Taylor Swift has become involved in the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The two rappers have been battling it out, with Taylor being dragged into the middle as the main focus. One of them even called her "the biggest gangster".

Drake has surprised everyone by releasing a song dedicated to Swift, even including her name in the title, possibly to provoke Lamar.

Lamar, who is 36 years old, formed a friendship with Swift more than ten years ago when she expressed her admiration for his music. She even showcased her fandom by flawlessly reciting all the lyrics to his popular track "Backseat Freestyle" in a video on social media.

Lamar, a highly respected and successful Hip Hop artist, surprised everyone in 2015 by breaking his rule of not recording commercial pop songs. He made an exception for Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" remix, showing his admiration for her music.

It is rumored that Lamar and Swift have maintained their friendship since then, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by fellow rapper Drake.

Their recent feud began when Lamar, Future, and A$AP Rocky released diss tracks against Drake last month, causing a stir in the Hip Hop community. This came as a surprise to many, as Drake and Lamar were previously friends.

Swift is now deeply involved in a fallout, although the reason behind it remains unclear.

Drake responded to Lamar with a diss track titled “Push Ups” on April 13th. In a surprising move, Drake praised Swift as the "biggest gangster" in his song, rather than Lamar.

The 37-year-old rapper recently praised Taylor Swift in his new track called “Taylor Made Freestyle.” This song was released shortly after another track where he made fun of Kendrick Lamar for collaborating with Swift on “Bad Blood.”

In the track “Push Ups,” Drake, whose real name is Audrey Drake Graham, rapped about Maroon 5 needing a verse and advised them to make it clever. He also mentioned that all you need is a verse for the Swifties.

On the new song, Drake praises the ERAS Tour star. He acknowledges Taylor Swift as the new Top and mentions that artists need her approval before releasing new music. Drake admires Taylor Swift, calling her the biggest gangster in the music industry. He even rescheduled his album release to avoid clashing with hers. Taylor Swift's influence is so strong that she can make other artists stay silent for the weekend.

Swift, meanwhile has put out a “diss track” of her own called “thanK you aIMee” said to be aimed at Kim Kardashian, who has shed over 100,000 followers since it was released on Friday.

The brewing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has taken an unexpected turn with Taylor Swift being thrust into the spotlight. Drake's surprising admiration for Swift, calling her the "biggest gangster," has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the underlying dynamics between the three artists. Swift's close friendship with Lamar and her past collaboration with him on "Bad Blood" may have played a role in Drake's decision to praise her. However, the reason for his apparent animosity towards Lamar remains unclear.

Meanwhile, Swift's own "diss track" aimed at Kim Kardashian adds another layer to the drama. The ongoing fallout between the musicians highlights the complex relationships within the entertainment industry, where personal connections and artistic rivalries can intertwine. It remains to be seen how the situation will evolve and whether the feud will escalate further or eventually subside.
