In the wake of Drake's legal battle with Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's track "Not Like Us," emerging rapper Hakeem Prime has released two diss tracks, "CTRL+C" and the recent "Meet The Duckworths," targeting Kendrick, his mother, and Drake's son Adonis.
Drake's amended complaint, spanning 107 pages and filed on April 16, 2025, accuses Universal Music Group of defamation and betrayal following the success of Kendrick Lamar's diss track. It highlights various key aspects including violent incidents at Drake's home, false allegations depicted in the track, UMG's alleged motives for promoting the diss, the Super Bowl performance, online campaigns, and lack of support from UMG.
Hakeem Prime's "Meet The Duckworths" a diss track serves as an open letter directed at Kendrick, his upbringing, and his public image. It communicates messages warning Kendrick about exploitation, critiques his mother Paula, and offers advice to Drake's son to navigate challenges and avoid manipulation in the industry.
With thematic elements revolving around the exploitation of pain, reflections on childhood upbringing, and generational advice, Hakeem Prime's diss tracks address industry dynamics, personal growth, and societal issues within the rap feud landscape, offering a nuanced perspective on fame, legacy, and artistic authenticity.
