I wasn't reading the newspapers, I guess, so I missed this (to me, incredible) story about T.I. beefing with his own son / rapper King Harris because... as far as i can understand it (and I feel like I'm missing something because how is this real), his son claims to know all about the streets, and T.I. had the same reaction I did, which is to say, what streets??? you're T.I.'s son (!!!)...

And things got so heated they came to blows!!!

“King, have you ever woke up with a roach on your face,” the Bankhead rep can be heard asking, before insisting that his son’s claims are off base. “Alright then! You don’t know what you talking ’bout,” the veteran rap star added. Undeterred, King offered to show T.I., his mother, Tiny Harris, and others in the room a presumable drug den in a neighborhood he frequents as proof of his affiliation with the streets. “Do y’all wanna go to the bando in my neighborhood."

TI's son is trying to argue that he knows about life on the streets because he lives in a neighborhood!!!! And then, here's the best part-- TI's son starts saying actually he was raised at his grandma's house (which I guess is closer to the streets than TI's place), at which point TI is like...

King’s parents continued to point out his childish habits, alleging that he “cried like a baby” to be with his grandmother and would “hold [his] breath and throw tantrums” in order to get his way. Adding insult to injury, Tiny revealed that King’s grandmother would allow him to “suck a pacifier until he was 12 years old,” an accusation he didn’t deny, but insists is only part of the story.

This is the part that's wild to me-- this is really kind of exhibit A why you can't have rap beef with your parents, man. You can't have rap beef with anyone that changed your diaper. I mean, I thought that would be understood. I didn't think you'd need to put that on a billboard-- I thought we all knew that in our hearts. How are you going to have rap beef with your mom, when she's like "remember when you were in my lap singing the hokey pokey, gangsta?" Oh my god! How is this even debatable???

Here's what King had to say after his dad put him in a headlock:

They ain’t gonna tell you everything. They trying to hide it, sugarcoat it. He capping. He know I stand on business, he know that. Ain’t no n*gga ever pull my card ever in life, I stand on business. You drop me in your hood, I stand on business. You wanna hide it for the world, I’ma put it out there for them to see. You ain’t have me put up nowhere, ni**a. You ain’t have me behind a mansion, I was outside doing what I wanted do.”

TI had to tell his little boy "boy, you can't do nothing with me!", and then the kid went onto Instagram to post about it! I mean... this isn't the funniest rap beef I've ever seen because I have listened to The Story of Adidon more than once, I have listened many times, the king is the king. But this is ... this one is a lot, to me. And I mean, if you're going to have rap beef with your dad, you can't let your dad (who is TI) put you in a Figure Four on camera! There are rules! We are a people of rules!!!

The Most Unforgettable Diss Tracks in Hip-Hop History

With Kendrick Lamar taking shots at his rvials in a leaked verse, we revisit some of the best diss tracks of all time.

Noah A. McGee

PublishedSeptember 10, 2023

We’ve already listed some of the most memorable beefs in hip-hop history, so it’s only natural we highlight the most important part of feuds in rap. Diss tracks.

A leaked verse from Kendrick Lamar heard the Compton MC take shots at Big Sean, French Montana, and Jay Electronica. While it’s from 2018, it could be enough to rile up one of his rivals and get them to respond. Then we’ll have a full-fledged beef.

The songs listed below are some of the most ruthless, cold-blooded, cruel, callous, and ferocious diss tracks of all time. Yes, there’s a lot more, but these are the ones that came to mind first.

2pac - “Hit ‘Em Up”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-41qC3w3UUkU&start=02Pac - Hit ‘Em Up (Dirty) (Music Video) HD

I honestly don’t care what song you consider to be the second-best diss track of all time, as long as you have “Hit ‘Em Up” at number one, we’re good. Nobody has gone at another artist (and label) as hard as Pac. Some of the lines he said in the song are not even appropriate to repeat. The video for the track makes it even worse. This man said, “My .44 make sure all y’all kids don’t grow.” My goodness.

3 / 22

List slides

Nas - “Ether”

When the title of your diss track becomes a verb, you’ve done something right. Nas just straight-up clowned Jay on this track, going at him in every which way. Hov stans claim Jay won the feud because they claim “Takeover” is a better “song,” but Nas easily won the lyrical war between the two. The line that takes the cake for me is, “What you think you gettin’ girl now cause of your looks/ Negro, please.”

4 / 22

List slides

Ice Cube - “No Vaseline”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-rSK8jTzl1Kw&start=0No Vaseline

One of the rawest tracks on this list. Ice Cube just destroyed N.W.A. (who was already on the way out). The group didn’t go hard enough on “100 Miles and Runnin’” and they paid for it on a 5-minute diss track by Cube. The Death Certificate rapper later revealed that he never expected him to diss and that his beef with the group was with Jerry Heller, the manager of Ruthless Records. But when his former group members went at him, he had no choice but to bomb them.

