Kendrick Lamar has seen accusations that he works with “ghostwriters” resurface online after a reference track by Baby Keem was leaked.

Fans have been pointing out K. Dot’s 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.

“It depends on what arena you’re putting yourself in. I called myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter,” he said in the cover interview. “If you’re saying you’re a different type of artist and you don’t really care about the art form of being the best rapper, then so be it. Make great music. But the title, it won’t be there.”

But on Sunday (June 2), fans noticed that there was a reference track of Keem’s called “Bullies” that leaked online, which allegedly refuted Drake‘s bar in “Family Matters” about “K Dot shit is only hittin hard when Baby Keem put his pen to it.”

Drake’s insinuation that Baby Keem might be Kendrick’s secret weapon were made on the same song in which the Toronto native claimed to have fed Kendrick fake information.”

“We plotted for a week, and then we fed you theinformation,” he rapped. “A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it/ We thought about givin’ a fake name or a destination/ But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation.

“Instead you in that Venice studio, it’s a celebration/ You gotta learn to fact-check things and be less impatient/ Your/ fans are rejoicin’, thinkin’ 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.”

But speaking on his Rumble channel, Akademiks — who has been in regular contact with Drizzy throughout his feud with Kendrick and even premiered numerous diss songs — appeared to turn on the 6 God by sharing some insider information.

The media personality said of the artwork for K. Dot’s “Meet the Grahams,” which featured several items allegedly belonging to Drake including Ozempic pills: “I think Drake knew these things were stolen. It does look like some stolen shit.”

Ak added: “Drake did know that they were stolen so I don’t know if he’s trying to reverse psychology it. When Drake said he set it up, I’m taking that to be the 11-year-old daughter thing,” he continued, referencing Kendrick’s claim that the Toronto native secretly fathered a daughter.
