Lil Baby Admits He Didn't Like Kendrick Lamar Dragging Him Into Drake Beef

Lil Baby has revealed that he was not a fan of Kendrick Lamar namedropping him on his Drake diss song “Not Like Us.”

On the chart-topping track, K.Dot used the 4PF rapper, among others, as an example of Drizzy’s “colonizer” nature, rapping: “You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance / Let me break it down for you, this the real n-gga challenge / You called Future when you didn’t see the club / Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up.”

Baby was asked about the lyrics in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God that was released on Thursday (December 19), and admitted that he would’ve preferred to have been kept out of the high-profile feud.

“I ain’t really into that side of Hip Hop,” he said, referencing rap beef, before adding with a shrug: “So I ain’t really… you know.”

The Atlanta native added that he has a “great relationship” with Drake, with whom he’s collaborated numerous times on songs such as “Wants and Needs,” “Yes Indeed” and “Girls Want Girls.”

“It’s just like with any situation, if you and him were arguing, what the hell you gonna say, man?” he asked Charlamagne. “I don’t want nothing to do with it.

“Not saying whatever they got going on ain’t real, but I feel like, to me, rap is my work. I don’t want that type of shit at work.”

Kendrick Lamar recently explained the deeper meaning behind “Not Like Us,” which not only broke several streaming, sales and chart records but served as the knockout blow in his hotly-contested battle with Drake.

In a rare interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, the Compton rap star said: “Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent. Now, if you identify with the man that I represent.

“This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands on something. He’s not pandering. He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man.”

He added: “If I’m thinking of ‘Not Like Us,’ I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.”

While podcaster Mal claimed that Drake “laughed” at the bruising diss song, the OVO hitmaker hasn’t entirely taken defeat in stride.

Last month, he took legal action against Universal Music Group, accusing them of using streaming bots and payola to artificially boost the popularity of “Not Like Us.”

In the second of two “pre-action” filings, Drake also accused the music giant — the parent company of his label Republic and Kendrick’s longtime home of Interscope — of defamation by releasing a song that accuses him of being a sex predator.

Two court dates have been scheduled in the case in December and January. The hearings will determine whether Drake can depose people from UMG, Spotify and iHeartRadio regarding his claims of illegal activity.
