The Controversy Behind Kidz Bop Covering Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss Tracks

A viral TikTok video claims that Kidz Bop has covered Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ diss track aimed at Drake, but is this actually true? Here’s all the information we have.

Since April 2024, there has been a series of diss tracks exchanged between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake, including popular songs like “Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams,” and “Family Matters” that have gained viral attention online.

Metro Boomin, a well-known Hip Hop producer, recently released his track ‘BBL Drizzy’ and challenged all rappers to showcase their freestyle skills on the beat for a chance to win a custom beat from him. The song quickly caught the attention of rappers on TikTok, causing it to become a popular trend on the app.

The viral TikTok video claiming that Kidz Bop covered Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ has brought the group, known for creating child-friendly versions of popular songs, into the mix.

The video posted by TikTok user Angelica Trae has gained almost 5 million views and received numerous comments from viewers. In the footage, she features a YouTube video from what seems to be the verified Kidz Bop account, playing a song.

The paragraph contains phrases such as “I adore the way you move and speak,” and “Dear mother, I would like my sandwich crust removed, mac and cheese, and salami.”

The video caused speculation among many as to whether the song was actually authentic, and numerous viewers were convinced that it was created using AI technology.

Upon extensive searching on YouTube, I can confirm that the video in question was not posted on the official Kidz Bop channel. The most recent upload from the group was on May 10, 2024, featuring the current members reacting to one of their earlier music videos.

It is highly probable that the video was created by Artificial Intelligence, but despite searching the platform, I was unable to locate the specific video Angelica was watching.

Many viewers were impressed with some of the changes made to the lyrics and shared their thoughts in the comments section.

“One user responded, saying that cutting the crust off mac n cheese and adding salami makes it even better.”

Another individual exclaimed, “Wow, Metro accomplished the impossible: he actually made me enjoy a Kidz Bop song.”

A third person commented, “KIDZ BOP is capable of doing everything LOL.”

Ever since Kendrick & Drake’s diss tracks were released, this has become the newest trend to go viral. Twitch personalities Ludwig and QTCinderella have addressed it on their social media platforms, and YouTubers claim that reacting to these tracks has brought them significant amounts of money that have had a profound impact on their lives.
