In Playboi Carti's track Good Credit from his last album I Am Music, Kendrick Lamar had a dedicated verse where he seemingly took shots at ASAP Relli. He also mentioned basketball icon Luka Doncic in the track.

For those uninformed, ASAP Relli has been on the news in recent weeks due to the trial of rapper ASAP Rocky. Relli notably testified against Rocky during his gun assault trial, where the latter was accused of shooting the former. However, ASAP Rocky was declared innocent by the court in February 2025.

In his verse on Good Credit, Kendrick Lamar took direct shots at ASAP Relli and rapped:

"Belly on chain go big/White gold link fall on the belly/The emerald cuff for hers and his/That b**ch on point like A$AP Relli."

Further, K Dot also seemingly compared himself to Luka Doncic, a popular NBA icon who represents the Los Angeles Lakers. He is also a part of the Slovenia national team. In his verse, he seemingly suggested he "carries the weight" or is fat like Doncic and rapped:

"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, ni**a/ I'm Luka Dončić."

Kendrick Lamar also featured in two of Playboi Carti's other tracks - Backdoor and Mojo Jojo. Carti's collaboration with the West Coast rapper was kept under wraps as a surprise before he decided to release his entire tracklist just before dropping the album.

Playboi Carti was originally supposed to drop I Am Music at around midnight EST. However, he delayed it to 3 am EST. However, Carti did not drop his album at the said time. However, he allegedly confirmed to multiple hip-hop influencers, including DJ Akademiks and Kai Cenat that he would drop it "any minute now."

The phrase "any minute now" also began trending on X on March 14, hours before his album release. After a major chaos, Playboi Carti finally released the album at 7:30 am EST. The album has garnered mixed reviews so far.
