Drake and Kendrick have been feuding over diss issues for many months.
“But it didn’t even matter because then Kendrick released another West Coast hit where he actually went about labeling Drake a pedophile, which was pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we got into The basketball game and everyone started going crazy.
“Like if you heard it, you’d automatically know how to make Crip walk around with a stinky face while holding an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch, then punch him and say ‘Town Bidness,’ which solidified the win not just for Kendrick but the entire west coast.

Although Chet assured the public that ‘I love my parents’ and ‘I wouldn’t want to have different parents,’ he confessed that having a famous family is ‘a double-edged sword.’
He spoke about his upbringing in a YouTube video titled ‘The Truth About Growing Up Like Hanks’ saying that many people ‘despised’ him as the son of a movie star, and while trying to navigate the ‘shit talk’ and ‘damn horsemen’ ‘, he lacked ‘a strong male role model’ who could have told him: ‘Hey, bro, screw these people.’ “They’re just jealous of you.”
In the video, Chet shared that “my experience was even more complicated because on top of the fame already being toxic, I wasn’t even famous.” You know, I was just the son of someone famous, so I hadn’t even done anything to deserve any kind of recognition and that generated a lot of contempt, a lot of contempt towards me.
Chet shared that while his father was “on this pedestal,” it was “assumed” that he himself was “a really arrogant, spoiled brat, even though I really wasn’t.”
During his high school and college years, “people made up their minds about me before they even had a chance to meet me and it was extremely difficult to break down their walls, so I encountered a lot of disdain, a lot of animosity, a lot of negativity because everyone he was prepared to hate my guts.’
As a result, he ended up with “a resentment” and formed a “hard exterior” due to the “anger” he harbored.
He recalled that ‘people screwed me over a lot growing up.’ It was never in my face. She always went behind my back, in the form of gossip and chatter.”

In April 2023, the father of one also faced backlash for refusing to apologize for culturally appropriate accents.
While appearing on Showtime’s ZIWE talk show, he was asked if there were any marginalized communities he wanted to apologize to. Hanks responded, “No.”
Chet had been routinely accused of “cultural appropriation” for frequently attempting to speak with a fake “Jamaican” accent.
In 2020, he was criticized once again for posing as what appeared to be Jamaican Patois (a creole language of English origin with West African influences) in a bizarre video ranting about Donald Trump following Joe Biden’s presidential victory.
Chet once again impersonated a Jamaican accent at the Golden Globes in 2020, after a video went viral in which he spoke Patois and laughed, while saying he didn’t want a ‘mawga’ girl, meaning ‘ skinny’.
