"The Heart Part 6" (stylized as "THE HEART PART 6") is a diss track written and performed by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released on May 5, 2024, during his ongoing feud with American rapper Kendrick Lamar.[1][2][3][4] It is a response to Lamar's "Not Like Us" and "Meet the Grahams". The title of the song is a reference to Lamar's "The Heart" series of songs.

"The Heart Part 6" received generally negative reviews from critics and fans.

Content

The title is a reference to Lamar's "The Heart" song series,[5] which has lasted for over a decade as of 2024, starting in April 2010.[6]

The song samples "Prove It" by Aretha Franklin, specifically the line: "Now let me see you prove it / Just let me see you prove it."[1]

Reception

Candace McDuffie of The Root called the song a "cringy response" in which Drake's lyrics come off as a confession to Lamar's pedophilia accusations, and found his disses towards Lamar contradictory and nonsensical.[7]

"The Heart Part 6" garnered generally negative reactions from critics and fans alike, with the song garnering an estimated over 1 million dislikes on YouTube.[8]
