"That is hilarious!"- Fans Crack Up as Tom Hanks Tries to Grasp the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Beef With His Son
The Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud, while serving as a spectacle, had many layers to it. It all began with the acknowledgment of their dominance as the leading trio in the 2010s hip-hop. But then, out of the blue, it transformed into a full-blown rap civil war. With each passing diss track and shocking revelation, the feud only seemed to grow more tangled, leaving poor Tom Hanks and other baby boomers scratching their heads in confusion.
Fortunately, the actor found the perfect guide to untangle the beef. He turned to his son, Chet Hanks, to grasp the fuss that had been keeping hip-hop fans hooked for weeks. Chet Hanks, who had moonlighted as a rapper/reggae artist in the past, made sure to break it down in a way his dad could understand. When it finally clicked for the Forrest Gump actor, he could not help but blurt out, “Holy cow! These are fighting words”.
