Kendrick Lamar responds to Drake with diss track Euphoria in escalating feud

Euphoria is the latest in the hip-hop heavyweights’ fight via songs, which has now drawn in some of the biggest names in rap

Kendrick Lamar has released a new diss track against Drake titled Euphoria – the latest in a long-running feud between the two hip-hop heavyweights which was reignited earlier this year and has since ballooned into a “civil war” among rap’s upper echelons. Later that month, Drake dropped another diss, Taylor Made Freestyle, which incorporated AI technology to imitate the voices of Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur criticising Lamar. Released on Instagram, the song quickly drew ire, including from Shakur’s estate, which sent a cease and desist letter calling the track “a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time”.
