Andre 3000 explained why the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar made him “sad.”

During an interview with Crack Magazine, 3000 explains, “I got a little sad, at a certain point,” he admitted.

He continued: “In early rap battles, you had kids in the park rapping against each other. But it’s not just people rapping now.”

“You got people with 100 employees. You have livelihoods, empires, companies, deals – all of it can be jeopardised. If you don’t have anything to lose, sure, go for it. But if I already made it, I’m not sure it’s even worth it any more.”

3 Stacks isn’t the only artist who gave their opinion on the battle. During a recent interview with Billboard, Latto also shared her thoughts. “I ain’t going to lie: I liked it- I liked the back-and-forth. I thought it was healthy for the culture. It just felt nostalgic. I don’t think our generation has even seen a rivalry like that. I f–ked with it” she expressed.

“I also think people get too in it, I feel like it’s two n—as that’s killing this sh-t, and they both so talented and they both on they high horse flexing their talent and capabilities. They both still that n—a, they both still the GOAT. That shit fye for the culture, bruh” she continued.
