Kendrick Lamar’s name has become synonymous with rap beef. Especially after the release of his 2024 smash hit “Not Like Us” which aims at fellow rap star, Drake.
Quest Love Believed Kendrick Was Dissing Him on ‘Squabble Up’
With Lamar’s name becoming one with feuding in the rap industry, one member of the iconic Roots band said that he once believed he was the subject of a recent attack. During a recent appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Quest Love said he believed that part of Lamar’s track “Squabble Up” off his 2024 GNX album was aimed towards him. Mainly because the accompanying video to the song paid homage to the Roots’ “Next Movement”
“I was so shocked because of the way that people told me — I woke up to 30 K. Dot texts. I thought, ‘Oh no.’ He just dissed us. I thought it was something else. And they were like, ‘No, he paid tribute to y’all in this video,’” Quest Love explained.
“It’s an honor, but it’s also a surprise when you see people acknowledging you after all this time.”
Perhaps Quest Love believed that being the subject of a Kendrick attack could have something to do with his 2024 comments. During Lamar and Drake’s rap feud last summer, Quest chimed in on an Instagram post stating that “nobody won the war,” between the two emcees.
His main gripe was that the hatred and vitriol that the two artists expressed about each other through their lyrics, could get escalated into something far more serious.
“Nobody won the war,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “This wasn’t about skill. This was a wrestling match-level mudslinging and takedown by any means necessary — women & children (& actual facts) be damned.
“The same audience wanting blood will soon put up ‘rip’ posts like they weren’t part of the problem. Hip Hop truly is dead.”
