Playboi Carti's latest album I Am Music, released on March 14, 2025, has taken the internet by storm. This is not only because of the high anticipation surrounding the rapper's studio album, but also because of a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.

Kendrick Lamar calls out A$AP Relli on Playboi Carti's album I Am Music: Details explored
Playboi Carti's collaborative track with Kendrick Lamar, called Good Credit, features the latter taking a dig at A$AP Relli, who was recently involved in a lawsuit against A$AP Rocky.
In the lawsuit, Relli claimed that Rocky shot him with a gun in November 2021, and that the bullet grazed his hand. However, the court found A$AP Rocky not guilty of the felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm. Referencing the controversy concerning Relli and Rocky on Carti's album, Kendrick Lamar rapped:
"Elliante chain go big, white gold link fall on the belly/ The emerald cuff for hers and his, that b*tch on point like A$AP Relli."
Additionally, even before Playboi Carti confirmed Lamar's feature on I Am Music, DJ Akademiks announced the same during a recent livestream. Akademiks asked fans to buckle up indicating that Lamar was about to diss Drake again on the Carti album.
It is speculated that Lamar indirectly hinted at Drake's lawsuit against UMG in one of the verses on Good Credit. The verse in question states:
"The numbers says nothing, the money is nothing, I really been held my promise/ Say Kenny been heavy out West and I carry the weight, nigga, I'm Luka Dončić/ Conspiracy theories is given, but I must admit it, you got the wrong person."
While there is no confirmation about the same, the mention of 'conspiracy theories' in the lyrics reportedly points to Drake's claim that Universal Music Group conspired with Spotify to artificially enhance the streams of Kendrick Lamar's diss track Not Like Us.
I Am Music is Playboi Carti's third studio album. In addition to a feature by Kendrick Lamar, the album consists of collaborations with The Weeknd, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, and Ty Dolla $ign, among other artists.
