When this is in the realm of their careers, the rewards are often worth the gamble. However, not all risk-takers are as lucky when it comes to placing (literal) bets.

More recently, he has dragged Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge’s famous daughter-in-law, Sofia Richie, into his ongoing feud with the rapper.

The highly publicised feud – primarily between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, kicked up a gear when Lamar released a diss track in May titled “Not Like Us” in which he calls Drake a “certified paedophile”, and tells listeners that he “likes his women young”, as reported by TMZ. And Lamar isn’t the only musician to target Drake’s previous relationships this year.

Like many rappers in the hip-hop world, these two – arguably two of the biggest stars in the genre – have unsurprisingly been in a feud that’s over a decade long. In 2023, Drake’s first solo single of the year “Search and Rescue” featured an audio clip of Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, speaking to her mum Kris Jenner about their divorce.

He’s a country star but also a pop sensation. He got cancelled, but broke records at the same time. He was caught making racist comments and his apology was pretty weak.
