Whitney is a professional makeup artist who has been dating Kendrick almost from the beginning of his music career, and their relationship has been private and withdrawn from the public eye. However, her recent decision to unfollow Kendrick on Instagram while simultaneously following Dave Free, Kendrick’s long-time collaborator and friend, has raised eyebrows.
Dave Free reports that he was the music director and friend of Kendrick Lamar, who, in many ways, contributed to the great rapper, as the man was his manager for many years. Recently, Alford began to follow Dave Free’s Instagram.
This development occurs against the backdrop of a running battle between Kendrick and another rapper, Drake. The two have traded assaultive rhymes in a war of words, with allegations being thrown by both sides. In his song Family Matters, Drake insinuated that one of Kendrick and Whitney’s babies was sired by his manager, Dave Free. Kendrick responded with “Meet The Grahams,” a foul disc record about Drake. Then Kendrick fired back just as quickly, “Meet The Grahams,” stating that the artist has multiple secret children.
Drake raps:
“You did her dirty all her life, you tryna make peace/ I heard that one of them little kids might be Dave Free/ Don’t make it Dave Free’s/ ‘Cause if your GM is your BM secret BD/ Then this is all makin’ plenty f***in sense to me,”.
Drake denied the existence of a secret child; neither Kendrick nor Whitney mentioned anything about their child. However, their children have not been confirmed or denied, resulting in fans doing their investigative work.
Furthermore, Whitney’s activity on Instagram has not gone unnoticed; she has unfollowed Kendrick but still follows Dave Free. Likewise, Dave Free consistently interacts with her posts. It is safe to say he plays a role in the current controversy.
Whitney expressed some of her learning in a recent social media post: “I was stuck in a time and place that was no longer my reality and was no longer serving me.”This indicates that the rapper has undergone counseling and also talks of children who helped her with self-reflection and learned from her past.
Various social captions share their thoughts on the battle, raising questions about how celebrities use social media. Much drama has not unfolded, and the fact is that such a public fight has a direct influence on individuals and an indirect impact on the hip-hop community. Although we have access to some of these conversations, we should discuss their differences as fans of the music culture.
