Kendrick Lamar's Diss Tracks Shake Industry, Jay Rock Adds Fuel to the Fire

Kendrick Lamar's recent diss onslaught has ignited a wildfire of controversy in the hip-hop realm. With three scathing diss tracks and a meticulously orchestrated rollout, Lamar has positioned himself as the dominant force in this lyrical feud. While Drake's responses showcased his lyrical prowess, Lamar's momentum seems unstoppable, drawing applause even from his former TDE comrades.

Taking center stage in this drama is Jay Rock, who didn't hold back in expressing his allegiance to Lamar on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). On May 7, he didn't just proclaim Lamar's victory but also took a jab at Drake fans, humorously dubbing the Canadian rapper the "69 God" in reference to Lamar's track "Not Like Us." Rock didn't stop there; he ridiculed Drake supporters scouring old tweets from the TDE camp, confident in dismissing their efforts as futile. "Lol old a*s tweets y'all digging up and still can't read or comprehend," he quipped, dismissing the scrutiny.

Rock's unwavering support for Lamar isn't new; he had previously lauded his Black Hippy brother's prowess after the release of Lamar's diss track "Euphoria." Asserting Lamar's dominance, Rock kept fans updated on the scorecard of the ongoing battle, firmly asserting Lamar's lead.

While Rock's X timeline serves as a testament to his steadfast support for Lamar, the rapper's decision to delete the "69 God" tweet adds an ironic twist, especially considering the scrutiny Drake fans are subjecting to Lamar's camp. Meanwhile, amidst the ongoing feud, Rock is diligently working on his upcoming album, tentatively titled "Eastside Johnny," slated for release in 2024.

In the whirlwind of diss tracks and social media jabs, Kendrick Lamar stands tall, backed by unwavering support from allies like Jay Rock, while Drake's fanbase scrambles to defend their idol amidst the storm of controversy.
