Tom Hanks had an amusing reaction after his son, Chet Hanks, broke down the ongoing Drake vs Kendrick Lamar beef. The Hollywood star known for iconic roles in films like Forrest Gump and Cast Away responded with surprise, writing, “Holy cow! These are fighting words.”
The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been making headlines recently due to personal attacks exchanged between the two rappers. The intensity of the rivalry even led to a drive-by shooting outside Drake’s residence, escalating the drama.
Chet Hanks took to Instagram to share a text message conversation between him and his father. It began with Tom Hanks asking: “Big Main, can you explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?”
In response, Chet provided a detailed and humorous explanation of the rap beef. He mentioned how Drake and J. Cole had previously declared themselves along with Kendrick as the “Big 3” in rap. However, Kendrick initiated the feud by releasing a track where he dismissed the notion, declaring, “F*** the Big 3, it’s just big ME.”
Chet then explained how the feud spiraled into personal insults. Drake took a jab at Kendrick’s height, saying, “you got small feet cuz you’re like 5 foot 5 or whatever.” Kendrick retaliated by calling Drake a “deadbeat dad” and mocking his Canadian accent. From there, things escalated, with Drake falsely accusing Kendrick of domestic abuse and Kendrick responding with even harsher allegations.
Kendrick’s diss tracks reportedly dismantled Drake’s psyche, accusing him of flirting with underage girls and hiding a child, though these claims were later proven false. However, Kendrick continued to dominate the exchange, dropping a West Coast banger that Chet described as a song that would make you “Crip walk with a stank face.”
Tom Hanks, clearly entertained by the elaborate explanation, responded, “Holy cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??”
The unexpected interaction between father and son, as well as Tom Hanks’ reaction to the intense rap rivalry, brought a humorous perspective to the heated beef between two of rap’s biggest stars.
