Kendrick Lamar called out by collaborator amid financial ruins
The rapper is accused by an ex collaborator of contributing to his financial struggles
Kendrick Lamar is getting some heat but not from Drake this time around for a change.
The rapper has been called out by one of his collaborators for his unfortunate circumstances in a scathing rant.
The collaborator in question is Zarius "Dody6" Cunningham, who has a feature verse in Lamar’s track Hey Now.
The song is the fifth single in Lamar’s Grammy-winning album GNX, which was released in November 2024.
Dody6 recently posted a series of profanity-filled videos on social media to accuse the 37-year-old of being the reason for his homelessness.
“I lost my house… I’m homeless… I admit that… I fell down, I’m bounce back,” Dody6 said.
He further revealed that working with Lamar did not change anything for him as he continues to deal with his financial struggles.
Dody6 went on to criticise the hip-hop industry for their neglect and even said that he is going to “kill them in real life.”
When did the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud begin?
The highly publicised rivalry between Drake and Lamar originally began in 2013 when the Canadian rapper responded to the Compton native’s verse on the track Control by Big Sean.
After years of subtle jabs, the feud became mainstream in 2023 when J. Cole collaborated with Drake on First Person Shooter.
In the song, Cole claimed that he, Drake, and Lamar are the “big three” rappers of contemporary hip-hop, a notion that was dismissed by Lamar, who proclaimed in Like That that it is “just big me.”
The beef escalated in 2024 when the two artists traded insults in diss tracks such as Family Matters and Meet The Grahams.
