Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s album sparks social media frenzy and revives historic hip-hop beef
Social media erupted on Friday following the release of a new song from Future and Metro Boomin’s joint album, with rapper Kendrick Lamar potentially reigniting a long-standing feud with fellow artists Drake and J. Cole.
Rapper Future and music producer Metro Boomin unveiled their much-anticipated joint album, “We Don’t Trust You,” featuring a star-studded lineup including Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and Kendrick Lamar.
Lamar’s appearance on the track “Like That” set off a frenzy on social media, as his lyrics seemingly took aim at rappers Drake and J. Cole, making references to their joint song released in 2023 titled “First Person Shooter.”
“Yeah, get up with me, f– sneak dissing/ ‘First Person Shooter’/ I hope they came with three switches,” Lamar rapped, sparking speculation about veiled disses directed at his fellow artists.
Continuing his verse, Lamar appeared to address Drake directly, referencing the Canadian rapper’s latest album “For All The Dogs” with the lines, “‘fore all your dogs gettin’ buried/ that’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see ‘Pet Sematary.'”
