2 Chainz has shared his take on Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track on “The Breakfast Club.”

Compton performer, Lamar, won five Grammy awards for the song earlier this month, and even went on to perform it during his explosive Super Bowl Halftime Show over the weekend.

It features a reference to Drake’s frequent collaborator, 2 Chainz, and contains contains lyrics about Drake allegedly being a pedophile, which the Toronto rapper sued Universal Music Group over about a month ago.’

“2 Chainz say you good, but he lied / You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars / No, you not a colleague, you a f*ckin’ colonizer,” he rhymes.

2 Chainz weighed in on this during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, revealing that he personally didn’t mind the name-drop.

According to him, he just sees it as wordplay, and thinks Kendrick simply used him as an example of an Atlanta rapper. “I just think it was kind of like some wordplay, ’cause Drake and I got a song called ‘No Lie.’ So when he said ‘he lied’ I just felt like, I don’t know. But I didn’t take it no kind of way,” he said.

2 Chainz went on, describing how he tends to stay in his own bubble when it comes to certain things, including Drake and Kendrick’s viral lyrical battle. “Of course, I know some of the things I need to know, but I really be clueless to a lot of stuff and I’m cool with that,” he explained. 

In other news, ever since the Drake battle ended, Kendrick Lamar fans have been wondering if he will stay quiet for a while longer or if he will follow right back up with more material.

When he announced his Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, it was clear that he plans to make a big splash next year, hopefully with a new album to move on from the beef.
