Love Kendrick. Drake sucks. But could this be doxxing? It’s probably public information where Drake lives and Kendrick didn’t say to do anything. Just showed a google maps pic. Drake wouldn’t win a lawsuit over this.

Everyone knows where Drake lives in Toronto it's no secret. He raps about it and named songs after the street so at worst he doxxed himself. He posts videos of his property from time to time. Etc

I doubt it would lead to anything legally. A similar thing happened with Sarah Palin and Gabby Giffords. Palin's campaign sent out fliers with crosshairs over certain districts held by Democrats that Republicans wanted to win. One of these was targeted at Gabby Gifford's district and shortly after, someone shot her in the head. Nothing happened to Palin over it.

I mean, this ain't shit...

Not even going back to rappers killing each other, 50 cent once did a diss music video on DJ Khalid that's 1,000x worse

A picture of Google maps is nothing compared to physically staking out another rappers mom's house, and sneaking up inches away from her while she's sleeping and going through her work desk.

I think Kendricks diss is a reference to that tho.

I was going to comment on how Hit 'em up is a better diss track but damn, Fifty is scary

It's weird because people occasionally post the less evil petty shit he does to fuck with people and everyone talks about how cool/funny he is...

They don't get that he's a legit psychopath who toys with people for fun.

Like, that shits his hobby. And he's good at it, he's been doing it his whole life.

It's not like he choose to be like that, his entire childhood was fucked, and fucked up childhood make fucked up adults.

Dude was selling crack and carrying straps before he was a teenager.

50 is legitimately "from the streets". Which is why after that video, Khalid shut the fuck up. Getting DJ Khalid to stop talking is a Herculean task.

I wouldn’t call doxxing, it’s definitely instigation
