Drake has hit back at Kendrick Lamar's accusation of him liking ''em young'.
The rappers have been releasing diss tracks targeted at one another left right and center over the last few weeks and in Lamar's third diss track in 36 hours, he decided to brand Drake a 'paedophile'.
Lamar first hit out at the Canadian rapper in his song 'Like That' featuring Metro Boomin, also taking aim at J Cole. Drake swiftly responded with 'Push Ups', and 'Taylor Made Freestyle', which led to Lamar responding with 'Euphoria'. Then on Saturday (May 4), Drake released 'Family Matters', accusing the 'All the Stars' musician of domestic violence and Lamar then slammed the 'One Dance' singer for allegedly having a secret daughter in a diss track titled 'Meet The Grahams'.

In 'Not Like Us', which was released early Sunday morning (May 5), Lamar then said: "Say Drake, I hear you like ’em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any b***h that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your little sister from him."
He went on to reference Drake's album Certified Lover Boy, by rapping: "Certified Lover Boy? Certified paedophiles."
He continued: "Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor."
And it's not taken long for Drake to respond.
In 'The Heart Part 6' - released late May 5 - Drake hits back against the accusations made in Lamar's last diss track.
He accuses his fellow musician of spreading lies and says he even expected certain tales to have come out of Lamar's mouth: "Speakin’ of anything with a child, let’s get to that now / This Epstein angle was the s**t I expected / TikTok videos you collected and dissected / Instead of being on some dis-direct s**t / You rather f**king grab your pen and misdirect s**t."
Drake also cleared up the accusation of being a 'certified paedophile'.
"I never been with no one underage but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with / Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected.
"If I was f**king young girls, I promise I’d a been arrested / I’m way too famous for this s**t you just suggested."
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown even gets a mention - the actor having said in a 2018 Access Hollywood interview she and Drake texted when she was 14 years old.
Drake rapped: "Only f**kin’ with Whitneys, not Millie Bobby Browns, I’d never look twice at no teenager."
Drake added he thinks Lamar is accusing him of being a paedophile because of his own alleged childhood trauma, accusing him of being 'obsessed' and 'excessive' in his allegations.
I think it's safe to say it's probably not going to be long before Lamar releases another track in response, however, how long the to-ing and fro-ing is set to go on for, who knows.
UNILAD has contacted Drake and Kendrick Lamar's representatives for comment.
