“Drake Sparks Controversy: Surprising Disses at Kendrick Lamar and Joe Budden Unleashed in ‘GIMME A HUG'”

Added on February 14, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

As we teeter on the verge of a new musical era, Drake has emerged with a track that promises to shake things up—his latest single “GIMME A HUG” from the upcoming album $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U. And let me tell you, this isn’t just another run-of-the-mill ode peppered with polished features; it’s a raw, unapologetic reflection on his tumultuous 2024, with a cheeky nod to 2025 for good measure. I mean, who wouldn’t want a peek into the mind of one of the most polarizing figures in music while he’s belting out bars without any ghostwriters hovering over his shoulder?

Drake claims he’s “very much alive” after taking a jab at Kendrick Lamar’s explosive Super Bowl Halftime Show—now that’s the kind of drama we crave! The lyrics are laced with juicy tidbits and a touch of sass, proving that while he may be the king of the Toronto scene, he’s not afraid to ignite a party or settle a few scores along the way. So, if you’re ready for some lyrical fireworks and hot takes on the music industry, buckle up—Drizzy’s got some stories to tell and I, for one, can’t wait to dive into the lyrical mayhem of this thrilling solo effort!

Drake‘s got no ghostwriters and zero vocals from PARTYNEXTDOOR on “GIMME A HUG,” one of 21 songs off of $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U. Overall, it’s just him, the music, and bars about his perspective on his turbulent 2024. Additionally, 2025 gets a shout, too. Kendrick Lamar did do his best to commit murder on national TV with his Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, according to Drake, he’s “very much alive.” That’s essentially the message he’s sending on one of his six solo songs on this collab record. Moreover, with him addressing everything in sweeping fashion, its shaping up to be one of the most popular tracks.

In part one, Drake takes credit for giving Kendrick Lamar so many critical nods at the GRAMMYs. This a sentiment The Boy’s die-hard fans have had since this beef began. “Using you for promotion, truer words had never been spoken / N****s want to see RIP me on a t-shirt like I’m Hulk Hogan / I appreciate the fans rocking with me, this is really just a small token.” After that he brings in a beat switch and changes up his flow and delivery. It’s here where he tosses the Lamar feud aside and shouts, “F*ck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit / Tryna get the party lit for the b*tches.” However, Drake does go after a consistent detractor of his, Joe Budden. “Melyssa Ford, you a legend from the 6, hate to see you with a d*ck-sucker.” Overall, it’s just good to hear him address everything on wax.

Drake “GIMME A HUG”

Quotable Lyrics:

F*ck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit
Tryna get the party lit for the b*tches
Them Nike tights is huggin’ on that a*s like they missed it
What’s up?
N****s is hating the boy for sure, the women in love
Walk in the strip club, damn, I missed you h*es, give me a hug