Eazy-E - “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-fJuapp9SORA&start=0Eazy-E - Real Muthaphuckkin G’s (Music Video)

Dr. De’s exit from N.W.A. left a rift between him and Eazy E. Dr. Dre kicked off the war of words on “Fuck Wit Dr Day,” but Eazy E ended it with “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s.” He assassinated Dre’s whole character on this track and shut down the notion that he didn’t write his own rhymes (anymore).

6 / 22

List slides

Jay-Z - “Takeover”

While “Ether” takes the cake, “Takeover” was a great diss nonetheless. Hov was on top of the game and he made it known by constantly saying, “We runnin’ this rap shit,” and he wasn’t wrong.

7 / 22

List slides

Dr. Dre - “Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’)

Prior to “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s” destroying Dre, the Compton producer initially got the best of Eazy-E on “Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody’s Ceberatin).” He even had his protégé get in on the action, aiming sum bars at Dre’s former boss. The music video is just as ruthless, with Dre hiring an actor to play a comedic version of Eazy.

Pusha T - “Story of Adidon”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-w4XH3LYleDA&start=0Pusha T - The Story of Adidon [Drake Diss]

“You are hiding a child.” That’s what ended the beef right there. Pusha T did some hardcore journalism on this track and revealed things about Drake’s personal life that even hardcore Drizzy fans did not know about. Pusha T was just heartless on this track going at the Canadian rapper’s mom, dad, baby momma, and best friend.

Drake - “Back to Back”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-72ykBvPOIc0&start=0Back To Back

What rapper can say that their diss track was Grammy-nominated? On top of being a great diss toward Meek Mill, Drake made a banger of a song. This single ran the summer of 2015 and had everybody rapping, “Trigger fingers turned to Twitter fingers/You getting bodied by a singin’ nigga.”

10 / 22

List slides

Common - “The Bitch In Yoo”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-cBVqGYPe1Qs&start=0The Bitch In Yoo

It’s hard for rap fans to see now, but boy did Common have no chill back in the day. Common was surgical in his diss of Ice Cube on “The Bitch In Yoo.” The track was in response to Mack 10's “Westside Slaughterhouse,” featuring Cube, and was one of the rare L’s the former N.W.A. rapper took.

Gucci Mane - “Truth”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-sVgd0pIZ8fQ&start=0Gucci Mane - Truth (Official Music Video)

No, Gucci Mane may not be as lyrical as other MCs on this list. But I guarantee he’s more intimidating. Guwop made it much deeper than rap on this track and took shots at Young Jeezy’s entire life.

12 / 22

50 Cent - “Back Down”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-4iPJ3gSaPrI&start=050 Cent - Back Down (Official Music Video)

The beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule is well-documented. There are a plethora of songs where each MC is going at each other, but this one is easily the best. This track was the beginning of the end of Ja Rule’s career as a major player in the hip-hop game.

Notorious B.I.G. - “Kick in the Door”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-78SV9tguyVM&start=0The Notorious B.I.G. - Kick in the Door (Official Audio)

While this track was released just months after he died, it’s still one of the best diss tracks out. Biggie went at every New York MC who felt they had a legitimate claim as the King of New York. That included Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Nas, and anyone else who stepped to the plate. Biggie destroyed them all on this track.

14 / 22

List slides

Boogie Down Productions - “The Bridge is Over”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-r0Sy4twXSn0&start=0BDP - The Bridge Is Over

We ain’t forget about one of the most OG diss tracks, “The Bridge is Over.” During the height of the Bridge Wars between South Bronx’s Boogie Down Productions and Queen’s Juice Crew, KRS-One essentially ended the war with this one track.

15 / 22

List slides

LL Cool J - “To Da Break of Dawn”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-O4pQ-JDQ4l4&start=0To Da Break Of Dawn

First of all, I love the cover of Mama Said Knock You Out. It perfectly represents the energy LL Cool J was bringing on this particular track. He was going at countless rap veterans simultaneously, including Ice-T, Kool Moe Dee, and MC Hammer

16 / 22

List slides

DJ Quik - “Dollaz + Sense”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-x8Y3qoIPMZA&start=0Dollaz + Sense

Do not let the hair fool you! DJ Quik will go at you and everyone you care about on a diss track. In one of the many songs aimed at rival Compton rapper MC Eiht, Quik did not hold back his disdain for the Compton’s Most Wanted rapper.

17 / 22

Canibus - “2nd Round K.O.”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-z63cQKWlDgQ&start=0Canibus - Second Round K.O.

