Kendrick Lamar Appears to Rekindle Feud With Drake and J.Cole as Rapper Addresses the ‘Big 3’ on Future and Metro Boomin’s New Album

Kendrick Lamar appeared to reignite his feud with Drake and J.Cole when the rapper voiced the “Big 3” on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album.

Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are known as The Big 3 of rap, with Kendrick claiming, “The big three, n***a, it’s just big me.”

Future and Metro Boomin’s highly anticipated joint album, We Don’t Trust You, was released on Friday and features guest appearances from Drake, Travis Scott and Rick Ross, among others.

Attacking Drake and J.Cole on a song titled Like That, Kendrick raps, “Sneak dissin’, First Person Shooter, I hope they came with three switches.”

‘I still got PTSD / Muthaf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me / N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that.’

He ends his verse with, “N***a, bum, ‘for all your dogs gettin’ buried / That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”

Drake and J.Cole previously collaborated on First Person Shooter and his 2023 album For All the Dogs.

The song contained the following lyrics: ‘Love when they discuss the hardest MC/Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/We, the big three, like we started a competition, but right now I feel like Muhammad Ali.

‘Who the GOAT? Who are you really rooting for?/Just like a child who misbehaves from January to November, it’s just you and Cole,” Drake added, ignoring Kendrick’s existence.

Fans shared their thoughts on hope we get spicy Drake and spicy Cole as a result of this Kendrick verse.”

“I’m a fan of both J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar. I heard the song and I think it was more Drake-oriented. I’m all for them having outright disses, because I believe this is what hip-hop needs!’

Meanwhile, others claimed: ‘Lol Kendrick calling himself the big me from his basement, he hasn’t been outside, stop this nonsense.’: ‘I love Kendrick and he’s a great rapper but bashing J.Cole or Drake is such an influence take his side.’

In October, Taylor Swift praised her Bad Blood collaborator Kendrick following the re-release of her highly anticipated 2014 hit album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

The hitmaker, 33, raved about Lamar helping her ‘reclaim and own’ her work, following a row over ownership of her back catalogue.

Bad Blood was originally released in 2014, and Lamar, 36, stars in a subsequent hip-hop remix released in 2015.

Now Lamar has lent his vocals to the brand new re-recording of the song that appears on the deluxe version of her new 1989 album.

In a tribute she posted to her Instagram on Friday, Swift said it was “surreal” to know that Lamar had agreed to return to the studio for the song’s reissue.

“Watching @kendricklamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life,” she wrote.

“I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him.

“Every time the crowd on The Eras Tour chanted his line, ‘You forgive, you forget, but you never let go…’ I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work that I am so proud of is surreal and mind-boggling to me.

“I’m thrilled to announce that the Bad Blood Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar) is widely available on the 1989 Deluxe Edition.”

The post included a photo of Taylor with Kendrick, along with a video of her performing the song for her fans as they read his part of the song to her.

Taylor finally re-released her 2014 hit album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Thursday after a row over ownership of her back catalogue.
