Drake Hails Taylor Swift the 'Biggest Gangster in Music' in Kendrick Lamar Diss

In a second diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift gets an unusual shout-out from Drake - putting her in the middle of the rappers' crossfire.

Drake released a new song, specifically cut out to trigger the Pulitzer-winning rapper, "Taylor Made Freestyle."

Drake Hails Taylor Swift The 'Biggest Gangster in Music'

Drake roped in Swift on his rap beef against Lamar when he released "Taylor Made Freestyle," the former's second diss track against the latter.

The "Certified Lover Boy" rapper made sure that he had Swift on her side when he hailed her as the "biggest gangster in the music game." Drake referenced how Swift's release schedules impacted other artists' decisions to release their own music.

"But now we gotta wait a f---ing week 'cause Taylor Swift is your new Top/And if you 'bout to drop, she gotta approve/This girl really 'bout to make you act like you not in a feud," Drake rapped. "She tailor-made your schedule with Ant, you out of the loop/Hate all you corporate industry puppets, I'm not in the mood."

As if Swift's mention wasn't enough, Drake also doubled down on dragging Lamar to filth.

"You know, I moved my album when she dropped, I said that already. You know, she 'bout to milli' run through a Milly Rock on your head top. She got the whole pgLang [Lamar's company] on mute like that Beyoncé challenge, y'all boys quiet for the weekend," he further said in the song.

Notably, Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" included AI-generated sung parts from Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.

Drake also took aim at Lamar's affiliation with Swift on his first diss track, "Push Ups," where he mocked him in his verse on Swift's 2015 remix "Bad Blood."

"Maroon 5 need a verse you better make it witty/You only need a verse for the Swifties," he rapped.

Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar Relationship

Swift and Lamar have collaborated in the past for "Bad Blood." In 2023, the two linked-up again when Swift re-released 1989 (Taylor's Version).

In a post, Swift raved about Lamar and his friendship with the rapper.

"Watching @kendricklamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him," she wrote on Instagram. "The reality that Kendrick would go back in and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work I'm so proud of is surreal and bewildering to me."
