We wouldn’t normally wander into the fray of a rap beef, but the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken a deadly turn after a drive-by shooting outside Drake’s home in Toronto. The incident happened at about 2am local time on Tuesday and left one of his security guards in a critical condition. It’s a long-running row but it escalated recently with both releasing ‘diss tracks’ – aka not very nice songs – about each other. Lyrics have included serious allegations such as domestic violence, secret children, infidelity and even paedophilia. Police say it’s unclear whether the incident was related to the feud, but fans have pointed out the cover of Lamar’s latest track Not Like Us features a satellite image of Drake’s house with numerous red locator markers on it and opens with the line, “I see dead people”.
