"This album that Kendrick put out, this is for the world. Like, we could go two three songs back and it's like he not even talking about bro. He's at this point in his life where he's on some sh*t like a lot of us."
Sukii further added:
"Where you have a threshold of how much you let people play with you, and like, this is just his way of putting out to the world 'Nobody is f*cking playing with me.' It's not just directed at him."
The clip gained much traction on the internet especially on X, where it received more than a million views as well. Netizens seemed to have a divided opinion on what they felt about Sukii Baby's remarks.

It is important to note that while Sukii was the cover image for Drake's album, they didn't know each other from before. According to Paris Aden, Sukii's photographer, Drizzy's team reached out after possibly noticing her photo online. The Instagram star told Complex:
"I shot that sh*t a long time ago."
It was further revealed that the photo used as the cover image for Her Loss, was the profile photo that Sukii Baby had been using. Later, Lil Yachty clarified by revealing on Instagram that it was him who had chosen the photo since he found it extremely "raw and authentic."
