Kendrick Lamar has seen accusations that he works with âghostwritersâ resurface online after a reference track by Baby Keem was leaked.
Fans have been pointing out K. Dotâs comments in a 2017 Rolling Stone article, and his opinions on ghostwriting. When asked how he feels about ghostwriters for rappers, the Compton native gave a non-committal answer.

âIt depends on what arena youâre putting yourself in. I called myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter,â he said in the cover interview. âIf youâre saying youâre a different type of artist and you donât really care about the art form of being the best rapper, then so be it. Make great music. But the title, it wonât be there.â
But on Sunday (June 2), fans noticed that there was a reference track of Keemâs called âBulliesâ that leaked online, which allegedly refuted Drakeâs bar in âFamily Mattersâ about âK Dot shit is only hittin hard when Baby Keem put his pen to it.â

Drakeâs insinuation that Baby Keem might be Kendrickâs secret weapon were made on the same song in which the Toronto native claimed to have fed Kendrick fake information.â
âWe plotted for a week, and then we fed you theinformation,â he rapped. âA daughter thatâs 11 years old, I bet he takes it/ We thought about givinâ a fake name or a destination/ But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation.
âInstead you in that Venice studio, itâs a celebration/ You gotta learn to fact-check things and be less impatient/ Your/ fans are rejoicinâ, thinkinâ this is my expiration/ Even the picture you used, the jokes and the medication/ The Maybach glove and the drug he use is for less inflation/ Master manipulator, you bit on the speculation.â
But speaking on his Rumble channel, Akademiks â who has been in regular contact with Drizzy throughout his feud with Kendrick and even premiered numerous diss songs â appeared to turn on the 6 God by sharing some insider information.

The media personality said of the artwork for K. Dotâs âMeet the Grahams,â which featured several items allegedly belonging to Drake including Ozempic pills: âI think Drake knew these things were stolen. It does look like some stolen shit.â
Ak added: âDrake did know that they were stolen so I donât know if heâs trying to reverse psychology it. When Drake said he set it up, Iâm taking that to be the 11-year-old daughter thing,â he continued, referencing Kendrickâs claim that the Toronto native secretly fathered a daughter.
