The barbs have drawn attention among audiences well beyond the usual rap and hip hop devotees.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been locked in an escalating war of words in the world of hip hop.- A long-simmering feud between rap titans Drake and Kendrick Lamar exploded into allegations of paedophilia, abuse and infidelity over the weekend, sending shockwaves through the world of hip hop and beyond.

“Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young / You better not ever go to cell block one,” said Lamar in his track Not Like Us, in which he specifically raps about “certified paedophiles”.
