As his public rap feud continues to spiral, Drake is addressing some long-held speculation.
The Grammy Award winner, 37, fired back at Kendrick Lamar for calling him a ‘certified pedophile’ in a recent diss track, responding with his own song ‘The Heart Part 6’ on Sunday.
‘I never been with no one underage, but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with,’ he sings on the track.
‘Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected / If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested / I’m way too famous for this shit you just suggested,’ he continues.
Later in the song, he says his ‘is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list.’

Lamar, 36, previously dropped his diss tracks ‘Meet the Grahams’ and ‘Not Like Us’, both containing some serious allegations about the Canadian rapper
Drake also name-dropped Lamar’s fiancée Whitney Alford, as well as actress Millie Bobby Brown, with whom his friendship raised eyebrows in 2018, when she was 14 and he was 31.
‘I’m your baby mama’s screen saver,’ he raps. ‘Only f***kin’ with Whitneys, not Millie Bobby Browns, I’d never look twice at no teenager.’

‘Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young / You better not ever go to cell block one / To any b**** that talk to him and they in love / Just make sure you hide your lil’ sister from him,’ he raps on ‘Not Like Us’.
The Pulitzer Prize winner also takes aim at Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) crew, including Baka Not Nice, who served time for human trafficking and assault before signing to OVO Sound.
‘And Baka got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,’ sings Lamar before ending the verse: ‘Why you trollin’ like a bitch? Ain’t you tired? / Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor.’
Brown, 20, called Drake a ‘great friend and a great role model’ in 2018, revealing that they text they ‘miss’ each other.
She previously explained that he ‘invited me to his concert’ the year before in Australia. ‘And now we talk all the time. I ask his advice,’ said Brown.
The Stranger Things star said Drake gives her advice ‘about boys, he helps me.’

After meeting at his 2017 concert in Australia, Brown said Drake gives her advice ‘about boys, he helps me.’ Drake also appeared to address the speculation on his track ‘Another Late Night’ last year
After her comments sparked concern, Brown responded with a statement defending their friendship.
‘Why u gotta make a lovey friendship ur headline? U guys are weird… for real,’ she wrote at the time.
Brown added, ‘I’m lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance.’
Drake also appeared to address the speculation on his track ‘Another Late Night’ last year, taking a more pointed approach.
‘Weirdos in my comments talkin’ ’bout some Millie Bobby, look / Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’ / Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes / Open up that s***, it’s jaw droppin’, really shockin’, ayy,’ he sang.
Drake and Lamar’s recently reignited feud comes after the pair was originally friends, collaborating and touring together between 2011 and 2013.
