Plaboi Carti‘s new album Music is finally here — and it features a guest verse from Kendrick Lamar that appears to address the messy aftermath of his beef with Drake.
Adopting some of Carti’s distinct vocal quirks, the Compton native spits a playful yet braggadocious verse on “Good Credit” which includes a curious mention of “conspiracy theories.”
The numbers is nothing, the money is nothing, I really been him, I promise / Say Kenny been heavy out West and I carry the weight, n-gga, I’m Luka Dončić / Conspiracy theories is a given, but I must admit it, you got the wrong person,” he raps.
The lyrics appear to reference Drake’s bombshell lawsuit against Universal Music Group, which accuses the music giant of conspiring with Kendrick’s longtime label Interscope, Spotify and other companies to artificially inflate the popularity of his hit diss song “Not Like Us.”
The complaint, which was filed in January, claims UMG used streaming bots, payola and other illegal tactics to turn the blistering track into a global smash in an attempt to harm Drake’s reputation and reduce his leverage when renegotiating his contract.
Kendrick himself is not named as a defendant and has yet to formally address the allegations, although he did previously reference the lawsuit during his Super Bowl halftime show last month.
