Did Kendrick Lamar mention Terence Crawford in his diss track? Find out the song and 'Bud's' reaction to the name-drop

Terence Crawford undeniably reigns supreme in the modern boxing pound-for-pound rankings. 'Bud' etched his name in history as the first male boxer to clinch the undisputed championship in two weight classes during the four-belt era. He has claimed championship titles in three distinct weight classes: lightweight, super lightweight, and welterweight.

Crawford is set to make his debut in the super welterweight division this weekend at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, where he will face WBA titleholder Israil Madrimov. The 12-round bout will also have the vacant WBO interim super welterweight title up for grabs.

Did Kendrick Lamar mention Terence Crawford in his diss track?

The ongoing feud, or rather the "beef," between global hip-hop giants Kendrick Lamar and Drake has simmered for years, with animosity reaching new heights as time goes on. On April 13, Drake dropped the track 'Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50)', unleashing scathing remarks about Lamar's height and labeling him a marionette of the music industry.

In his response later that month, Lamar fired back with a six-minute diss track titled 'Euphoria,' hurling a torrent of insults and accusations against Drake. He branded the Canadian rapper as "predictable," a "master manipulator," and a "habitual liar," even referencing Drake's protracted conflict with fellow rapper Terrence Thornton, better known as Pusha T.

Interestingly, many might not be aware that Lamar also mentioned Terence Crawford in one of the verses of 'Euphoria'. Part of the lyrics read (via Musixmatch):

"Yeah, f**k all that pushin' P, let me see you push a T. You better off spinnin' again on him, you think about pushin' me. He's Terrence Thornton, I'm Terence Crawford, yeah, I'm whoopin' feet."

Check out Kendrick Lamar's song below:

In these lines, Lamar draws a comparison to Pusha T, asserting that while Pusha T is a formidable challenge, he himself is even tougher, likening himself to an undefeated boxer like 'Bud'. It’s worth noting that Crawford doesn’t compete very often, much like how Lamar’s music releases are infrequent.

During a recent appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, 'Bud' shared his thoughts on hearing his name mentioned in Lamar's diss track:

"I woke up to like 20-30 messages, like, 'Did you hear that?' I am like, 'What [are] you talking about?' I am listening... I am like, that's cool. I don’t think Drake can take it personally because, in the hip-hop industry, it’s a catchy song. I am sure we all got hyped for the song—I have."
