Pharrell Fires Shots at Drake in New Single “Double Life”

Pharrell Williams and Drake

Pharrell Fires Shots at Drake in New Single “Double Life”

Pharrell Williams and Drake have long had a simmering feud, largely rooted in Pharrell’s close friendship with Pusha T, who notoriously clashed with Drake in 2018. Despite the tension, Pharrell and Drake managed to collaborate on a remix of “Lemon” in 2017. However, the situation took a turn for the worse during Drake’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. Lamar claimed to have inherited the beef from Pharrell, prompting Drake to taunt Lamar about Pharrell’s jewelry, escalating the rivalry.

On June 14, Pharrell released his new single “Double Life” as part of the Despicable Me 4 soundtrack. While it’s surprising to think a diss track might be tucked into a kid’s movie soundtrack, Pharrell’s lyrics suggest he’s addressing Drake directly. The lines “Lie detector time,” and “Hey, what are you hiding?” appear to point at Drake’s notorious double life, further emphasized by the bars, “Nothing wrong being private… Make sure it ain’t wrong.”

Known for his positive vibes and hits like “Happy,” Pharrell’s foray into dissing Drake is unexpected yet not entirely shocking. Drake previously took shots at Pharrell on the 2023 Travis Scott hit “Meltdown,” and despite Pharrell’s generally uplifting persona, it seems he has decided to respond in kind.

Pharrell’s history with diss tracks includes his involvement in Clipse’s “Mr. Me Too,” which targeted Drake’s mentor, Lil Wayne, over fashion plagiarism. Given this background, a diss aimed at Drake seems like a natural progression. While Pharrell hasn’t confirmed that “Double Life” targets Drake, the context makes it a plausible theory.

In the world of hip-hop, where feuds and rivalries often fuel creativity, Pharrell’s subtle yet pointed bars on “Double Life” may signal that even the most positive figures can reach a breaking point. Whether this track will escalate the feud or simmer down the tension remains to be seen.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
