Drake has reacted to an alleged diss track from Kendrick Lamar that’s been billed as a response to Drizzy’s shots on “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50).”
OVO Hush, an associate of the 6 God’s, posted a snippet of the leaked song on Instagram on Monday (April 15) and claimed that it’s real, despite suggestions it was AI-generated.

“When you find out this is real don’t forget how trash it was as an A.I. [shrug emoji],” he wrote in his caption.
Drake jumped in the comments section of the post and simply replied with a laughing face emoji.
The ongoing Hip Hop “civil war” intensified yesterday when a 90-second clip of a song purportedly recorded by Kendrick Lamar and aimed at Drake leaked online.
The song featured lyrics such as: “I dominated your favorite rapper you idolize/ My silence is enough to make n-ggas apologize” and “Now that it’s direct, it’s leaked disses from burner pages and all/ Insecure behavior from n-ggas y’all call Gods.”

Many listeners immediately thought the track was fake and created using artificial intelligence, something that was seemingly confirmed by rapper Daylyt who said: “Ps that’s 1000% ai.”
DJ Daji, who has produced a number of hits for Kendrick, also wrote: “Man we live in a weird time, AI diss tracks!! we need Google authentications to make sure all this shit is real or not lol.”
While Drake has fired back at Kendrick’s “Like That” verse on the not-yet-officially-released “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50),” he, too, has been bitten by AI fakes.
A second alleged diss track from Drizzy called “Hi Whitney” — a nod to Kendrick’s wife — emerged online earlier this week but was later confirmed by Drake himself to be fake.

Akademiks said on his Rumble livestream: “He hit me. I guess when I was playing that ‘Hi Whitney’ shit, he said that’s AI. He said 100 percent AI, so I’m gonna take his word. But I ain’t gonna lie to you, that shit is slick.
“That’s really the Drake bag I want him to get into. It’s not necessarily that track. That’s the bag I want him to get into. The slick talk but direct talk over some smooth beat.”
