TDE rapper Ray Vaughn has called out Mal from the New Rory & Mal podcast for “hating” on Kendrick Lamar.

The Long Beach native, who signed to Top Dawg Entertainment in 2021, took to X on Monday (May 27) to blast the podcast over his comments about K. Dot.

“That ‘MAL’ dude is obsessed with hating on a DOT & it’s weird asf,” he wrote. “only time I see him go viral is hatin.”

Mal quickly came across the post and simply responded with laughing emojis.

Ray Vaughn’s comments appear to be in response to Mal contesting good kid, m.A.A.d city‘s placement on Apple Music’s 100 best albums list.

The streaming platform ranked Kendrick’s major label debut at No. 7, but Mal completely disagreed.

Speaking on his aforementioned podcast, he said: “Fuck it, man. good kid, m.A.A.d city is not No. 7 of all time. Let’s stop the shit. Spotify with these fake streams. Stop the shit, bro. We all fuck with Kendrick but stop the bullshit. No. 7 of all [time]?

“Yo, he’s five slots behind [Michael Jackson‘s] Thriller. Are you fucking kidding me? There’s nothing personal, but good kid, m.A.A.d city is at No. 7?”

He then said to co-host Rory: “I’m asking you — fuck this list — you think that good kid, m.A.A.d city deserves to be No. 7 and Illmatic is No. 48 or whatever it is?”

Mal has also sided with Drake in his feud with Kendrick Lamar, calling out the Compton rapper for allegedly assaulting his fiancée and claiming that Drizzy’s “Family Matters” was the best diss track.

“You, Mr. Lamar, you hit your girl because she’s bigger than you,” he said in an earlier episode of his podcast. “You put your hands on your girl. You’ve been engaged for years, you’re not married yet. You living in New York, she’s not. Let’s talk real shit.

“All this 11-year-old daughter shit y’all talking about. ‘Oh, ’cause he released it right after ‘Family Matters,’ it’s a better record.’ Get the fuck outta here with that shit.”

He added: “[‘Family Matters’] is the best record that’s been released in this entire beef.”