Much respect for LL Cool J. He’s one of the legends in this hip-hop game. But I think Canibus got you with this one. After going at each other on the same song, “4,3,2,1,” Canibus came up with a great diss with a dope music video that featured the legendary Mike Tyson.

Mobb Deep - “Drop a Gem On ‘Em”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-5ACMDW42eOI&start=0Mobb Deep - Drop A Gem On ‘Em

Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” is etched in history as the greatest diss track of all time, but did you know that Mobb Deep responded? They weren’t the focus of the track, but Pac did take a shot at Prodigy when he said, “Don’t one of you niggas have sickle cell or something?!” The Queen duo did not take too kindly to that line and came with a good diss of their own with “Drop a Gem On ‘Em.”

The Game - 300 Bars N Runnin

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-b0iWg3iuS5o&start=0The Game | 300 Bars N Runnin (FULL VERSION)

This is the longest diss track of all time. If someone kind finds another one longer, then send it my way. The Game was not happy after 50 Cent continued to take shots after a press conference that was supposed to squash their beef. The Compton rapper had a lot to say on this damn near 15-minute track and made sure that fans heard everything he had to say.

Freddie Gibbs - “Real”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-uHx4VlOJDes&start=0Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Real (Official) - Piñata

Man, a lot of people don’t remember this track and that’s okay. Although Freddie Gibbs was well into his career, he was just coming into his own and his 2014 album with Madlib, Piñata, really made people take notice. On “Real,” Gibbs went at the neck of his former boss, Young Jeezy, and let out all of his emotions and frustrations.

21 / 22

Kool Moe Dee - “How Ya Like Me Now”

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-A9_nAZ3VEA0&start=0Kool Moe Dee - How Ya Like Me Now (Official Music Video)

I gotta give respect to the OG. Not the most lyrically complex diss, but it got the job done and was pretty good (for the time). He went at LL Cool J on this song, claiming that he stole his rap style and was disrespecting the legends of the genre.

Who Is Drake’s Son and Why Did He Keep Him a Secret?

Maya KhamalaJuly 5, 2022

Drake has too many titles to fit on a regular business card: rapper, actor, philanthropist, fashion influencer, and wildly popular Instagrammer. But there was one new title that shocked his fans and media alike, when he added “father” to the list.

The Canadian superstar nearly caused an Instagram riot in March 2020 when he posted pictures of his then three-year-old son, Adonis Graham, for the first time. The adorable pics sent hungry fans into a veritable meltdown.

While Adonis was born in the fall of 2017, it took nearly a year for Drake to reference his new son. Up until 2018, Drake and his baby mama, French artist Sophie Brussaux, decided to keep their parenthood a secret, in part due to paternity questions but also to protect their child from the media.

Who Is Drake’s Son, Adonis?

Adonis Graham was born on October 11th, 2017. His middle name is “Mahbed,” which some fans speculate is a reference to Drake’s hit “God’s Plan,” since his name sounds like the lyrics: “I only love my bed and my mama.”

Brussaux became pregnant with Adonis almost immediately after she was spotted with the Certified Lover Boy rapper in January 2017. This means that as of June 2022, Drake’s son is already 4 years old — going on five! And already he has a reputation as a “Young Stunna.”

As many fans have pointed out, Adonis doesn’t look much like either of his dark-haired parents. With his gorgeous curly blond locks and blue eyes, he takes more after Drake’s mother, Sandi Graham.

Drake Took A Paternity Test Before Going Public

Drake was initially surprised when Brussaux broke the news of her pregnancy and asked for a paternity test. But things became tricky. In an interview with Rap Radar, Drake shares that he wasn’t sure he was Adonis’ father for quite some time, especially since the first DNA test results were “ruined in transit.”

At the time, Drake’s rep commented, “If it is, in fact, Drake’s child, which he does not believe, he would do the right thing by the child.”

The 35-year-old rapper recalled, “I was in a really weird pending situation where I didn’t want to go tell the world that that was my son and it wasn’t.”

To make sure, Drake took a second DNA test, explaining, “He’s a stunning child you know, with the brightest blue eyes and at the time I was like ‘I don’t know.’”

At the time, Drake’s reps suspected Brussaux of using Drake to get into the US. “She’s one of many women claiming he got them pregnant,” they said.

A second DNA test finally confirmed, however, that Drake was indeed the father to young Adonis. Drake stepped up and took his new dad role on with ease, even dedicating his notable Artist of the Decade Billboard Music Award in 2021 to his son.

Though Drake is often seen courtside with Adonis, the young boy currently lives with his mother Sophie Brussaux in Paris, France.

Drake, 35, splits his time between his properties in Toronto and California, and judging from the numerous video posts of him and his son together, the two share lots of father and son time.

