Chet Hanks hilariously explains Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud to Tom Hanks
Chet Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, has revealed that his father asked him to explain the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The 33-year-old is an actor with notable roles in Empire, Shameless, and Your Honor, but he also has irons in the musical fire as half of the duo FTRZ.
In recent weeks, the two rappers have been at loggerheads in a highly publicised feud fraught with diss tracks and social media turmoil. During the tumult, a drive-by shooting incident also occurred outside Drake’s home, adding to the drama.
In a recent post to his Instagram story, Chet Hanks shared screenshots depicting a humorous conversation between himself and his father where he explained the Lamar vs. Drake feud. “Big Main, can you explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?” Tom asked, referring to his son with an unexpected nickname.
Chet duly attempted to explain how it all began with rappers ranking themselves superior to one another. “Yeah, so Drake and this other dude J Cole been saying they along with Kendrick are the ‘Big 3’ in Rap,” he wrote. “Then Kendrick put out a song saying, ‘Fuck the Big 3, it’s just big ME’ initiating the beef.”
Chet has a history in the hip-hop game, with previous recording credits under his alias Chet Haze. He continued to explain that the feud spiralled out of control when Drake brought anatomy nto the equation. “Then Drake was like, ‘you got small feet cuz you’re like 5 foot 5 or whatever,’” he continued. “Then Kendrick was like, you’re a dead beat dad and made fun of his Canadian accent.”
The situation grew more severe when Drake made accusations of domestic violence. “So Drake came back and was like, ‘Oh yeah? Well I heard you beat your wife,’” Chet added, “but literally like 30 seconds later Kendrick put out a diss overshadowing Drakes diss where he pretty much methodically dismantled Drakes entire psyche and called him a pedophile for flirting with young girls and revealing Drake had another kid that he was hiding from the world, which turned out to be false, and Drake came back and was like ‘hahaha I gotcho ass I had people give you false info to make you look stupid.’”
However, Chet revealed that this didn’t matter because “then Kendrick dropped another West Coast banger where he really went in on labeling Drake a pedophile that was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took .me to your high school in Oakland and we walked in on the basketball game and everybody started going nuts.”
Concluding his summary, Chet became increasingly illegible in his street tongue, finally revealing who he deems to be the victor. “Like if you heard it you would just automatically know how to Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then dap him up and tell him ‘Town Bidness’ which solidified the win not only for Kendrick but the entire West Coast,” he wrote.
Tom Hanks, who had seemingly lost interest halfway through reading his son’s response, replied, “Holy cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??”
Chet, comically outraged at his father’s inability to read through to the final line, responded, “Did you not just read what I said?”
