Drake-Kendrick Lamar Feud: Shooting Incident Raises Concerns
This shooting incident comes after ongoing reports of a feud between Drake and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. The tension has been building, especially after Drake dropped a new diss track called “The Heart Part 6” on Sunday night. In the track, Drake responded to some allegations made by Lamar in his recent songs, particularly addressing accusations related to sexual misconduct. The rap feud between Drake and Lamar has reached a boiling point, becoming exceptionally heated and personal, which is unusual in the industry. They’ve been trading allegations back and forth, and some of these claims haven’t been supported by evidence.
Inspector Krawczyk said he is well aware of the feud between Drake and Lamar, but he emphasized that it’s still very early in the investigation, and they don’t have a motive for the shooting yet. He mentioned that Toronto police will be conducting a thorough search in the neighborhood, going door to door to find witnesses and possibly more video footage of the incident.
Krawczyk said that the investigation into the shooting was getting a lot of attention because Drake was involved. But he also said that they’re handling it just like any other investigation.
