In the latest episode of his podcast A safe place, Lil Yachty spoke on various topics regarding his proximity to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. The Atlanta rapper wasn't too keen on Kendrick dropping him on “Euphoria,” telling his producer, “I really didn't want anything to do with it,” after revealing he received a ton of excited calls and texts from friends. . He also knew his name would be mentioned before the song came out, adding: “I knew my name was mentioned before it came out. I haven't heard the record, but I had word that I was mentioned. I wasn't surprised.”
However, Boat was also able to appreciate two of rap's most important figures battling it out, saying, “I got a ton of respect for both of those guys. Honestly, it was cool to watch. I learned so much. It was an honor and a blessing to be able to experience it first hand.”
In another clip, he gives his opinion on who won or lost, and as of now, Yachty has it as a tie because the cards were stacked against the Toronto rapper. “Drake dropped great records. But also, let's be fair: Drake was considered a loser in this battle before it started because people don't like him and they don't like him,” he said after suggesting Kendrick's apparent “feud.” He went on to admit that he thinks Drake will be fine: “I don't think people are going to stop listening to Drake and Drake's career is going to wash away.”
Boat then said he told Drake “I don't feel like you win or lose” before adding: “Rappers lose and then they lose everything. But that hasn't happened to Drake. He'll still be on everyone's Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year and he'll continue to drop hits and control the summer. I think Kendrick made some really smart moves and I don't think Drake would disagree.”
Drake and Yachty collaborate often, for what it's worth.
