Kendrick Lamar‘s disdain for Drake runs deeper than just diss songs, according to Glasses Malone.
The Los Angeles rapper, who has collaborated with Kendrick in the past and remains a respected figure on the West Coast, has claimed that the Compton native actually wants to fight his fierce rival.

While appearing on the BagFuel podcast and discussing whether Drizzy would be in any danger visiting L.A., Malone said: “The only person who wants to kick Drake’s ass is Dot. Dot really wants to kick his ass.
“That n-gga don’t let [stuff] go. Kendrick, for sure, don’t let nothing go. Shout out to the whole TDE family — them n-ggas hold on to everything. If you say some shit, them n-ggas probably remember what you said to them in fourth grade.”

The Beach Cruiser MC, who was was the first to call Drake a “colonizer” before “Not Like Us,” also dispelled the myth that Kendrick is a “good kid,” as his debut album suggested.
“Everybody thinks Kendrick is this good kid in the mad city. This n-gga is not that good of a kid! He’s a mean person, bro,” he said. “There’s a confusion ’cause of the title of that album, but I don’t think people listened to the material.

“This n-gga is funny, he got a thousand jokes. There’s a weird rhetoric that this is some sort of cool guy. Dot is gonna clown you all day. I’ve had to stop this n-gga from fighting on tour buses, all kinds of crazy shit.”
He added: “This n-gga is working on himself […] He’s giving off what he wants to be, he’s setting a goal, reaching his goals and inspiring kids to be better humans.”
Kendrick Lamar himself just recently spoke about (or at least touched on) his long-simmering beef with the 6 God which erupted last year.
During a rare interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis ahead of his Super Bowl halftime show this weekend, the Pulitzer Prize winner explained what inspired his epic run in 2024, which included a barrage of devastating Drake diss songs and his victory lap of an album, GNX.
“My intent, from day one, was to always keep the nature of [Hip Hop] as a sport. I don’t care how muthafuckas look at it as far as a collaborative effort. That’s cool, too, but I love when artists grit their teeth,” he said.
“I still watch battle raps, I still watch Smack/URL, from Murda Mook to [Loaded] Lux to Tay Roc to my bro Daylyt. This has always been the core definition of who I am. I don’t think it was a thing for this year; I think it was just a continuation [of what I’ve been doing].”

He added: “What I will say about this year, it was more from a space where I think a lot of people were putting rap to the back and you didn’t see that grit, you didn’t see that bite anymore.”
