The escalating feud between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake has reached new heights, with the simultaneous release of two scathing pieces of dissent.

After weeks of back and forth, the new songs get personal, with allegations of domestic violence and secret children.

Drake's track Family Matters appears to suggest that one of Lamar's children was fathered by another man.

Lamar's response, Meet The Grahams, alleges that Drake is addicted to gambling, sex, drugs and alcohol.

Drake rejects the allegations, calling them a "disaster."

The two songs, released within minutes of each other Saturday morning, are a lot darker than previous missives in their war of words.

Drake, who is the most listened to rapper in the world, casually suggests that Lamar is an author of domestic violence, rapping: "They hired a crisis management team/To clean up the fact that you beat your queen."

Outside the song, Lamar has never been accused of any form of domestic violence.
