āIt depends on what arena youāre putting yourself in. I called myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter,ā he said in the cover interview. āIf youāre saying youāre a different type of artist and you donāt really care about the art form of being the best rapper, then so be it. Make great music. But the title, it wonāt be there.ā
But on Sunday (June 2), fans noticed that there was a reference track of Keemās called āBulliesā that leaked online, which allegedly refuted Drakeās bar in āFamily Mattersā about āK Dot shit is only hittin hard when Baby Keem put his pen to it.ā

Drakeās insinuation that Baby Keem might be Kendrickās secret weapon were made on the same song in which the Toronto native claimed to have fed Kendrick fake information.ā
āWe plotted for a week, and then we fed you theinformation,ā he rapped. āA daughter thatās 11 years old, I bet he takes it/ We thought about givinā a fake name or a destination/ But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation.
āInstead you in that Venice studio, itās a celebration/ You gotta learn to fact-check things and be less impatient/ Your/ fans are rejoicinā, thinkinā 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.ā
But speaking on his Rumble channel, Akademiks ā who has been in regular contact with DrizzyĀ throughout his feud with Kendrick and even premiered numerous diss songs ā appeared to turn on the 6 God by sharing some insider information.

The media personality said of the artwork for K. Dotās āMeet the Grahams,ā which featured several items allegedly belonging to Drake including Ozempic pills: āI think Drake knew these things were stolen. It does look like some stolen shit.ā
Ak added: āDrake did know that they were stolen so I donāt know if heās trying to reverse psychology it. When Drake said he set it up, Iām taking that to be the 11-year-old daughter thing,ā he continued, referencing Kendrickās claim that the Toronto native secretly fathered a daughter.
