What does Kendrick Lamar say about ASAP Relli? K Dot seemingly fires direct shots at rapper in Playboi Carti's Good Credit

Kendrick Lamar has seemingly taken shots at ASAP Relli in the song Good Credit from Playboi Carti's third studio album, I Am Music. The Not Like Us rapper has made a total of three guest appearances in the album, which was released on Friday, March 14, 2025.

A day before the album was released, DJ Akademiks confirmed that Kendrick Lamar would be featured in Playboi Carti's album. The announcement, made on March 13, 2025, elevated the anticipation about the album. After seven hours of delay, Playboi Carti dropped I Am Music along with a tweet.

"ALBUM OUT MFFFFFF," the tweet read.

Kendrick Lamar makes his guest appearance in the second verse of Good Credit. He starts with an announcement on behalf of "the vamps and boogies" before referring to Usher's 1997 chart-topper, My Way.

In the next line, he talks about the celebrity jeweller Elliot Eliantte and mentions ASAP Relli. Lamar has boasted Eliantte's pieces in many of his appearances, including his headlining act at the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX halftime show.

“Eliantte go big, white-gold link fall on the belly/The emerald cut for hers and his, that b*tch on point like ASAP Relli,” raps K Dot.

ASAP Relli (born Terell Ephron) is an American rapper known for being a part of a hip-hop collective called ASAP (Always Strive and Prosper) Mob in the past. The group currently consists of rappers like A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti, among others.

Many fans theorized that K Dot seemingly alluded to the recently concluded legal skirmish between ASAP Relli and A$AP Rocky. Relli had accused Rocky of shooting at him during an argument in Los Angeles on November 6, 2021. According to Relli, the bullet grazed his arm.

A$AP Rocky was arrested and charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm. However, the Fashion Killa singer incessantly pleaded not guilty and was cleared of all charges after a 14-day trial period in January 2025. It is important to note that Kendrick Lamar hasn't said anything about the significance of his reference as of writing.

In addition to Good Credit, Lamar also features in songs like Mojo Jojo and Backd00r from Playboi Carti's album.
