The lyrics of the track feature some disses aimed at the two famous rappers, setting the stage for a potential feud in the world of hip-hop. The song has already garnered much attention and has sparked a debate among fans online.

The track was released on Friday in Future and Metro Boomin’s new long-awaited collaborative album ‘We Don’t Trust You’, with amazing features from other names such as Travis Scott & Playboi Carti.

The “Humble” crooner said in his verse, “Fuck sneak dissing, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches.” The rapper continued in his verse with, “Motherfuck the big three, nigga, it’s just big me.”

Drake and J. Cole’s “First Person Shooter” was directly called out by him. The song appeared on Drake’s latest album, “For All the Dogs.” In the song, the two artistes referenced being the best rappers in the world and gave subtle nods to Lamar. However, Kendrick wasn’t pleased with it.
