Kendrick Lamar names A$AP Relli, and compares himself to Luka Doncic on Playboi Carti's I Am Music feature
While Playboi Carti revealed the artists' names featured on I Am Music, he kept Kendrick Lamar's collaboration under wraps until the album was close to being released. Lamar makes not one but three guest appearances on Carter's latest album, wherein the former has referenced A$AP Relli and Luka Doncic in the track Good Credit.
Taking a dig at A$AP Relli and his testimony against A$AP Rocky in the lawsuit alleging the latter shot him, Lamar raps in a verse:
"Eliantte go big, white gold link fall on the belly/ The emerald cuff for hers and his, that bit*h on point like A$AP Relli.”
Despite A$AP Relli's testimony, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Additionally, Kendrick Lamar also compared himself to Slovenian basketball player Luka Dončić in his feature on Playboi Carti's album, and rapped:
“The numbers is nothing, the money is nothing, I really been him, I promise/ Say Kenny been heavy out West and I carry the weight, n*gga, I’m Luka Dončić/ Conspiracy theories is a given, but I must admit it, you got the wrong person."
In other news, after dropping his album I Am Music, Playboi Carti teased new music on the Instagram account of his record label Opium. In the caption of the post, celebrating the success of his third studio album, Playboi Carti mentioned "BABY BOI OTW."
