Whitney is following Free on IG but not Lamar).

“And why isn’t Whitney denying all of the allegations/ Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale/ You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild/ Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child,” he raps.
The 6 God then changed focus to debunk claims of pedophilia made by Lamar in previous tracks such as “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”
“Speaking of anything with a child, let’s get to that now/ This Epstein angle was the shit I expected/ TikTok videos you collected and dissected/ Instead of being on some dis-direct s–t/ You rather f—ing grab your pen and misdirect s–t,” he contests.
He continued later into “The Heart Part 6” referencing his friendship with 20-year-old Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown. “Only f—–g with Whitney’s, not Millie Bobby Brown’s, I’d never look twice at no teenager,” Drizzy declares.
As far as the allegations of having a secret 11-year-old daughter he was hiding from the world that Kendrick rapped about on “Meet the Grahams,” Drake claimed that OVO actually planted the story as bait to trick the former TDE rapper, which Lamar took and ran with.
“We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information/ A daughter that’s eleven years old, I bet he takes it/ We thought about givin’ a fake name or a destination,” he recalls.

Drake finished out the five-minute marathon speaking directly to Kendrick while seemingly being disappointed in the alleged lies he’s spewing in the feud as he claims his bars have been straight facts.
“You would be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator and you weren’t f—–g lying to every blog or an editor but, it is what it is,” he raps with a sigh.
Metro Boomin isn’t backing down from dissing Drake as he reacted to “The Heart Part 6” with a Chris Paul meme essentially saying the OVO boss is still down a ton of points in the battle with K. Dot.
“The Heart Part 6” follows Drake’s “Family Matters” with his Kendrick Lamar diss track entries.
Lamar didn’t give Drizzy’s “Family Matters” even an hour of the spotlight before returning fire with the scathing “Meet the Grahams” Friday night (May 3), and he followed up with the Mustard-produced “Not Like Us” less than 24 hours later.
It’s anyone’s guess where this goes from here with both rappers digging their heels in and firing at-will to close out a historic hip-hop weekend.
