Funkmaster Flex wants to know what the point was of Kendrick Lamar and Drake's beef and has taken to X (formerly Twitter) with some ideas. Speaking on the feud after Lamar hosted a massive concert in his hometown of Los Angeles, Flex theorized the beef could've been for marketing or pure competition. “I HAVE DRAKE / KENDRICK QUESTION?,” he wrote. “WAS IT A LYRICAL COMPETITION? OR A MARKETING / CAREER RELAUNCH? I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE RULES IN A LYRICAL BATTLE?”
Many of Lamar's fans came to his defense in the replies to the post. One user wrote: "Drake lost regardless of what you call it lmaooo.. but what makes you say Career relaunch? Did he retire & i missed it?" Another added: "Bro acting like Kendrick career was dead or dying…it would make sense if this was Rick Ross." Ross, as well as Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and more artists, have also been feuding with Drake.
