Commenting on the rap battle between the two, Ross said that Drizzy won, in his opinion. He added that while Kendrick Lamar made the hit track Not Like Us, the song featured claims about Drizzy having a daughter, which were debunked. He dubbed Lamar's lyrics as "all lies". The streamer said that despite Lamar's claims in the song not being real, "people don't bring that up."

Putting forth his perspective on Drake, the Kick streamer mentioned:

“In 2011, I was 11 years old. It was called Would You Like a Tour? I believe,” he said. “It was when [Drake] first dropped Take Care, he took Kendrick, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd — he took all these guys on tour. Gave them all a feature. French Montana, Meek Mill, all of them. He helped put them on and you’re doing him like this.”

Adin Ross also expressed his speculation on how other artists tried to throw Drizzy off his game, given that he has been a popular rapper for many years. Calling it "built up", Ross said that people cannot knock the One Dance rapper out.

He added that he didn't mean disrespect to Kendrick Lamar and him a "legend", however, Ross thought that Lamar's Mr. Morale album was horrible. The Kick streamer also believes that Drizzy revived Lamar's career.

While the details of Drizzy's recent gambling stream haven't been revealed yet, the rapper's Christmas giveaway featured a dream vacation, a trip for two to watch Drizzy perform live in Australia, $250,000 each for two people, a luxury car, and more.
