Kendrick knew he had it won either way because even if Drake resisted every urge in his body to go the personal route we all know Drake uses writers, is shallow and surface level as an artist, with very low actual cultural cache. Drake was NEVER going to out-rap Kendrick. He was NEVER going out-write Kendrick. And he didn’t have enough juice in the culture to get anyone of note to turn on Kendrick. Thats why NOBODY except Yachty stood by Drake during the thick of his ass-whopping, they all waited until the worst of it died down to say anything supportive about him.
This.

That didn't work against Nas, why would it work against Kendrick? Cole tried this to a lesser extent while also trying Jay's "one hot album" thing - which once again did not work against Nas and clearly didn't work against Kendrick.

Ironically the best attack on Kendrick would be similar to Not Like Us: an anthem/banger that straight up clowns him. You're short, you don't have any bars people remember, you dress like shyt, etc. I don't think Drake was capable of making anything as potent as Not Like Us so he was always gonna lose, but he would have done better with a fun yet vicious track instead of Family Matters which was way too serious (and unfocused).

Corny sh*t.

Y'all Drake fans need to just leave it alone. It's over.
