    It’s 100% cool to not care about “rap beef”.

    The reason this stuff is in the news is because Kendrick is a very influential artist calling out patterns of child abuse and sexual assault in the industry.

    Yes, it all came to light through “diss tracks”, but a lot of the accused behavior has been publicly visible for years and simply ignored.

    It’s getting media attention because the world has seen people abuse their fame so many times and we still let it happen. Now a modern artist is emphasizing that the most famous “rapper” is an offender and that the industry has these problems everywhere.

    Idk, I think publicly exposing a wealthy sexual predator is a good thing, and I wish people did it more often. Especially considering that his gig affords him plenty of opportunities to invite girls backstage.

      But I want to be upset that the meaningless distractions of other people aren’t the meaningless distractions I indulge in!

      I think it’s pretty interesting that after years of knowing Drake was a groomer, someone in the industry is bringing it to the spotlight. This is not an average rap beef - it actually has very little to do with rap.

      It’s crazy that you’re getting upvotes for calling your subjective opinion an objective fact, though.
