"I still rock with Drake" - Steph Curry reaffirms loyalty to Canadian rapper despite Kendrick Lamar's warning in diss track
Steph Curry apparently isn't keeping his family away from Drake. Despite rapper Kendrick Lamar's plea for Curry to avoid his rap rival, the Golden State Warriors sharpshooter stated in an interview that he still supports the Canadian rapper.
In the track “Meet the Grahams,” Kendrick Lamar advised Steph Curry to keep his family away from Drake to avoid a negative image, alleging that the rapper had bad habits.
During a GQ interview, Curry was questioned about the Kendrick Lamar/Drake feud, and the Team USA starting point guard promptly expressed his support for Drake.
“I’m a big Drake guy. I’ve been for a long time,” Curry said. “I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that, but I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely.”
Drake shares a close relationship with the Curry family.
Besides being good friends with Steph Curry, the Canadian rapper also has a connection with Ayesha Curry’s cousin Mark Graham, who works for OVO.
Kendrick Lamar urged Steph Curry to keep his family away from Drake
In “Meet the Grahams,” Kendrick Lamar mentioned LeBron James and Steph Curry and warned them to keep their families away from Drake.
In the song, Lamar advised those known for maintaining good family values, including the Golden State Warriors star, to distance themselves from Drake, labeling him a gambling addict with “sick thoughts,” a body shamer and more.
Lamar rapped:
“Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away, hey, Curry, keep the family away/ To anybody that embody the love for they kids, keep the family away / They lookin' at you too if you standin' by him, keep the family away / I'm lookin' to shoot through any pervert that lives, keep the family safe.”
The Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud started with Lamar's verse on "Like That" from the Future and Metro Boomin album. Lamar's verse referenced J. Cole and Drake’s verse from “First Person Shooter,” saying "Motherf**k the big three, n***a it's just big me!"
Drake fired back with "Push Ups," followed by "Taylor Made Freestyle," which included AI-generated verses from Tupac and Snoop Dogg. Tupac's estate threatened to sue Drake over the use of Tupac's voice, leading to the track's removal from social media.
Kendrick Lamar retaliated with "Euphoria," a nearly six-and-a-half-minute track filled with allegations against Drake, including critiques of his rapping skills, use of AI, appearance, racial identity and parenting.
Drake countered with "Family Matters," accusing Lamar of abuse and infidelity in his relationship with his fiancée. Lamar responded with "Meet the Grahams," targeting Drake's family and parenting.
The feud continued with Drake's release of "The Heart Part 6," accusing Lamar of being a "predator" and referencing Lamar's personal life. Lamar's response, "Not Like Us," was seen as the final blow in the dispute.
