Fans are picking a side.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been going back and forth all weekend. Overall, it started with the song "Like That" which dropped back in March. Drizzy finally responded to the song with "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle." Although "Push Ups" was loved, "Taylor Made Freestyle" was seen as a huge misstep. Subsequently, last week, Kendrick delivered "Euphoria" which was a pretty scathing takedown. On Friday, Lamar provoked Drizzy's response as he delivered the song "6:16 In LA." It was great bait, and Drake took it.

On Friday night, we got "Family Matters," a scathing track against Kendrick that accused him of domestic violence. While Kendrick has yet to respond to these allegations, he did respond to Drake quickly. He came through with "Meet The Grahams," a haunting and disturbing song with murderous piano keys from The Alchemist. The next day, he dropped "Not Like Us," an infectious club banger produced by DJ Mustard, that continued to poke fun at Drake. On Sunday night, Drake delivered "The Heart Part 6," where he dismantled Kendrick's allegations and even revealed that he planted the daughter information. However, the song felt like a bit of a surrender on Drake's part.

Since the release of the song, fans have been sounding off on social media. Overall, fans are very much on Kendrick's side here. Although some are giving him side-eye for the domestic violence allegations, many felt like Drake delivered a horrible response. His response to the pedophile allegations was sub-par, especially with the whole "Mother I Sober" angle. Moreover, Drake made it seem like he is throwing in the towel here, which means he doesn't have much else to say. Meanwhile, Kendrick appears to be ready for 10 more rounds, if need be. In the tweets below, you can see that as of right now, many have Kendrick as the winner in all of this.
