The reason this stuff is in the news is because Kendrick is a very influential artist calling out patterns of child abuse and sexual assault in the industry.
Yes, it all came to light through "diss tracks", but a lot of the accused behavior has been publicly visible for years and simply ignored.
It's getting media attention because the world has seen people abuse their fame so many times and we still let it happen. Now a modern artist is emphasizing that the most famous "rapper" is an offender and that the industry has these problems everywhere.
It started as beef but I don’t even see how it’s that meaningless at this point tbh. It’s kind of an ignorant “eugh, I don’t like these rappers!!” thing to say.
Kendrick’s often covered meaningful topics in his music, including how his mother was molested and generational trauma in the black community.
So it makes sense that he’s sickened by Drake’s actions, and it’s actually good that someone with a platform is calling him out on it and drawing attention to the topic.
Idk, I think publicly exposing a wealthy sexual predator is a good thing, and I wish people did it more often. Especially considering that his gig affords him plenty of opportunities to invite girls backstage.
