Lil Yachty weighs in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle and shares his disappointment that so many people ganged up on Drizzy.
Lil Yachty Gives Thoughts on Drake and Kendrick Battle
On Thursday (May 16), Boat was interviewed in a new episode of A Safe Place Podcast where he gave his thoughts on the epic battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Yachty said he enjoyed the battle but not the aspect of so many artists ganging up on Drizzy.
“I think Drake has dealt with that s**t since the beginning of time,” Boat said in the interview below, which has seemingly been taken down. “He’s always not truly been liked. It’s unfortunate. I really wish it was only Drake and Kendrick. It kinda seemed like when Kendrick came out and was like ‘I hate this n***a’ everyone was like finally like, ‘I hate him too.’ Which is kinda p***y. It was a really good battle. I think that we’ll never get something like that again,” he continued.
The Atlanta rapper went on to say people deemed Drake a loser before the battle was over because he’s been on top for so long and rap fans want to see him fall. He also deemed the rap battle over, saying “Not Like Us” was the nail in the coffin.
“I think it’s over,” he added. “I think it ended with ‘Not Like Us.’ It’s a banger.”
However, Boat did say he didn’t think Drake won or lost.
