Kendrick changed the lyrics to the song and rapped: āGive me 2Pacās ring back and I might give you a little respect.ā
On the original version of the track, he said: āSomebody had told me that you got a ring, on God, Iām ready to double the wage/ Iād rather do that than let a Canadian n-gga make āPac turn in his grave.ā

The ring Kendrick Lamar is referring to is a piece of jewelry Drake bought at auction last year for over $1 million that belonged to 2Pac before he died.
The ring is made of gold, ruby and diamonds, and features an inscription that reads: āPac & Dada 1996,ā referencing the late rapperās engagement to his girlfriend Kidada Jones.

2Pac famously wore the ring during his final public appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, just days before he was tragically killed at the age of 25 in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.
While the identity of the winning bidder was initially kept a secret, Drake later revealed that he was in fact the buyer of the ring, which became the most valuable Hip Hop artifact ever sold at auction.
The Her Loss hitmaker posted a close-up photo on his Instagram Stories of him wearing the regal ring.
That wasnāt the only shot Kendrick Lamar took at Drake during the epic concert on Wednesday.
As well as performing his diss track āNot Like Usā several times along with an introduction from Dr. Dre, he said: āYāall aināt gonna let anyone disrespect the West Coast or mock our legends,ā referring to the A.I. recreation of his voice for āTaylor Made Freestyle.ā

Despite the demand from Kendrick Lamar, Drake has been vocal about his 2Pac love in the past.
He previously bought a pair of matching custom chains dedicated to the late rapper from Jason of Beverly Hills.
