Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s ongoing rap feud has sparked numerous slogans and references, catching the attention of fans and celebrities, including Keke Palmer.

The actress and singer has expressed confusion over one line from Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us, produced by Mustard. The song features Lamar mocking Drake’s 6 God moniker, a nod to Toronto’s nickname The 6ix, with the phrase 69 God.

Over the past few months, both rappers have released multiple diss tracks aimed at each other, with Not Like Us standing out due to its biting commentary.

The 30-year-old Keke Palmer took to Instagram to question the logic behind Lamar’s attack, finding it perplexing rather than insulting. Palmer expressed genuine curiosity about the negative connotation of being called a 69 God, suggesting that it implies mutual pleasure.

Her Instagram post included a caption where she humorously pondered the meaning, asking her followers if she was missing something. Palmer’s inquiry has sparked further discussion among fans and followers, adding another intrigue to the ongoing beef.

“I’m curious…what’s so bad about being the 69 god? As far as I know, 69 is something reciprocal,” she said.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar, known as Kung Fu Kenny, celebrated Juneteenth with a grand performance at his Pop Out show at the Forum in Inglewood. The event featured numerous diss tracks aimed at Drake, emphasizing the intensity of their rivalry.

Lamar took the opportunity to jab at Drake’s purchase of Tupac Shakur’s iconic crown ring for $1 million, suggesting that Drake does not deserve to carry 2Pac’s legacy.
