"What I take from Drake is, I don't hear too many people coming at Kendrick Lamar. But everybody always trying to come at Drake."

Over the years, Drake has gotten into beefs with multiple rappers. The first was in 2015, when he and Meek Mill exchanged songs aimed at each other. Many agreed that Drake won the feud after dropping his hit "Back to back."

Aside from Meek Mill, Drake's other notable beef in the music world was with Pusha T. The New York based rapper took shots at Drake and told the world about his son Adonis.
