Unless you’ve been under a rock for 24 hours, you’re aware that Kendrick Lamar called Drake everything but a child of God on his song “Euphoria.” Kendrick used the six-plus-minute track, released Tuesday morning, to reference the Canadian’s alleged plastic surgery and call him a scam artist, a manipulator, a cultural appropriator and a deadbeat dad.