Drake Songs Referencing His Son, Adonis

Drake, who finally received confirmation of his paternity not long before the release of his 2018 album, Scorpion, has mentioned his son in numerous songs.

Reports of Drake’s son didn’t surface until 2018 when rival rapper, Pusha T, called Drake out for his secret son on his track, “The Story of Adidon.”

In his track “Emotionless,” Drake replies, “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world/ I was hiding the world from my kid/ From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate/ Until you starin’ at your seed, you can never relate.”

Additionally, he mentions having a son in the lyrics of another track off the same album, titled “March 14” about the complex yet joyful day he found out he was a dad.

“Yesterday morning was crazy / I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe / That s**t is in stone, sealed and signed / She not my lover like Billie Jean, but the kid is mine,” he rapped.

Who Is Sophie Brussaux, The Mother of Drake’s Son?

Artist Sophie Brussaux is a 32-year-old retired adult film star formerly known as Rosée Divine. She was born and raised in France and now paints full-time. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Milan, and London, among others, under the name Sophie B.

She was first spotted with Canadian rapper Drake in January 2017. Drake and Sophie’s son was born just nine months after the two were first seen together.

Drake even references Brussaux in his songs. The most obvious mention is on “When To Say When,” off of his Dark Lane Demo Tapes,when he rapped, “Baby mama fluke, but I love her for who she is.”

He also seemingly references her on his 2020 track, “Greece.” Drake raps, “Speedboats, baby, in Nikki Beach,” about Nikki Beach Worldwide, a luxury beach club brand that has locations around the world, including in Greece. Nikki Beach just happens to be a frequent spot for Sophie Brussaux. Think what you will.

As for how Drake and Sophie Brussaux met, they reportedly crossed paths while the rapper was on his Boy Meets World tour in 2017. During a stop in Amsterdam, he was spotted having dinner with Sophie and a group of other friends.

The pair were never in a relationship, and during a 2018 appearance on HBO’s The Shop, Drake confessed that Brussaux had “never met” his mother before she became pregnant.

In spite of all the drama involving DNA tests, Drake has expressed a desire to be good co-parents.

After the initial rockiness following the pregnancy announcement, Drake and Brussaux are finally in a place where they can smoothly co-parent Adonis.

By October 2019, Drake was helping host Adonis’ second birthday party. And based on the star’s most recent social media posts bragging about his son, it appears that this modern yet beautiful family is finally on positive terms.

Drake and Sophie Brussaux are not together, nor have they ever been a couple — though, unsurprisingly, there have been rumors.

RELATED: The Truth Behind Drake And Sophie Brussaux’s Co-Parenting Will Change The Way You Look At Them

Of their relationship, Drake has said, “I’m still learning to communicate with a woman who, you know, we’ve had our moments.”

“I do want to be able to explain to my son what happened,” he continued, “But I don’t have any desire for him to not love his mother. I don’t ever want the world to be angry at his mother. We have found ourselves in a situation and we are both equally responsible. Now, I’m just really excited to be a great father.”

He added that, no matter what, he has “unconditional love” for the mother of his child.

The “Started From the Bottom” star, who is well known for his on-and-off-again relationship with Rihanna from 2009 to 2016, has referenced their epic Drake and Rihannalove story in every one of his studio albums. When presenting Rihanna with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award in 2016, he said, “she’s a woman I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old.”

Speaking of memorable Drake quotes, he has elaborated on his relationship with Rihanna often.

RELATED: The Powerful Reason Why Rihanna and Drake Had To Stay Apart

“As life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons,” he said, “I end up in this situation where I don’t have the fairy tale [of] ‘Drake started a family with Rihanna, [it’s] so perfect.’ It looks so good on paper [and] I wanted it too at one time.”

Drake is now past seeking his perfect family narrative, and as far as anyone knows, he is currently single. His main focus is his music, and, of course, Adonis.

How Is Drake’s Relationship With His Son?

Adonis has been making a splash on Drake’s Instagram over the years. And the bilingual boy has been working on his dad’s French skills. Avid basketball fans, the pair occasionally hit the basketball court together. In May 2022, the Canadian star praised his son’s skill after he managed to score four out of five shots.

“Yo, where’d you learn to shoot like that?” Drake asked. “I don’t know,” Adonis replied, shrugging adorably.

RELATED: Here’s Why Tupac’s “Dear Mama” Will Teach You To Love Your Family Unconditionally

“I want to be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son,” Drake told Young Money Radio With Lil Wayne in 2021.

“I don’t want to feel like just because of a life choice I made to be, you know, a ‘celebrity’ that I gotta like, you know, make everybody live under this blanket.”
