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

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.
