Kendrick Lamar took the rap community by surprise on Friday (May 3), when he dropped another Drake diss titled “6:16 In LA” on his Instagram page. “6:16 In LA” arrived three days after his first proper Drake diss, “euphoria,” hit the internet on Tuesday (April 30).
The track’s title plays off of the OVO leader’s well-known timestamp songs such as “5AM in Toronto” and “8am in Charlotte.” On “6:16 In LA,” Lamar implies Drake has multiple moles in his camp.
“Are you finally ready to play Have You Ever? Let’s see,” he spits. “Have you ever thought that OVO was working for me?/ Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/ Everyone inside your team’s whispering that you deserve it.”
Kendrick Lamar’s “euphoria” was a trending topic throughout the week. The pgLang co-founder topped several streaming services charts and currently sits at No. 1 on Spotify U.S. and Apple Music. Rumors suggest Lamar is locked and loaded with a 19-minute version of the song.
The discourse between Kendrick Lamar and Drake kicked off in March with the release of Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That” single, which featured a scathing verse from K. Dot. The track evidently caught the attention of Drake, who fired back with “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
Now it’s Drake’s move once again. Find “6:16 In LA” below.
