“You ’posed to be a n#### who bless a n####. That’s why them n##### would never be bigger than Drake, ever in life,” he said.
“You know how many n##### life Drake changed? You know how many n##### can take care of their family cause of [Drake.]” Thug added, emphasizing the Toronto rapper’s influence and generosity.
He also took a swipe at Kendrick’s cousin, Baby Keem, saying, “[Kendrick] ain’t really helped nobody, n#### ain’t gaining fans of you. Keem ain’t big, Keem lil as hell.”
