Saweetie is one of the latest celebrities to give her thoughts on the rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
While appearing on the Bootleg Kev show, the west coast female rapper gave Kendrick Lamar his flowers for dropping a hit song that also had meaning behind it. “That was very shocking. I was more so impressed with the banger that came out with it, because not only is it a banger but he’s preaching. It’s not just like fun bars, he’s preaching,” she said.
As we previously reported, Kendrick Lamar reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with his latest diss track aimed at Drake. After gaining attention for his standout verse on “Like That,” Kendrick Lamar has now secured a solo hit with his chart-topping single “Not Like Us.”
Furthermore, Lamar’s diss towards Drake on “Euphoria” has climbed to the No. 3 position from No. 11. “Like That” has also seen a resurgence, moving from No. 8 to No. 6. Meanwhile, Drake has made his mark with “Family Matters” debuting at No. 7.
As per Billboard, this marks Lamar’s fourth time at the top of the Hot 100 chart and his 15th entry into the top 10. Drake, on the other hand, boasts an impressive 78 top 10 hits, setting an all-time record.
Saweetie, who is also is a big time rapper from the west coast is used to making hits as well. The female rap star, just recently dropped her newest song ‘Nani’ where the song and dance moves in the video were amazing.
“Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ How she walk through, swingin’ that body/ Yellin’, ’Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me,” she sings. “Ooh, got that nani, nani, nani/ Big, bag, I’ma fill it up with money/ Yellin’, ‘Who gon’ stop me?’/ You ain’t got the time to clock me.”
“We’re going to make this summer unforgettable,” she posted on Instagram earlier this week, unveiling the cover art for the single. At the 2024 Gold Gala last weekend, Saweetie was honored with the first-ever Billboard Gold Music Honor. The event was dedicated to celebrating the 100 most influential Asian Pacific changemakers in culture and society over the past year. Speaking to Billboard on the red carpet, she expressed, “‘NANi’ embodies that confident and empowering energy. She’s the main character.”
