Drake took to Instagram Stories to react to a video of a lookalike rapping along to his popular song ‘Hotline Bling.’
He captioned the clip with a line from Kendrick Lamar’s diss track ‘Not Like Us’: ‘Sometimes you gotta pop out.’
On Kendrick’s track, the full line goes: ‘Sometimes you gotta pop out and show n-ggas / Certified boogeyman, I’m the one that up the score with ’em.’
While many claimed Drake lost to Kendrick, hip-hop legend Rakim believes the feud benefits the genre.
