Drake: The Most Dissed Rapper of 2024
Drake has faced an unprecedented wave of disses in 2024, making him arguably the most targeted rapper of the year. With numerous high-profile artists taking shots at him, it seems like every other month brings a new track aimed at the Toronto superstar. From lyrical jabs to full-on diss tracks, Drake’s name has been on the lips of many of his rivals in the industry.
One of the most notable diss tracks this year came from Kendrick Lamar, whose song “Not Like Us” earned him a 2024 BET award. Kendrick did not hold back, targeting Drake’s reputation and even calling out members of his crew. This track, along with Kendrick’s other release “euphoria,” escalated their ongoing rivalry to new heights.
Drake’s clashes weren’t limited to just Kendrick Lamar. A$AP Rocky joined the fray with “Show Of Hands,” a track released in April that many fans interpreted as taking direct shots at Drake. The Weeknd also took part in the ongoing saga with “Thank God I Never Signed My Life Away,” where he threw shade at Drake without directly naming him.
In response to the growing number of disses, Drake dropped his own tracks aimed at his rivals. His song “Push Ups,” aimed at Kendrick, was one of his first releases in 2024, followed by “Taylor Made Freestyle” featuring A.I. 2Pac & Snoop Dogg, which continued the back-and-forth. He also flipped Kendrick’s style with “The Heart Pt. 6,” using the same timestamp strategy Kendrick is known for.
Even Kanye West (YE) joined in, jumping on a remix of “Like That” with Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick, where he took shots at both Drake and J. Cole. The trend of targeting Drake became so prevalent that even underground artists joined in, making him the centerpiece of hip-hop’s ongoing lyrical battles.
Drake’s resilience in the face of all this has been remarkable. Despite being the most dissed rapper of 2024, he continues to stay at the forefront of the music scene, dropping new songs and features while navigating the turbulent waters of hip-hop rivalries. Whether you love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Drake remains a dominant force, even if it means being the most dissed rapper of the year.
