Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar dropped another diss track called "Not Like Us," and accused Drake of being a pedophile in the lyrics.

It’s unknown at this stage of the investigation if the shooting was related to the beef with Kendrick Lamar.

Last week, a security guard was shot outside Cash XO’s Los Angeles area home. Cash XO co-founded XO Records with The Weeknd. The two are fellow Canadians and The Weeknd is one of the many artists who have had a falling out with Drake.
