Lupe Fiasco and Joe Budden took to an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces discussion on Monday to dive into the viral feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, addressing long-standing rumors about their alleged disdain for the two rap titans. During the discussion, Fiasco confronted the rumors about his supposed hatred for Lamar, while Budden tackled similar accusations regarding his feelings towards Drake.

The conversation kicked off with Fiasco revealing his limited engagement with the diss tracks circulating between Lamar and Drake. “You know I haven’t listened to any of the songs? I listened to ‘Push Ups’ and then after the [Rick] Ross response [‘Champagne Moments’], I haven’t listened to anything. So I haven’t heard any of the records: ‘Family Matters,’ ‘Meet the Grahams,’ ‘Not Like Us.’ I kinda tapped out,” Fiasco admitted. Budden seized the moment, accusing Fiasco of harboring “sheer hate for one of them n****s,” to which Fiasco swiftly shot back with the same accusation.

In an effort to set the record straight, Fiasco declared, “I do not have a problem. No matter what was said in the past, what you think happened, what happened, what didn’t happen. I personally and professionally do not have a problem with my brother-in-arms Kendrick Lamar.” The heated exchange left fans eager for more insights into the minds of these influential artists.

The longstanding beef between Lamar and Drake has been brewing since the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” earlier this year. Although no new diss tracks have surfaced since May, the tension remains high.
