"Family Matters" is a diss track by the Canadian rapper Drake released amidst his highly publicized feud with the American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released on May 3, 2024, through OVO Sound and Republic Records, alongside a music video, as a response to Lamar's "Euphoria" and "6:16 in LA".
Produced by Boi-1da, Tay Keith, Dramakid, Mark Ronson, Kevin Mitchell and Fierce, "Family Matters" is divided into three sections, with trap with drill elements. Music critics wrote that its lyrical content marked an intensification of Drake and Lamar's feud; Drake alleges that Lamar is a domestic abuser, that he is unfaithful to his fiancée Whitney Alford, and that one of their children was fathered by Lamar's creative partner Dave Free. In addition to Lamar, Drake attacks Future, Rick Ross, ASAP Rocky, Kanye West, Metro Boomin, Pharrell Williams, and the Weeknd.
"Family Matters" received positive reviews, with praise for its lyricism and production, as well as the Easter eggs in the music video. It debuted at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. Lamar responded to "Family Matters" within an hour, with "Meet the Grahams".
