Chet Hanks is breaking down the Kendrick Lamar and Drake drama for his dad Tom Hanks.
On Monday, May 20, the Academy Award winner, 67, asked his son what all the fuss had been about between the two rap stars. Luckily, the 33-year-old musician was happy to help.

“Big Main, can you explain the Drake/ Kendrick Lamar feud to me?” the Forrest Gump alum asked via text message.
Chet shared a screenshot of the exchange on his Instagram Stories in two parts due to his lengthy explanation.
“Yeah, so Drake and this other dude J Cole been saying they along with Kendrick are the ‘Big 3’ in rap. Then Kendrick put out a song saying, ‘F— the Big 3, it’s just big ME initiating the beef,” the musician began.

He continued, highlighting Drake, 37, taking jabs at Lamar’s “small feet.”
Chet mentioned Lamar, 36, calling Drake a “dead beat dad” before a bit more back and forth that included domestic violence allegations.

“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,” Chet wrote.
His excitement and storytelling continued, with him paraphrasing the Canadian Grammy winner’s point of view: “Drake came back and was like, ‘hahaha I gotcho ass I had people give you false info to make you look stupid.’”
Before concluding, Chet gave a final rundown of what the beef felt like for music fans.

“It didn’t even matter,” Chet said of Lamar’s misinformation about Drake having a second child. “Cuz then Kendrick just dropped another West Coast banger where he really went in on labeling Drake a pedophile.”
To make the comparison easier for Tom, his son gave him a past example of the pair previously visiting the actor’s old school.
“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,” Chet wrote.
“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 concluded.
Tom finally rejoined the conversation.
“Holy cow! These are fighting words,” the Cast Away actor said before wanting to know the score. “People taking sides?? Who’s winning??”
“Did you not just read what I said,” Chet replied with laughing emojis.

However, it’s been more than a week since the two rappers have publicly traded insults.
On May 10, the CEO of Lamar’s Top Dawg Entertainment, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, declared the beef was done.
“This battle is over,” Tiffith tweeted, calling it “a win for the culture.”
